Trumped

For me, Donald Trump, in his latest outburst (your report 27 May), has defined more comprehensively than any dictionary could the meaning of the words crass, loudmouth, ignorant and arrogant. That such a creature should be treated with deference by any community says much about that community; nothing complimentary. Money does indeed speak louder that words: in his Lilliputian world all bow down to his Trumpship; his word, his desires are to be obeyed without question or quibble.

I fail to see how Donald Trump's proposed golf course at Menie in Aberdeenshire can ever become the greatest in the world. Out of his ten golf courses in the United States, Trump does not even have a single one in the list of America's 100 greatest golf courses 2009-10, according to Golf Digest magazine. How could he possibly pull that one out of the bag?
