    This simple:

    Trump’s battle against “windmills” began back in 2006 after he had purchased seaside land for a golf course and subsequently learned that a wind farm was being planned offshore. This annoyed him because it would disturb the view and possibly eat into profits. His attempts to prevent the construction of the wind farm turned into a feud with the Scottish government, and in Trump’s mind, converted the wind turbines into giants that needed to be attacked.

    “You know, I know windmills very much. I’ve studied it better than anybody.”

    That’s it. Old man hates windmills. Nothing else to it.

      We have them on many places here in Europe, and sometimes they are a very nice sight when traveling.

      They fit really well into a green landscape, but not so much in a concrete jungle.

      And thought just continues to show his utter lack of taste because wind turbines are beautiful. I love driving by wind farms.
