Now, far from home, Mr. Trump is a loser once more, if only because a man he had cruelly and publicly bullied has emerged as a surprise winner.
A few days ago, a fellow named Michael Forbes was designated Scotsman of the year — “Top Scot,” to be precise — in a popular contest sponsored by the Glenfiddich whiskey company and The Scotsman, a leading newspaper in Scotland.
He was voted that by the general public because he refused to sell his home and small farm so Trump could build a golf course.
