DONALD TRUMP EXPLAINS WHY HE NEEDS
THE MONEY FROM BUILDING HOUSES
TO FINANCE THE GOLF COURSES

Nobody would complain about the building of not one but two "world-class" links courses on the Menie Estate, just north of Aberdeen.
It's the amount of accommodation that is going to surround the links that most North-east folkd find hard to understand.
What happened to the old idea of just building a golf course .... without houses round it. How were Royal Aberdeen and Murcar Links, to name but two, ever built?
Donald Trump has explained why his first Scottish golf development needs to include a housing element.
"It's very important that I do something that's environmentally sensitive and that really is very expensive," he said.
"And for us to do the job the way everybody wants it, that seemed to be the minimal programme that we needed in order to pay for all of this.
"When you take care of the land the way we are going to take care of the land you need some income coming in on the other side."
So now you know.
