I do feel that there is a significant difference in the P.O.Vs put forth by these two different news sites. The guardian.co.uk seems to like the idea that Trump is willing to spend so much money to build a world class golf course. The article spends much time describing the scene and how beautiful it would be. At one point the author even says that "you have to feel sorry for Donald Trump." What Trump plans on doing would, in a way, help the local economy according to Jenkins. He says that it would create between 300 to 6,000 jobs. There is no say if the local mom & pop stores would benefit. The author makes it sound like a good idea, until towards the end when he proposes that other beautiful have been wrecked by quick commercial gain. He says that in the end Scotland will probably regret the decision to allow Trump to build.
In the other corner, the first thing you see is a hilarious picture of Donald Trump's entertaining haircut. I feel like this article starts off on the wrong foot, that photo of Trump automatically seems like they are trying to mock him. ABC does argue the other side. They also bring up the point that the resort would bring much needed jobs to the area, but they support the idea instead of proposing Scotland would regret it. They even go so far as to say the Trump's development would stabilize the sand dunes and help the environment.
Overall, I think that the country of origin has much to do with the way the writers think. The UK article is against Trump building in Scotland, while the American article is for it. As for the video clip, greed is good when in the right hands.
