It’s because he lost a court case over a wind farm off the coast of his club at Aberdeen, and TrumpOrg had to pay upwards of a quarter million pounds. He doesn’t give a shit about eagles and whales, but I guess that goes without saying.

Three of them washing ashore… “They came up to me, tears in their eyes they said ‘Sir…’ grown whales, never cried before they said ‘Sir, these windmills in my mind, they are driving us loco…’”

Everything is personal, and he never forgets a grudge.

From Salina KS to Denver CO, a nearly unbroken line of windmills along I-70, sometimes several deep, sometimes way off at the horizon. Does he want to take them all down, like Reagan taking the solar panels off the White House?

Whoa! You just gave me a childhood flashback. Now I’ve got an earworm!
And now I’ve shared it!

Of course the root of this is, “what’s in it for me.” As always.

I just lol’d when he said he saw three just this past week. Thanks for this.
“If the wind doesn’t blow, you can forget about television for that night.”

Just to add to what you said… part of that was covered in this great doc from 2011:

This all stems from a bad golfing experience he had as a child, doesn’t it? He never got over that windmill messing up his shot.

Ah, the version without the Lindsey Graham beer-goggles.
Thanks a lot. Now I have to wash my eyeballs with bleach.

I do appreciate Mika’s correction regarding terminology. Trump may hate windmills, but what he can’t shut up about are wind turbines. Big difference.

Ugh. I cannot stand the odd speaking cadence of Cheetolini, even if it’s just a short-burst montage clip. Kudos to those here that watched it & to whomever had to suffer at MSNBC to compile that clip, but I just can’t.

There’s a proposed windfarm near where I live. A large set of cities also near it are using a bunch of fear inducing things like this. It’ll kill the birds, it’ll make a bunch of dust, it’ll cause light pollution. It’s planned on land leased from farmer’s, typically land unsuitable for farming. But the other supposed drawback is it’s taking away farmland. Meanwhile these cities are partly built on former farmland.
