Just weeks ago, 124,000 Australians forced a Trump Tower in Surfers Paradise to collapse – and Tate responded by lining up the next deal. A resort and golf course of this scale would require council approval and Queensland Government scrutiny over coastal and environmental impacts, which means this fight is winnable if we act now.
The Trump brand stands for division, contempt for democratic norms, and authoritarian politics – none of which belong on the Gold Coast skyline or shoreline. When...
It won’t work. Australia hates Trump. Even if someone wanted to commit political suicide by approving it, that course would be constantly vandalised to the point it becomes a national passtime.
Don’t underestimate the power of corruption. Ie, he could just tell the mayor “you can play there at free, bring any guests, free food, free hotel stays”, etc
We overwhelmingly hate him (and he listed traits he hates which encompasses most Aussies), which is why its an anomaly even the tower was considered. The whole thing doesn’t make sense at all
Mate I know lots of people that think trump is great. That he knows what he’s doing, that he gets things done and tells it like it is. My opinion of these folk has declined immensely.
So while most people with at least half a brain working do hate the fucker, there’s quite a lot that love him sadly.
Don’t think for a minute what the public thinks will wash here either. This is a pretty corrupt council and they’re all corrupt when it’s DA’s like this one.
The proper cash to this mayor, a few councillors and Jarrod Bleijie and this will happen tomorrow, with the right developer in charge.

A part of me thinks it would be funny for it to get built to see how many dirt bikes / utes would deliberately tear it up.
Put me in the roster to fertilise the greens overnight.

Not all of Australia hates Trump.
