More evidence that climate deniers, Windbaggers, and Birthers are the same band of idiots. Donald Trump joins the Koch Brothers in fighting the future.
Donald Trump has pledged to use “any legal means” to block the building of an offshore windfarm near his championship golf course in Aberdeenshire, claiming the development would spoil his view.
The proposed windfarm in Aberdeen Bay, about 1.5 miles from the golf resort, would install the next generation of offshore wind turbine technology.

George Sorial, managing director of the Trump Organisation, said the windfarm would compromise the golf resort. “We are here to stay and I don’t think it’s a good idea to interfere with our investment. We are not going to support a project that compromises what we have done. We will use any legal means in our jurisdiction.”
David Milne, one of Trump’s most critical neighbours, whose house at Hermit Point is next to the golf course now under construction, said the billionaire developer was turning into a “New York clown”. Milne’s view over the dunes and the North Sea has been blocked by Trump; a 6-metre (20ft) high earth wall came first, later replaced with a row of spruce and pine trees surrounding Milne’s property.
“How can a man who has just destroyed a site of special scientific interest and is in the process of despoiling an area of outstanding natural beauty with his golf course, comment on the view? It’s laughable,” Milne said.
Trumps’ view is more important than all of the suffering that occurred during this past year’s extreme weather. The narcissism, callousness, and banality are without bounds!
Note what one resident has suffered:
* “David Milne, one of Trump’s most critical neighbours, whose house at Hermit Point is next to the golf course now under construction… Milne’s view over the dunes and the North Sea has been blocked by Trump; a 6-metre (20ft) high earth wall came first, later replaced with a row of spruce and pine trees surrounding Milne’s property.”
But Trump is bitching about some wind turbines at a golf course that he will most likely never visit after the opening ceremony.
