The reason Trump hates windmills

Trump’s long crusade against “windmills” (turbines) also found its way into an executive order. He banned all new leases for offshore wind turbines. His hatred of these began after the Scottish government put a wind turbine near one of his golf courses 15 years ago in Aberdeen, and he complained that it ruined the view from one of the holes. He sued Scotland and it went all the way to the UK Supreme Court and Trump lost. Ever since then he has been obsessed with them.

He also claimed that Sean Connery (James Bond) spoke to members of the Scottish Parliament on his behalf to ask them to remove it, but when Connery was asked if that was true he said he had no idea what Trump was talking about.
