We'll always have Donald Trump


“I just sold a house for $100 million in Palm Beach, though I don’t want to be bragging.”

Meanwhile, read about Trump's ongoing development efforts in Scotland and the one local man, Michael Forbes, who refuses to sell his property.

Mr. Trump swept in a few years ago and bought 1,400 acres here at the edge of the North Sea, eight miles from Aberdeen (Mr. Forbes’s 23-acre holding is part of the project site, on a fragile, frequently foggy, shifting sand dune). Mr. Trump pronounced it the perfect place to build two golf courses, a 450-bedroom hotel, 950 vacation homes, 500 single-family houses, a conference center and a golf academy.
