Donald Trump Angers Neighbours By Planting Trees

Property mogul Donald Trump has angered his neighbors in Rancho Palos Verdes, California by planting hundreds of ficus trees without permission.

The reality TV star has planted 45 3.66-metre (12-foot) tall trees and 300 1.83-metre (six-foot) tall trees without authorization at his Trump National Golf Club.

Rancho Palos Verdes councillor Doug Stern says, "I laughed out loud. Maybe I shouldn't have - it's either laugh or cry. It seems like this is a cultural trait within their organization."

However, Trump claims nobody has complained about the trees.

He says, "It was done for two purposes, beautification and safety. They're bushes - they look beautiful and everybody loves them. We have not had one complaint."
