Trump's golf course destroys environment
04 11 08 - 04:27 DONALD Trump insisted last night the global financial meltdown would not stand in the way of him realising his dream of building the "world's greatest golf course" in Scotland.Speaking from Trump Tower in New York, the billionaire tycoon said: "In many ways, this is the right time for the project. It's the right time to start thinking about jobs and it's the right time to start buying."
His confident vow came after the Scottish Government gave the go-ahead yesterday to the controversial development, a decision that sparked outrage among environmentalists.
Mr Trump has spent more than two years championing his vision of transforming the protected stretch of sensitive coastline into a dream golf resort, in the face of a massive outcry from environmentalists who claim it will destroy the "jewel in the crown" of Britain's shifting sand-dune systems.
Campaigners claim government approval of the scheme contravenes almost every planning and environmental policy and government strategy in the national canon.
