Trump in Scotland

Shades of "Local Hero?"

Donald Trump encounters problems while attempting to develop some property in Scotland. An excerpt from Portfolio:

Trump wants to convert an untouched stretch of sand dunes on Scotland's northeast coast into a pair of 18-hole courses, a 450-bedroom hotel, 950 vacation homes, 36 golf villas, and 500 upscale homes.

The trouble is that construction could disrupt some current inhabitants of the area: seven species of endangered rare birds.

The avian snag is just the latest obstacle for Trump International Golf Links, which has already encountered opposition among the featherless occupants of the nearby village of Balmedie.

Rowan,

That would be a good test for the final stage in the selection process. Match that line with the movie and you get the job!
