Donald Trump is a clown. Sure, he was an amusing side show and warm up act for the hilarious suicide show that is today’s republican candidate race but he was at heart always a clown.
But he’s not just your clown. Oh no The Donald manages to get himself disliked everywhere and not least in Scotland the land of his mother’s birth. For up in Meenie, ( yes, yes stereotyping I know ) Aberdeenshire, Donald is pushing through a plan to build a huge number of large houses no one wants and a wee bit golf course in a county peppered with the things- and railroading the whole thing through the local planning committees in the teeth of local opposition.
Needless to say there is considerable resentment to The Donald, his rich houses, and his sodding golf course built out across the stunningly beautiful dunes which are themselves sites of scientific interest rich in wildlife. Its not even as if the homes are for local purchase either.
And it’s not as if Scotland actually needs another bloody golf course.
The video is part of the campaign against The Donald and his business practises, his bullying and general nastiness. Based on Queen’s 1975 hit Bohemian Rhapsody Hazel Cameron has pioneered the enterprise and Spitting Image’s puppeteer Francis Wright wrote the lyrics and worked the muppet that is Donald.
Coda: The video was removed from Vimeo becuase they had a complaint. I leave it to your imagination to decide whose.

Actually, I wrote the lyrics as well as waggling The Donald. Hazel was the brainchild behind the whole enterprise – we were what might be called the organs of expression!
Cheers,
Francis
Thanks for getting back to me. Happy to correct
Hey David!
That’s very much appreciated. All power to your elbow, and thanks for mentioning this in your blog. the more the merrier.
All the best,
Francis
I meant that the whole enterprise was Hazel’s brainchild. Can’t even write a sentence now – oh Donald, you have a lot to answer for!!!
