Donald Trump has a Tantrum over Scotland's Offshore Wind Farms
Donald Trump has once again verbally attacked Scotland; this time over its renewable energy plans to build offshore wind farms. He wrote an angry letter to first minister Alex Salmond about the proposed plans to develop an offshore wind farm near the site of his luxury golf resort in Aberdeenshire, threatening to start an international campaign against the country's wind energy plans. "With the reckless installation of these monsters, you will single-handedly have done more damage to Scotland than virtually any event in Scottish history," he dramatically stated.
Obviously the Scottish are not taking much notice of the petulant businessman. Willie Rennie, the Scottish Liberal Democrat leader, said "This letter is a rather desperate attempt by a rich man who is used to getting his own way. But his latest tizzy is embarrassing. Instead of the world laughing at Scotland, Scotland is laughing at Mr Trump."
Niall Stuart, chief executive of Scottish Renewables, asked "Who is Donald Trump to tell Scotland what is good for our economy and our environment? Offshore wind is already attracting billions of pounds of investment and supporting hundreds of jobs across Scotland."
Trump has also threatened to stop further work on his golf resort project until a decision on the wind farm has been made. However to be honest if this is intended as a threat, in as much as Scotland will lose out on tourism from his luxury resort, I don’t think it is going to be too effective. The billions that could be made from a wind farm will hold much more allure than yet another golf resort in the highlands.
Salmond said "People will be opposed for a whole variety of reasons but as we mobilise this industry, as we are established as world leaders, tens of thousands of jobs come to this country and as we re-industrialise this nation then, eventually, just about everybody will get on board, even Donald Trump."

Please take no mind of him.
It seems to me that Donald Trump is trying to SAVE the visual esthetics of Scotland (and his golf course). Simple as that. Yes, DT is a buffoon on many occasions... BUT! He is also a multi-millionaire businessman- which is more than any of us can say...
Here's my .02 Trump is in it for himself- BUT!! He doesn't want the skyline to be cluttered with 200 foot tall white towering spinning windmills. Take a ride through Eastern Washington or Texas and you'll see what I mean.. I live in WA State, and what was once pristine grasslands, wineries, and beautiful rolling scenery is now 100s of white towers making a whoosh, whoosh, whooossssshhhhhh... noisy!! AND- the crosswinds created by this? My motorcycle was off the road with 70mph sidewinds! Unreal.
Got your back, DT....
Except, I suggest him to think.
Birtha issue is an another example.
Please revoke his visa not only for the U.K, but also whole rest of the world.
He can play at sand pit to play and stay there.
Pitty you Trump
Just look at its attitude to climate change, of which this Trump person's attitude to wind farms is an example, and its refusal to do anything but the absolute minimum. Unless they are Republicans, of course. For them even the minimum is too much. 'Do unto others ...?
The world is not America's to with what it likes. If Trump had any decency, he would respect Scotland's attempts to do something positive about the problem of climate change. For all his wealth, he is a guest in Scotland. Pity he doesn't have the breeding to behave accordingly. Seeing as climate change, if left to run its course without extremely drastic cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, will result in future generations facing a very bleak future. That means my descendants will be harmed along with the rest and Trump's attitude is a threat to them. That makes it personal.
Trump should not be welcomed into the U.K.. I suggest that the U.K. authorities revoke his visa and tell him to go and find another sand pit to play in, and take his money with him.
