By all means, feel free to buy into the populist "Rosie O'Donnell" characterization of someone you've probably never met. As to the issue of bankruptcy-- two companies owned by Trump did go bankrupt. However, they were only two of a larger number of companies in the overall group of business operating under the umbrella of Trump, Inc. at that time. Mr. Trump's core business has never gone bankrupt. Anyone who suggests otherwise needs to check his information.

The bottom line here seems to be that there is more resentment of Mr. Trump based on what he has accomplished-- and the money he's made-- than actual interest in his proposed, billion dollar, investment in an economically disadvantaged area of Scotland. (or his conforming to Scots Law with regard to the registration of corporate arms).

I agree with Sketraw, in so far as Scotland's scenic wonders should be preserved. That said, I also believe that to support the social infrastructure (schools, health care, etc.) inward investment of capital is vitally necessary if Scotland is to go forward and develop a vibrant internal economy. The proposal by Mr. Trump's company to provide inward investment as well as long term employment in the area is something that needs to be carefully considered, and seems to be receiving that consideration at all levels of government.

The point of my original posting was that I found it mean-spirited and sad that people would use the forum to take cheap shots at someone they don't know. The tread is supposed to concern itself with Heraldry or Tartans and, in my opinion, venting against the rich-- simply because they're rich-- really doesn't belong.
