Am I bid One No Trump?

As I noted yesterday The Donald's plans to build a £1 billion hotel & golfing complex in Scotland were scuppered after Aberdeenshire council failed to give it approval. Today's Guardian quotes George Sorial, Trump's international development director as saying that The Donald was "very shocked" and angered that council had "chosen to protect a pile of sand". Mr. Sorial put forward the argument that the Trump team was "not arrogant" and then immediately disproved his thesis by saying:

"It may be incomprehensible to smaller minds, but we have always set high standards. We presented them with a plan and hoped they could open their minds, but it was too much for them." (Emphasis mine.)

There is little doubt that Mr. Sorial is working for the right man, is there?
