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."
