The buggy wasn't driven by Trump, but is thought to be his "getaway vehicle" should anyone open fire on the course. The black, obviously armored vehicle followed Trump around as he played golf, with many experts noting that it bore similarities to "The Beast" — Trump's protective vehicle stateside.

As somebody who has lost track due to the sheer volume of issues with this man... What did he do in Aberdeenshire?

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 101 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So in building his Aberdeenshire Golf Course he:

  • Destroyed a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
  • Tried to bully neighbouring landowners off their land by building a wall to block their sea view, cutting their electricity connection and generally harassing them.
  • Tried to strong arm the Scottish Government into stopping an off shore wind farm which was so far off the coast you can barely see it (saw it myself, it's barely visible).
  • Generally tried to interfere in Scottish Politics like he's King of Scotland.

Generally, he's a cunt, and this was before his 2016 bid for president.
