Trump snorts, ‘Tilda who?’

Tilda Swinton won an Oscar two years ago for “Mi chael Clayton,” but Donald Trump says he’s never heard of her. Swinton came out this week supporting a campaign to stop Trump from building what he says will be “the world’s great est golf course” in Scotland, where four hold-outs are re fusing to relocate. “I have the support of Sir Sean Connery and this very small group of dissidents have Tilda Swinton — I’ll take that deal any day,” Trump said in a statement. As to Swinton’s comparing the government attempt to con demn the holdouts’ land to the “Highland Clearances” of the 18th and 19th centuries, when Scots were forcibly evicted to benefit rich landowners, Trump said, “Ms. Swinton’s comments trivialize a tragic event in Scottish history. It’s a shame that she would disgrace the thousands of Scots who suffered for her own personal gain and in order to get some easy publicity for herself.”
