Donald Trump has landed in Scotland, but instead of sticking to golf, the president took a moment to revive one of his strangest long-standing obsessions: windmills. Speaking to reporters shortly after arriving at his luxury golf resort, Trump wasted no time lashing out at renewable energy initiatives, once again painting wind turbines as the ultimate enemy of modern civilization.
“Well, I say two things to Europe,” Donald Trump declared. “Stop the windmills. You’re ruining your countries. I really mean it. It’s so sad. You fly over and you see these windmills all over the place, ruining your beautiful fields and valleys and killing your birds. And if they’re stuck in the ocean, ruining your oceans, stop the windmills.” He didn’t stop there, teasing that there were “a couple of things” he could say to Europe, though he declined to elaborate further.
Critics were quick to point out that Trump’s decades-long vendetta against wind energy appears to have deep personal roots. In fact, much of his animosity dates back to Scotland’s decision to place wind turbines near his prized golf course, something he’s openly resented since the early 2010s. But this time around, Donald Trump’s anti-wind crusade has resurfaced in a dramatically different political climate, one where many online users aren’t pulling any punches.
Trump Touches Down in Scotland, Slams Windmills
Reddit exploded with commentary, mocking the president’s fixation. “He’s been at this for decades now,” one user wrote. “His hatred of windmills stems from Scotland putting them near his golf course in Scotland. You know what else he’s been at for decades? Diddling kids.” Another added, “Release the Epstein files and then tell us more, Donnie. Also, Trump is a r-pist and a convicted felon.”
The avalanche of backlash didn’t stop there. “Jesus Christ. It’s gonna be a long f-cking time before anyone in Europe takes us seriously again,” one commenter vented, while another quipped, “He’s the only guy who has inanimate objects as enemies.” “The new South Park cant be here fast enough,” one user wrote, following the latest episode of South Park, which has sparked chaos inside the White House after the show mocked Donald Trump in a surreal segment involving the former president crawling into bed with Satan.
