Donald Trump's plans to build a ballroom in Ireland are being delayed by a tiny snail. The snail, which is endangered, is being used as a legal argument by a local man to block the development.

The man, described as a hermetic figure, is using the snail's presence to argue that the development would harm the local ecosystem. The snail's presence has derailed Trump's plans, according to Raw Story, AlterNet and The Daily Beast.

The Washington Post reports that the man is enjoying the fight against the development. The snail's presence has complicated Trump's plans, as the development would require permission from the Irish government, which has strict environmental protections in place.
