Trump's golf trip to Scotland reopens old wounds for some of his neighbors

BALMEDIE, Scotland − Long before talk of hush-money payments, election subversion or mishandling classified documents, before his executive orders were the subject of U.S. Supreme Court challenges, before he was the 45th and then the 47th president: on a wild and windswept stretch of beach in northeast Scotland, Donald Trump the businessman was accused of being a bad neighbor. "This place will never, ever belong to Trump," Michael Forbes, 73, a retired quarry worker and salmon fisherman, said this week as he took a break from fixing a roof on his farm near Aberdeen. The land he owns is surrounded, though disguised in places by trees and hedges, by a golf resort owned by Trump's family business in Scotland, Trump International Scotland. For nearly 20 years, Forbes and several other families who live in Balmedie have resisted what they describe as bullying efforts by Trump to buy their land. (He has denied the allegations.) They and others also say he's failed to deliver on his promises to bring thousands of jobs to the area. Those old wounds are being reopened as Trump returns to Scotland for a four-day visit beginning July 25. It's the country where his mother was born. He appears to have great affection for it. Trump is visiting his golf resorts at Turnberry, on the west coast about 50 miles from Glasgow, and at Balmedie, where Forbes' 23 acres of jumbled, tractor-strewn land, which he shares with roaming chickens and three Highland cows, abut Trump's glossy and manicured golf resort. On July 28, Trump will briefly meet in Balmedie with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to "refine" a recent U.S.-U.K. trade deal, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. Golf, a little diplomacy: Trump heads to Scotland In Scotland, where estimates from the National Library of Scotland suggest that as many as 34 out of the 45 American presidents have Scottish ancestry, opinions hew toward the he's-ill-suited-for-the-job, according to surveys. "Trump? He just doesn't know how to treat people," said Forbes, who refuses to sell. What Trump's teed up in Scotland Part of the Balmedie community's grievances relate to Trump's failure to deliver on his promises. According to planning documents, public accounts and his own statements, Trump promised, beginning in 2006, to inject $1.5 billion into his golf project six miles north of Aberdeen. He has spent about $120 million. Approval for the development, he vowed, came with more than 1,000 permanent jobs and 5,000 construction gigs attached. Instead, there were 84, meaning fewer than the 100 jobs that already existed when the land he bought was a shooting range. Instead of a 450-room luxury hotel and hundreds of homes that Trump pledged to build for the broader community, there is a 19-room boutique hotel and a small clubhouse with a restaurant and shop that sells Trump-branded whisky, leather hip flasks and golf paraphernalia. Financial filings show that his course on the Menie Estate in Balmedie lost $1.9 million in 2023 − its 11th consecutive financial loss since he acquired the 1,400-acre grounds in 2006. Residents who live and work near the course say that most days, even in the height of summer, the fairway appears to be less than half full. Representatives for Trump International say the plan all along has been to gradually phase in the development at Balmedie and that it is not realistic or fair to expect everything to be built overnight. There's also support for Trump from some residents who live nearby, and in the wider Aberdeen business community. One Balmedie resident who lives in the shadow of Trump's course said that before Trump the area was nothing but featureless sand dunes and that his development, carved between those dunes, made the entire landscape look more attractive. Fergus Mutch, a policy advisor for the Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce, said Trump's golf resort has become a "key bit of the tourism offer" that attracts "significant spenders" to a region gripped by economic turmoil, steep job cuts and a prolonged downturn in its North Sea oil and gas industry. Trump in Scotland: Liked or loathed? Still, recent surveys show that 70% of Scots hold an unfavorable opinion of Trump. Despite his familial ties and deepening investments in Scotland, Trump is more unpopular among Scots than with the British public overall, according to an Ipsos survey from March. It shows 57% of people in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland don't view Trump positively. King Charles invites Trump: American president snags another UK state visit While in Balmedie this time, Trump will open a new 18-hole golf course on his property dedicated to his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who was a native of Lewis, in Scotland's Western Isles. He is likely to be met with a wave of protests around the resort, as well as the one in Turnberry. The Stop Trump Coalition, a group of campaigners who oppose most of Trump's domestic and foreign policies and the way he conducts his private and business affairs, is organizing a protest in Aberdeen and outside the U.S. consulate in Edinburgh. During Trump's initial visit to Scotland as president, in his first term, thousands of protesters sought to disrupt his visit, lining key routes and booing him. One protester even flew a powered paraglider into the restricted airspace over his Turnberry resort that bore a banner that read, "Trump: well below par #resist." 