When tycoon developer Donald Trump sets out to build the world's most luxurious golf resort, he selects the birthplace for the sport as his proposed site: a seaside village in Scotland. In particular, he settles on the picturesque town of Balmedie that is nestled between ancient sand dunes and rolling greens. However, a handful of residents are not so happy about the project, concerned over the impact it will have on their beloved natural habitat. As the development threatens to bulldoze their idyllic rural community, the locals hunker down for battle against what they see as strong-arm American tactics.

UNDER normal circumstances Donald Trump would probably cherish a starring role in his own movie but I doubt the puffed-up tycoon will be queuing up with his popcorn to watch himself in You’ve Been Trumped.
