A 2011 documentary that got little attention in the U.S., was so explosive that Donald Trump’s lawyers tried to force the BBC to drop its broadcast.
The film, titled You’ve Been Trumped, won 10 awards from film festivals and environmental organizations, along with earning four-star reviews in the British media.
The film focuses on Trump’s $1.5 billion project to build two 18-hole golf courses, a 450-bedroom luxury hotel along with luxury apartments and golf villas on the North Sea coast of Scotland. The government supported the project and pushed aside environmental protection, all while Trump promised that it would bring in 6,000 jobs.
From the New York Times:
Once construction begins on the 1,400-acre Menie Estate, which Mr. Trump bought in 2005, the lives of the farmers and fishermen in nearby Balmedie, a town of 3,000, are disrupted.
The arrival of Mr. Trump and his overbearing ways is an affront to many residents, especially Michael Forbes, a farmer who refuses to sell his property, which Mr. Trump describes as a slum and a pigsty. The film delves into the problems encountered by Mr. Forbes and neighbors who band together to protest the development. Mr. Forbes loses his electricity and water. Enormous piles of dirt and sand are dumped near cottages, blocking their ocean views, and homeowners are taken to court in petty boundary disputes. At one point the use of “compulsory purchase orders,” the Scottish equivalent of eminent domain, to force them to sell, is threatened.
Watch the trailer for the film in the video below. The entire film can be watched here.

Trump always proves himself to be a narcissistic,inhumane,uncaring, individual. He’s a shrewd business man who has no empathy for anyone other than himself and his own enterprises, When in time he dies, he’ll not be mourned except by those to whom he owes money. The most expensive mausoleum money can buy will not erase the stench of his character.

He’s not a shrewd business man. That’s just an illusion he projects. If you see an earlier doco they made about him it’s all a con. He got credo from his father’s name and money and banks have been throwing money at him ever since. He’s actually headed up some spectacular failures. A clown with a whistle could make money with the kind of backing he gets.

If, by some chance, he is elected to office of President, it will do untold damage to all the good will of the United States. He is supported by frustrated and often uneducated people and they are not thinking of the subtleties of being a national leader. He is so used to bullying his way thru things and that will not cut it in dealing with world problems. Diplomacy is something he is not capable of doing.

He promised to invest £1 billion and create 6,000 new jobs. If you don’t count what he spent on lawyers trying to harass people off of their lands, or his court cost for having every case thrown out of the courts, he invested about £25 million and created less than 200 new jobs. In the process, he destroyed for all time the only remaining area of Scottish Coastal Dune environment, SO 2.5% of the promised investment plus 3% of the promised jobs minus the worst environmental disaster since World War 2; it can only make you wonder what 3% of “Make America Great Again” will look like in reality, and what he will destroy to establish it.

It appears Trump will soon be president.I’ve been following a chapter in the bible for decades.Though I’ve seen great events pass in this chapter such as both Iraq wars ,I’ve been more interested in the follower of the raiser of taxes..I know the next president is the vile contemptible man mentioned in Daniel 11;21 and the more I learn of Trump the more I believe he will become the next president.He is described in this chapter as being vile,arrogant,glorifies himself.I know not any others running that fits the description .He is not in succession for the throne.Says he will greatly increase the military both of which describe him.At the end of the chapter he destroys the middle east.

With every strip mall , casino, factory etc. that is built, the same situation exists. That’s very common when change is being made. You’re always going to have someone pissed off. The compensation is being omitted in this story. What this trailer showed me is that he will get the job done no matter who he pisses off. That’s really what this country desperately needs. Perhaps you should turn your anger towards the person that sold the property and whoever cleared and approved the permits. Business is business. It’s not a day in the park. Having said that, I’m not a big fan of Trump, but, ” I’m all ears.”

Donald Trump is the future king, little horn or antichrist spoken about in Daniel 11. In the place of the one true GOD, he honours THE god of fortresses, otherwise known as Babylon. She is known as the goddess of towers. Trump loves to build, especially towers. The reason he thinks the Bible is the best book in the world is because it speaks of him, not because he cares for who GOD is or what GOD has to say.
Gordon Perlin

Not to blow any horns here, but Trump is certainly a fit for the prophetic descriptions of an antichrist, of which there have been many.
It is said the final antichrist will rebuild the third Temple in Jerusalem, and declare himself God.
I don’t see how Trump could possibly resist real-estate project of such historical, yea, even biblical importance.
As for declaring himself God, is that not what every narcissist aspires to?