'Terrific guy': The Trump-Epstein party boy friendship lasted a decade, ended badly Trump's course in Turnberry has triggered less uproar than his Balmedie one because locals say that he's invested millions of dollars to restore the glamour of its 101-year-old hotel and three golf courses after he bought the site in 2014. Trump versus the families Three families still live directly on or adjacent to Trump's Balmedie golf resort. They say that long before the world had any clue about what type of president a billionaire New York real estate mogul and reality-TV star would become, they had a pretty good idea. Forbes is one of them. He said that shortly after Trump first tried to persuade him and his late wife to sell him their farm, workers he hired deliberately sabotaged an underground water pipe that left the Forbes – and his mother, then in her 90s, lived in her own nearby house – without clean drinking water for five years. Trump International declined to provide a fresh comment on those allegations, but a spokesperson previously told USA TODAY it "vigorously refutes" them. It said that when workers unintentionally disrupted a pipe that ran into an "antiquated" makeshift "well" jointly owned by the Forbeses on Trump's land, it was repaired immediately. Trump has previously called Forbes a "disgrace" who "lives like a pig." 'I don't have a big enough flagpole' David Milne, 61, another of Trump's seething Balmedie neighbors, lives in a converted coast guard station with views overlooking Trump's course and of the dunes and the North Sea beyond. In 2009, Trump offered him and his wife about $260,000 for his house and its one-fifth acre of land, Milne said. Trump was caught on camera saying he wanted to remove it because it was "ugly." Trump, he said, "threw in some jewelry," a golf club membership (Milne doesn't play), use of a spa (not yet built) and the right to buy, at cost, a house in a related development (not yet constructed). Milne valued the offer at about half the market rate. When Milne refused that offer, he said that landscapers working for Trump partially blocked the views from his house by planting a row of trees and sent Milne a $3,500 bill for a fence they'd built around his garden. Milne refused to pay. Over the years, Milne has pushed back. He flew a Mexican flag at his house for most of 2016, after Trump vowed to build a wall on the southern American border and make Mexico pay for it. Milne, a health and safety consultant in the energy industry, has hosted scores of journalists and TV crews at his home, where he has patiently explained the pros and cons − mostly cons, in his view, notwithstanding his own personal stake in the matter − of Trump's development for the local area. Milne said that because of his public feud with Trump, he's a little worried a freelance MAGA supporter could target him or his home. He has asked police to provide protection for him and his wife at his home while Trump is in the area. He also said he won't be flying any flags this time, apart from the Saltire, Scotland's national flag. "I don't have a big enough flagpole. I would need one from Mexico, Canada, Palestine. I would need Greenland, Denmark − you name it," he said, running through some of the places toward which Trump has adopted what critics view as aggressive and adversarial policies. Dunes of great natural importance Martin Ford was the local Aberdeen government official who originally oversaw Trump's planning application to build the Balmedie resort in 2006. He was part of a planning committee that rejected it over environmental concerns because the course would be built between sand dunes that were designated what the UK calls a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to the way they shift over time. The Scottish government swiftly overturned that ruling on the grounds that Trump's investment in the area would bring a much-needed economic boost. Neil Hobday, who was the project director for Trump's course in Balmedie, last year told the BBC he was "hoodwinked" by Trump over his claim that he would spend more than a billion dollars on it. Hobday said he felt "ashamed that I fell for it and Scotland fell for it. We all fell for it." The dunes lost their special status in 2020, according to Nature Scot, the agency that oversees such designations. It concluded that their special features had been "partially destroyed" by Trump's resort. Trump International disputes that finding, saying the issue became "highly politicized." For years, Trump also fought to block the installation of a wind farm off his resort's coast. He lost that fight. The first one was built in 2018. There are now 11 turbines. Ford has since retired but stands by his belief that allowing approval for the Trump resort was a mistake. "I feel cheated out of a very important natural habitat, which we said we would protect and we haven't," he said. "Trump came here and made a lot of promises that haven't materialized. In return, he was allowed to effectively destroy a nature site of great conservation value. It's not the proper behavior of a decent person." Forbes, the former quarry worker and fisherman, said he viewed Trump in similar terms. He said that Trump "will never ever get his hands on his farm." He said that wasn't just idle talk. He said he's put his land in a trust that specified that when he dies, it can't be sold for at least 125 years.

