Donald Trump is a greedy businessman, not a politician...

He is building a luxury golf course just up the coast from me.

He opposed the building of an off-shore wind farm that would spoil the view for golfers. Of course that was not the official explanation:

Quote:
This is an extremely unfortunate verdict for the residents of Aberdeen and anyone who cares about Scotland's economic future. The [wind farm] will completely destroy the bucolic Aberdeen Bay and cast a terrible shadow upon the future of tourism for the area.

"History will judge those involved unfavourably and the outcome demonstrates the foolish, small-minded and parochial mentality which dominates the current Scottish Government's dangerous experiment with wind energy."
I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood the part where renewable-energy is a good thing. Sure will it look amazing, no. But will it ruin tourism either, no. Unless he is talking about the tourism linked to his golf course & pocket.

Plus there was a lot of criticism for him spoiling the wilderness there by building a golf course.

I say you elect this guy as US President:

If you read that article closely, you'll understand how disgusting Donald Trump is. Trying to compulsory purchase that guys land for his own profit. ****er.
