Newly unearthed videos of President-elect Trump show him bullying his employees and bragging about evicting people from houses near one of his golf courses.
The four videos released Sunday by BuzzFeed News are from a December 2010 episode of the short-lived Golf Channel show “Donald Trump’s Fabulous World of Golf.” They depict Trump in visiting a golf course he owned in northern Scotland as it began construction.
The first video shows Trump berating golf course landscaper Paul O’Connor, saying he is driving his team “fucking crazy” and that if he doesn’t step up his efforts, he’ll have to “make a change.” Trump fired O’Connor later in the episode.
Another video shows Trump stuffing a wad of bills into the coat pocket of Martin Hawtree, the course’s chief architect.
“Put this in your pocket, that’s for you guys, for you and for you know, your growth,” Trump said to Hawtree. “For whoever you want, or for you, I don’t give a shit. It can also be exclusively for you, alright?”
The third video shows Trump asking if he can “get rid of” a house near the course. Even after being told doing so would “create a bit of a stir” by an adviser, Trump would not take no for an answer.
“Who cares? Who cares? You know what, who cares, it’s our property, we can do what we want,” Trump insisted. “We’re trying to build the greatest course in the world, this house is ugly.”
Trump does the same thing in the fourth video.
“That house is going to be gone because you’re putting a big dune right there,” he said. “This is fantastic.”