So somebody else has noticed this too…….
…..and isn’t it funny how no matter HOW offensive Trump gets, his popularity continues to rise.
……..His comments about Megyn Kelly would have put anyone else’s numbers in the toilet, but not the Donald…He no regard for women or for the dignity of womanhood itself (he says that breastfeeding “disgusts” him, too)….
…He doesn’t give a hoot about religion…..he doesn’t even respect our POWs – “they got caught”: Trump values winners and winning, because his only “god” is power/force, and, of course, himself…..
…but, hey, at least he’s NAMED well!
Donald sees himself as a “trump card”, and he trump-ets that “fact” all day long to anyone who will listen, and brags and blows and puffs himself up, but no matter how great he grows, he’s just a little tin-Horn:
Dan 8:9¶And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, …..
Dan 8:10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.

Agreed. and Amen. I read Leslie Bell’s comment to you and I am not aware of the evidence of the theory of which she speaks. Donald Trump is absolutely disgusting and an abomination. It is hard for me to think of a more disgusting, deceitful person in our time….Maybe the Anti Christ will be even more unbelievable than him and succeed him. I as a 25 yr. conservative Christian and recently transformed Christian Universalist cannot believe that my former brethren are supporting this horrible creature. It confirms my recent transformation in beliefs that God loves All but still has standards….and yes there is a Heaven AND a Hell and guess where “the Donald” will be going. He is vile and abhorrent. God is NOT pleased I assure you.

Trump is a television ACTOR, engaged in destroying the GOP by shoving its face it all its xenophobic, bigoted, rightwing fascist glory of its ugliness, while simultaneously allowing other GOP cretins to NOT pull their usual “nice ‘Christian’ guy” BS bait-and-switch that they pull every four years.
And for that, he is doing the PLANET a tremendous service, and we will all owe him a TREMENDOUS debt of gratitude.

The Antichrist is mistaken for Christ. Not a Trump, not an Obama, not even a Hitler.
But is believed to be Jesus Christ Himself, come in the flesh again.
Christendom since Constantine has made a conservative fake Christ out of Satan, just as Christ stated the Jews of his time made Satan their god. The Antichrist is the human form of that fake christ.
So no, the Antichrist is not your run of the mill reality TV star hateful leader of bigots. The Antichrist is supernatural. And fools 99% of all of Christendom.
That leaves almost all people and all leaders on earth right now out of the running. Thankfully.

This one is truly a lawless man though. He likened himself to Napoleon many years ago on camera. He has a religious obsession with cleanliness, appearing with his hands in white gloves on the Oprah Winfrey show years ago. This ritual cleanliness speaks to the synagogue of Satan that is politics. He has no regard for the religion of his fathers, which is Mystery Babylon, instead giving heed to his ancestral Scotland’s state church through his maternal line. He has been married many times. Finally, the trumpets sound in judgement in the Revelation, and he has “the number of his name.” He is the “little horn” and “future king” for sure.

I would be willing to consider the possibility that Donald Trump is the Antichrist, but it’s still too early to tell. He’s certainly running his campaign for the GOP nomination on all cylinders. Every time he opens his mouth, he’s good for another 10 points in the polls. He also has a dedicated and growing following. In a sane, rational world, he’d be toast already, but he continues to defy the odds. If he gets the GOP nomination, then we can start to worry. The next step is to win the presidency. THEN we can all start making Doomsday plans! But nothing is etched in stone at this point. We’ll just have to wait and see.

The antichrist comes to power as a Leader of Light and peace, just like the regular bait-and-switch GOP “compassionate” “conservative” jerks (Bush, Rubio, et al), not as the reincarnation of Hitler.
Trump won’t win a general, but he sure will win the nomination of the AmeriNazi Party. And for that, he’s done America and the planet a tremendous service refusing to allow the GOP to pull it’s usual “nice guy” bait and switch this time around.

So, what binds dictators across history and geography? What traits do they share? To begin with, let’s examine the general characteristics of psychopaths. They are usually charming, charismatic, and intelligent. They brim with self-confidence and independence, and exude sexual energy. They are also extremely self-absorbed, masterful liars, compassionless, often sadistic, and possess a boundless appetite for power. These are just a few of the character traits present in a genuine psychopath.