Samsung Makes New 5 Year Trade-In Offer To Galaxy Z Fold 7 Buyers

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 can be bought through Samsung's new trade-in scheme. Samsung Samsung wants to capitalize on its trade-in pricing supremacy with a standalone trade-in program that isn't directly linked to buying a new phone. But how do these static valuations compare to Samsung's recent deals? The new U.K.-based scheme is fairly straightforward. If you want to trade in your phone (it will only accept Galaxy S and Galaxy Z models at this time) without buying a new handset, you can do it through this portal. Samsung will then gift you store credit that lasts for up to five years and be used to buy anything Samsung sells. Forbes Samsung Makes $963 Offer To Galaxy Z Fold 7 Buyers By Janhoi McGregor There is also an option to trade-in and instantly buy a new device. Samsung will accept more brands through this route, including Xiaomi, Realme, Oppo, Sony, and other devices it doesn't normally accept. Typically, when trading-in to buy a new phone, Samsung will group any handsets not made by Apple, Google, or itself under a single 'any other Android' category, which comes with a single price, so this is a clear change of strategy. While we're on price, Samsung's valuations fall short of previous deals if you're swapping in a Samsung phone. The news is much better for Apple handsets, though. More on that shortly. For now, here's a selection of what the new trade-in scheme is offering for 512GB used phones. Forbes A New Samsung Galaxy S26 Design Upgrade Makes Perfect Sense By Janhoi McGregor Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 - £665 ($893.49) (up to £735 for the 1TB model) Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra - £453 ($608.65) Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 - £402 ($540.13) Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra - £340 ($456.82) Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra - £216 ($290.22) Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra - £181 ($243.19) Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max - £615 ($826.31) Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max - £455 ($611.34) Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max - £335 ($450.11) Google Pixel Fold - £290 ($389.64) Google Pixel 8 Pro - £256 ($343.96) Pixel 7 Pro - £110 ($147.80) The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 smartphone is displayed at a Samsung store in Seoul on July 10, 2025. ... More Samsung unveiled on July 9, the new generation of its foldable smartphone, the Z Fold7, dramatically slimmed down in an attempt to jumpstart this still-niche market. (Photo by Jung Yeon-je / AFP) (Photo by JUNG YEON-JE/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images In a promotion last month, Samsung U.K. suddenly raised trade-in prices that competed with Samsung U.S. valuations. For the unaware, U.K. and European trade-in pricing has historically been poor. Instead, the Korean company prefers to bundle free hardware in its British promotions, like a free tablet, earbuds, or a chromebook. That changed in June with an offer that raised trade-in prices to the highest I have ever seen them on this side of the pond. Here's a selection of those prices up against Samsung's new trade-in scheme. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra June price: £581 ($784.06), new scheme price: £453 ($608.65) Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra June price: £449 ($449.39), new scheme price: £340 ($456.82) Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max, June price: £230 ($310.39), new scheme price: £335 ($450.11) Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, June price: £500 ($674.75), new scheme price: £615 ($826.31) As you can see, the new scheme won't pay as much for some Samsung handsets, but it will pay more (than the last major promotion) for Apple phones. The new scheme's pricing also appears to be based on the current pre-order deal for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which makes me wonder if Samsung's valuations—for this scheme—will change based on whatever offer the company is running that day. If they broadly stay as they are, this is a solid good option for people looking to lock in a decent trade-in price to use later (as store credit). That's important because these valuations do change as the phones age and lose software support, which was the case with the Galaxy S20 Ultra earlier this year. But always check if Samsung is running a promotion on its site, or the Samsung Shop app, because there's a decent chance you will find a better price for your used phone.

