EVEN after suffering defeat in his first battle, (click here) Michael Forbes is adamant he will never allow himself to be Trumped.

The day after Donald Trump's vast 1 billion golf resort overcame its first obstacle, receiving planning permission from the local planning committee, Mr Forbes was unrepentant.
"Nothing's changed," he insisted. "I've said from the start that I'd never sell, and Mr Trump knows that."
