Donald Trump has threatened to pull £700 million worth of investment from Scotland if MPs ban him from entering the country but locals say investment and job creation have already failed to live up to promises he made almost a decade ago.
The Republican Presidential candidate’s much-hyped Aberdeenshire golf course has been a loss-maker since it opened in 2012. He has also made similar threats of pulling investment after losing fights against local residents and failing to block plans for a local wind farm.
Many Scots have backed a petition to ban the Republican frontrunner from his mother’s homeland.

Yes, Monday’s debate in the British Parliament over whether to ban Donald Trump from the United Kingdom was more spectacle than anything else. Few Britons had any expectation that the three-hour hearing, driven by a citizen petition nearly 600,000-signatures strong, would result in tangible action against the businessman-turned-presidential candidate.
The right-wing business tycoons behind Alex Salmond's independence campaign [...] Similar complaints were made when Salmond rode roughshod over the wishes of local residents and planners to "call in" the decision to approve Donald Trump's golf complex plan on the Aberdeenshire coast. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=106454780
