Wind farm opposed by Donald Trump approved in Scotland.

Consent for a wind farm off Aberdeen which is opposed by Donald Trump has been granted by the Scottish government, angering the US tycoon.

The £230m development consists of 11 wind turbines. Mr Trump claims they would spoil the sea views for golfers on his course at Menie.

He responded: "We will put our future plans in Aberdeen on hold, as will many others, until this ridiculous proposal is defeated."

Mr Trump said: "We will be bringing a lawsuit within the allocated period of time to stop what will definitely be the destruction of Aberdeen and Scotland itself. "This was a purely political decision.

"We will spend whatever monies are necessary to see to it that these huge and unsightly industrial wind turbines are never constructed."

He had previously threatened not to build a hotel at the resort if it went ahead.

Well, I guess The Donald could identify with that.

Will someone PLEASE give him a butch haircut?

I think the turbines are beautiful.
