Donald Trump’s $2 billion golf course plans are facing disruption from an elderly pensioner who has launched a legal bid.

Pensioner Molly Forbes, 85, is reportedly worried that the US real estate star will force her out of her home, which is called Paradise, in his attempt to gain more land.

Forbes claims that Aberdeenshire Council have broken the law by approving his planning permission bid and has since filed a case at the Court of Session.

She said: “Why should this man be allowed to force me out? I want to see out the rest of my days here. I didn’t call it Paradise for nothing. There’s nowhere like it.”

She added: “This is not a battle I would ever have sought – but I’m not going to give up.”

The council has said that it did grant permission for the project, but it had made clear that the developer was expected to negotiate directly with landowners about buying their properties.