The Founder Of Shake Shack Is Now A Billionaire

for Airbnb D anny Meyer made his name opening up a string of successful upscale restaurants in Manhattan. First came Union Square Cafe in 1985 when he was just 27. That was followed by Gramercy Tavern and Eleven Madison Park. These restaurants made him famous, but it was a hot dog stand he opened in 2001 to raise funds for a public park that led to Shake Shack, Meyer's super successful twist on hamburgers and frozen custards. Now with 585 locations and $1.3 billion in revenue, Shake Shack is a fast food giant Meyer is the latest restaurant billionaire. Forbes estimates the 67-year old St Louis native's net worth is at least $1 billion, thanks mainly to Shake Shack's soaring stock price. The chain's shares are trading near record highs, up 73% over the past year, due to strong financial performance and an aggressive expansion strategy. Meyer, who did not respond to a request for comment on Forbes ' estimates, owns around 3.5 million shares, currently worth about half a billion dollars. He's got hundreds of millions more from selling down his stake in Shake Shack over the past decade. He also still owns his collection of restaurants under Union Square Hospitality Group, in addition to a wide investment portfolio filled with winners like Goldbelly and coffee chain Joe. Meyer joins a growing list of American billionaires who made their fortunes in fast food, including Jersey Mike's Peter Cancro, Panda Express' Andrew and Peggy Cherng, and, recently, Chipotle founder Steve Ells. Like Ells, Meyer got his start in fine dining before going global in fast food. The son of a consultant for Pan American airlines, he grew up enjoying global cuisine thanks to $44 roundtrip plane tickets handwritten by his father. 'Throughout my college years I could not afford not to fly…to Italy for any long weekend,' he writes in his book Setting the Table . After studying political science at Trinity College, he planned to go to law school. The night before his scheduled LSAT exam, Meyer, who had moved to New York City after college, went out for dinner with his uncle Elio on the Upper East Side. He wasn't feeling too enthusiastic about his future career, and Elio noticed his gloomy mood, Meyer recalled in an interview with Forbes last Spring. 'Why on earth would you pursue something you're not interested in doing?' his uncle asked. Meyer realized he had no idea what he truly wanted to do. Luckily, his uncle did: 'All I've ever heard you talk about your entire life has been restaurants and food,' he told him, 'Open a restaurant, for God's sake.' In 1985, at the age of 27, Meyer opened his first business: Union Square Cafe, a modern American restaurant which blends upscale dining with unpretentious warmth and hospitality. The cafe quickly became a staple of Manhattan dining and is still open today. Despite his first restaurant's success, Meyer did not replicate the concept into additional locations as he would later do with Shake Shack. Instead, he expanded his culinary portfolio with a series of diversified restaurant offerings: In 1994, he opened Gramercy Tavern, a dimly-lit spot with a more rustic aesthetic that quickly earned him his first Michelin star. Then came Eleven Madison Park in the late nineties, which marked a further push into high-end dining and earned three Michelin stars and global recognition. By the early 2000s, Meyer had a growing portfolio of six renowned restaurants spread out across New York City. He certainly didn't need to open a hot dog cart in the middle of a public square to stay afloat. But that's exactly what he did. Madison Square Park wasn't as safe in 2001 as it is today, and the city had asked Meyer for help keeping it busy. 'The goal was to raise money for the park…and to provide a reason for people to use [it] from morning till night,' he told Forbes last year. But the cart, whose profits were being in part donated to Madison Square Park Conservancy, quickly grew popular: 'I wanted to see if we could infuse a hot dog cart with hospitality…and we had lines around the corner,' Meyer told Wharton Professor Adam Grant in an interview. Still, he waited three years to convert the cart into a permanent kiosk, which he named Shake Shack, and another five before opening a second location on the Upper West Side. 'Ironically, the lines only got longer,' he told Forbes last Spring. 'That's when we began to plan our third and fourth.' From there, Shake Shack quickly became a beloved NYC haunt. Meyer had grown it to 66 locations in over 16 cities by the time he took it public on the New York Stock Exchange in 2015. Today, Shake Shack owns and operates about 380 stores within the United States, and has an additional 210 global locations under a franchise model spread across more than 15 countries. Last year, the chain did $1.3 billion in revenue, a 15% increase from 2023. Shack Shack has plans to expand to 1,500 company-operated stores in the long term. Meyer owned more than 20% of the company at the time of the IPO, but has whittled his stake down to about 4% today through regular stock sales, presumably to diversify his portfolio. He positioned Shake Shack as a "fine-casual" chain with more premium burgers than its competitors. In addition, Meyer has invested in a diversified portfolio of hospitality businesses through Enlightened Hospitality Investments, a strategic growth equity fund affiliated with Union Square Hospitality Group. He was an early investor in New York City coffee chain Joe, which today operates 23 locations, and reservation app Resy, which was acquired by American Express in 2019. In 2022, he transitioned from CEO to executive chairman of Union Square Hospitality Group, and is still active in its management. He continues to serve as Shake Shack's chairman, a position he's held since 2010. 'All my learning came from trattorias and bistros. What I loved more than anything was a sense of place…that made a big impact on me,' Meyer explained in a 2015 TED talk. As he told Forbes last year, 'It was never a dream to have more than one [Shake Shack].'
