Donald Trump : Dark Side of The Green

Read Time:3 Minute, 1 Second

Donald Trump occasionally referred to as ‘The Donald’ and, potentially, to be referred to as President Fart in the highly unlikely eventuality that Americans are really demented enough to elect him to said office, is an extremely unpleasant bully. I do not know this to be true via following American politics shows – my interest in watching politicians in Britain is minimal at best so I’m buggered if I’m going to watch them in America – I know this to be true because of his golf course.

Lord Trump of Trumpington built a golf course near Aberdeen in Scotland some time ago. Back in 2012 the following article appeared about a documentary made about Trump and his golf course.

“Residents living near Donald Trump’s £750m golf resort in Aberdeenshire have suffered ‘egotistical bullying,’ film-maker Bill Forsyth claims.

He compares the living conditions of Trump’s neighbours with living in communist-era Romania as a highly critical documentary on the development called You’ve Been Trumped is set to air on UK television for the first time this Sunday.

Forsyth was left ‘dazed and shocked’ after watching the film about proud Scottish home owners taking on the celebrity tycoon.

The film shows residents’ water and electricity being cut off, tonnes of earth being piled up next to their homes and film-maker Anthony Baxter arrested as complaints by locals to police are ignored.

Forsyth told The Guardian news paper: ‘We’re watching real lives and livelihoods mercilessly put to hazard by a malign concoction of egotistical bullying, corporate muscle flexing, craven averting of gaze by national politicians and crass misreading of events by local authorities including police.’

The documentary, which was acclaimed by radical American film-maker Michael Moore, makes parallels with his Bafta-winning classic film Local Hero in 1983 which tells the story of an American oil tycoon who wants to buy out a remote Scottish village.

Many refer to Local Hero including neighbour Michael Forbes who resisted Trump’s attempts to acquire and demolish his home to expand his golf course.

Trump says on the golf course website: ‘I have never seen such an unspoiled and dramatic sea side landscape and the location makes it perfect for our development.’

But Forsyth described the documentary about the development ‘a moving depiction of human survival and dignity amidst murky doings akin to seventies Romania’.

The film-maker also described Trump as having ‘very limited utility in a sophisticated fictional drama. That’s not to deny his usefulness elsewhere, say in a comparatively primitive or cheap drama’.

On hearing that “You’ve Been Trumped” would be broadcast on British television, the tycoon went on a tirade on Twitter, targeting director Baxter and other ‘morons’ for criticising the multi-million pound resort.”

Another programme went out last Wednesday entitled “Dark Side of The Green” and Trump was, again, shown to be a corporate bully who, frankly, couldn’t care less about any one on the planet who isn’t in agreement with him.

He is shown for what he is.

A very wealthy, arrogant, dangerous, obnoxious bully.

If America is really dumb enough to let this man anywhere near The White house then, to be honest, America would lose the respect of all sane people who, currently, like myself, love and admire America (in general).

I watched ‘Dark Side of The Green’ and it showed Trump to be even worse than the original documentary highlighted below –

He is, by any stretch of the imagination, an A1 S.O.B.
