In Scotland, Trump Built a Wall. Then He Sent Residents the Bill - K. Bennhold
President-elect Donald J. Trump has already built a wall — not on the
border with Mexico, but on the border of his exclusive golf course in
northeastern Scotland, blocking the sea view of local residents who
refused to sell their homes.
And then he sent them the bill.
David and Moira Milne had already been threatened with legal action by Mr. Trump’s lawyers, who claimed a corner of their garage belonged to him, when they came home from work one day to find his staff building a fence around their garden. Two rows of grown trees went up next, blocking the view. Their water and electricity lines were temporarily cut. And then a bill for about $3,500 arrived in the mail, which, Mr. Milne said, went straight into the trash.

But could the unthinkable happen? Could a man who's promised to build a wall along the Mexican border, who has disparaged an entire religion and who uses childish insults against his political insults really win the election?
Could a man who tweets Thomas the Tank Engine memes really become president of the most powerful country on Earth?
Here are a few reasons why he might:
1. It's the economy, stupid
The phrase coined by Bill Clinton's 1992 election strategist is now equally important for his wife. As Politico reports, Hillary will be hoping for a strong economy in the months leading up to the election to convince floating voters that "Donald Trump’s version of a crippled America in rapid decline doesn’t really exist".
Sadly for her, a report this week showed that the economy had grown by a modest 1.2 per cent in the second quarter of the year - falling well short of the 2.6 per cent estimated on Wall Street.
It won't be so easy to make a case for continued Democrat control of the White House when the economy looks like this:
