Donald Trump Aide Accuses Scottish Councillor Of Racism
An aide to tycoon Donald Trump has accused Scottish councillor Sam Coull of making a racist remark after he was sent a letter mocking his New Jersey accent.
Ian Johnston 03 Oct 2009
Mr Trump’s development director, George Sorial, said Mr Coull, a Peterhead councillor, had sent a letter on council-headed paper in which had written “Noo Joysee” instead of “New Jersey”.
Mr Sorial, who was born in the UK, said he was “insulted personally” and claimed it was racist.
The councillor also made the same jibe in an email sent to Mr Trump’s legal and international development associate Daniel Borbet.
The messages were sent amid a planning row over Mr Trump’s plans to build a £1 billion golf resort in Aberdeenshire.
Plans for the Menie Estate development, which include two courses, a hotel, 500 houses and 950 holiday homes, were unveiled almost three years ago.
The proposal has attracted opposition from environmentalists, with part of one course to be built within an area of sensitive sand dunes. Last month, Mr Trump successfully applied to use an extra five plots of land, which include private homes, for his development.
Mr Trump’s latest application has received dozens of objections and two homeowners have refused to sell their property.
In a letter written in response to an invitation by the Trump Organisation for Mr Coull to view plans for the site, the councillor wrote: “Only a few weeks ago, your Mr Sorial was reported in The Scotsman newspaper as describing myself and three colleagues as scoundrels.
“’Scoundrel’ may be a term of endearment in Noo Joysee and scoundrels very probably abound the streets and tower blocks there. But I have never met your Mr Sorial.

When did New Jerseyites become a race?
I’m with the Scots on this one.
Joysie is a race... wow
Does that mean that Sinatra was black?
Napoleon had his Waterloo.
Donald Trump has his Peterhead.
He exhibited every trope of blackness. Just ask that Clinton-era chick, Toni whatsername.
““I was born in the UK, I have a British passport - I’m as British as he is, and he doesn’t have any right to make fun of my accent. “
BAWWWWWWW!!!
What a whiner......
Same here. The racism thing is stupid but my real problem is with a “capitalist” thinking he can sue to get what he wants from people who don’t want to sell.
Dead race card walking ... May as well get over it.
