Zack Polanski Demands Community Ownership for Donald Trump's Scottish Golf Courses
Zack Polanski, co-leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, has demanded that Donald Trump's Scottish golf courses be 'kicked out' of his ownership and transferred to 'community ownership'. Polanski made the comments during a visit to Glasgow, offering support to his Scottish Green counterparts ahead of the Holyrood election.
Polanski criticised the former US president, stating he had 'started illegal and unpopular wars'. He elaborated, 'I don't think you should be able to start illegal and unpopular wars and still have golf courses. I'd love to see those golf courses brought into community ownership.'
Trump International Scotland reacted sharply to Polanski's statement. Sarah Malone, executive vice president, declared the comments 'frankly ludicrous and ignorant and made by a man who is an imbecile'. Polanski later responded on social media, implying he had 'thoughts' regarding spokespeople working for Donald Trump.
Trump owns two golf resorts in Scotland: Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire and Trump Turnberry in South Ayrshire. The Aberdeenshire property, located on the Menie Estate, features two 18-hole courses. The Old Course opened in 2012, and the New Course was inaugurated by Trump during a private visit to Scotland last summer.
