Trump - The Man

 

What's the Site About

The purpose of this site is to present the reasons why we should reject the proposed Trump International development at Menie Links, north of Balmedie on the Aberdeenshire coast, in it's current form.

The Public Inquiry continues - handled with great fairness by the reporters - the Trump scientific evidence is not proving robust

SUSTAINABLE ABERDEENSHIRE WELCOME THE DECISION TO HOLD A PUBLIC LOCAL INQUIRY. CONFIDENCE  IN THE PLANNING PROCESS IS RESTORED.

 The Objectors group presented their "Precognition" (a statement from a witness) as objectors and members of Sustainable Aberdeenshire, and took questions from the panel of Reporters.

Read the full text of the PRECOGNITION.

 

The site fully supports "Sustainable Aberdeenshire" - a pressure group of concerned environmentalists, local residents and the broader community who are united in opposition to the Trump steamroller. Trump refuses to negotiate. See the MANIFESTO page to see what Sustainability Aberdeenshire stands for. If you can offer help in anyway contact notrump@meniescotland.co.uk . Our other website is www.menielinks.com

The people of Aberdeenshire and the Aberdeenshire Council have to decide whether Menie is a national treasure which should be preserved for our children or a 'real estate opportunity' for the Trump organisation and its investors.

Why do we need this website? The Trump organisation has its professional publicity and marketing machine plus 'The Donald' himself - media star and self-publicist Donald Trump. The Trump organisation's message is that this is "All about Golf", and that the golf course will result in an economic boom for Aberdeenshire. This message has been relentlessly promoted and featured in the local and national newspapers.

But it's not "All about Golf" - it's also about severe damage to the natural environment, loss of public access, a blight on the landscape, a new housing estate and breaches of national and Aberdeenshire policies. This website is an attempt to balance the Trump view - but with honest facts, not with  lies and half truths.
