This is not 'missing the point', but merely pointing out a well known FACT! Donald Trumps proposal is purely business. Nothing more or less! He has laid down a proposal in front of everyone! Hidden nothing! Clearly it will bring jobs and also a bit of prosperity to some, whom never thought that this chance would ever come their way in their life-time! He is bringing in a massive project, which will have to be absolutely flawless! No cutting corners or shoddy workmanship. He will be under close scrutiny at every moment. And a lot of peoples lives will be changed for the better. Whats the problem? You know there is a passage in the Bible that says, "No prophet is welcome in his own town!" I know what it means! I have spent my life travelling around the world. I have lived almost 50 years in China. I am an Aiberdonian! Trump is from Scottish roots as well! All my life I have been a walking advertisement for Scotland, and happily and conscientiously invited many travellers to visit my hame toon Aiberdeen! But like Trump, I got the same face at the door, when I came back after 50 years. Why don't you go back to China! Whatta laugh! Remember the prophet? Unlike Trump, I am a real Aiberdonian, I jist smile't at the ba'heeds an' greetin' faces. And none of them had ever swung a golf club in their lives! No, I'm doing fine, 75 and still working and aye rinnin' for the bus! Back in China, I will remember to renew my membership of the St Andrews Society in HongKong! Happy New Year ...that's my name in Chinese (Hamish)

This is and always has been a nightmare proposal for the North of Aberdeenshire. The North East Region is a neglected corner of Scotland and as a result is less trampled and less subject to the grotesqueries of the modern day. Wild land in danger must be fought over! Yes investment, yes jobs, jobs in conservation!

I am for the development being only 20 miles away in peterhead I think its a great idea not only will it mean jobs for all the locals it will bring well need money in to the north east of Scotland coming from a fishing town that once had a thriving economy and plenty of jobs and now there's nothing left but empty shops and an empty harbour it will only be a good thing and I wish Mr Trump all the best and I speak for many in my town

I am against this project as it is just one too many which destroys our environment just for the sake of money. We are a rich state and should have the forsight to appreciate what little is left of our natural environment. (Obviously I am in England not DR Congo, but there was no alternative).
