  1. He now tilts at every windmill. Don Quixote would be proud.

  2. I’m not buying it. Trump hates wind power because Obama liked it, and because the oil and gas industry paid he and his cronies $450 million in the last election.

  3. Genuinely thought he could bully the Scottish government after we became one of the most invested countries in renewables. Can’t even get their name right, he’s such a dumbass.

    Turbine ≠ Windmill.

  4. Hahahhahahahahahahaha, how does he continue to get away with this crap!

    “When pressed as to what evidence he had for such claims, Trump provided an answer that seemed to draw deep from his core psychology. “I am the evidence,” he said. “I am considered a world-class expert in tourism. When you ask, ‘Where is the expert and where is the evidence?’ I say: ‘I am the evidence.’””

  5. Luckily the rest of the world knows the benefit of free wind and free solar!! Asshat plays to his billionaire buddies who don’t give a 💩 about anyone’s future, especially their own families!!

  6. Remember Trump that pedophile says the noise from wind turbines causes cancer. FDJT.

  8. Putin’s plan to diminish America is going well

  9. any use of renewable energy will be considered as unfair trade practices and tariff goes up.

    Sort of like our home association in Texas, the fuckers won’t let me install panels in the front side roofs, just because.

    if still persist, i guess military actions a la Iran.

  11. Behind closed doors he is probably investing with the pay to play squeeze

  15. I have been saying this for a year or more. If he could’t get rid of the wind turbines just off the shore of his precious golf course in Scotland, he will wage absolute war on all renewable energy here in the states.

  16. Expect those turbines offshore from his golf course to generate record energy with all his bluster when he visits.

    I hope the Scots are planning to give him a very warm welcome /s

  17. Hahaha so does he expect them all to be taken down due to senility?

  19. The Scottish parliament committee missed a HUGE opportunity
    to vote during the hearings about Donalds hate for Scottish windmills. The committee should have voted:
    Trump is NOT a tourism expert.

    vs

    When pressed by the committee as to what evidence he had for such claims to be a tourism expert, Trump provided an answer that seemed to draw deep from his core psychology. “I am the evidence,” he said. “I am considered a world-class expert in tourism. When you ask, ‘Where is the expert and where is the evidence?’ I say: ‘I am the evidence.’”

    AKA Fu Donald

  20. I’m sure the Scots were shaking in their kilts – laughing their asses off. Perhaps they should flash Trump the Scottish moon or moons even.

  22. Gee. Angry Fanta Menace wants everyone making money from many drought-tolerant forms of energy generation … to stop.

    “Stop that making money. Because it’s making too much and is the cheapest new form of generation to add. Stop iiit..”

    I’m going to guess, as American who knows what gains traction and what doesn’t, that this will not go as far and fast as he imagines in his personal snuff films.

    Texas has a huge number of windmills. Also solar too. You want to explain that to TX GOP landowners?

    There’s buggy-whip-factory money in coal too … but the total number of employees needed for coal is just BELOW THE TOTAL EMPLOYED IN PUBLIC MUSEUMS.

    Yes. Not the job fair of the past.

  23. Trump thinks windmills are ugly.

    Someone should build a floating coal-powered power plant offshore from his golf course, since he prefers a view of dirty smokestacks and toxic smoke.
