 Trump Tees Off in the Scottish LegislaturePosted on Apr 26, 2012
Donald Trump appeared before a committee of the Scottish parliament Wednesday to demand that the government halt plans to build an offshore wind farm he says will spoil the view at his exclusive new $1.2 billion golf resort, claiming the turbines will harm tourism and ruin the environment. Trump has his supporters and detractors in the dispute. One astute commenter noted: “Donald Trump would know, he’s an expert at ruining the environment.” Scotland’s tourism agency said its research shows that 83 percent of visitors will not be put off by turbines. —ARK

A bloviating buffoon. I myself could’ve be a
Report thisbillionaire if only my family had been obscenely rich
and underwrote and bankrolled my forays into the
Manhattan real estate market. I could then flaunt my
superiority over you and the rest of you awful riff-
raff; don’t think I wouldn’t either.

They should put The Donald in front of these wind turbines.I’m sure that mouth would generate enough wind to power half of Scotland.

“They are ugly, they are noisy and they are dangerous.”
He is describing himself.

He’s actually afraid of the wind generated from the turbines blowing his “flip-do” to the other side.
