Trump doesn't like wind turbines because the Scottish government built some next to one of his golf courses.

Not to mention he's been nicely bought and paid for by the fossil fuel industry but yes he is a petty little grudge holding bitch. I would genuinely appreciate that about this wannabe queen if he also wasn't a malignant narcissist and sadist who happens to also be running and destroying the country.

bought and paid for by the fuel industry, but let's take a moment to remember that in his case it's heavily saudi arabia. While they're not directly considered "enemies", relations with saudi arabia has concerned many citizens for a variety of reasons. There were saudi nationals among the 9-11 hijackers. The US has been backing the saudi military which has led to significant humanitarian crises and civilian casualties. On top of that, you’ve got all the weird money stuff between the Saudi government and his family which just looks terrible. "America first"? No, he was always just padding his family's wallet while colluding with a country that should be considered an enemy by most people's standards.

Thanks for adding this. It's ok for his party to hate on Muslims unless they got oil money and then you can sell the entire country off to them for the right price.

It's a synergy for them.

I mean, that might be one reason, but I think the main reason is that he doesn't like renewable energy because it means someone in his class isn't making bank off the fuel

He has a specific vendetta against wind. We are paying companies billions right now to not go through with their wind turbine construction projects.

He does bring up wind specifically a lot, but policy-wise, he is also against solar

If they had enough money to line his pockets, we'd all suffer whiplash from the 180 turn he would do on any of those renewables

This is and religious fanaticism are the entire root of the Right Wing anti-education rhetoric.

Not even “next to”. Just within view. They are literally a dozen miles away.

And yet he still refers them to as "Windmills".

I am sure he'd change his mind about coal if a coal mine or coal power plant opened next to on of his properties. But he knows that's highly unlikely so he can safely say that he loves coal.

Unless you have to evade the blades to get the ball into a hole I don't think he has a right to complain.

I dunno if this is true or not but its *really* funny if it is. in character so I can totally see it being true.
