Donald Trump's anti-windfarm ads banned over 'misleading' images

An ad campaign run by Donald Trump's Scottish golf resort attacking plans for a windfarm has been banned on the grounds that it was misleading.

The US billionaire has threatened to take legal action against plans approved by Scottish ministers to build offshore turbines that he claims will ruin the view from his £750m golf resort in Menie, Aberdeenshire.

Trump International Golf Club Scotland (TIGS) ran ads in Dundee's Courier and Aberdeen's Press and Journal newspapers with the line "Is this the future for Scotland?".

The ad featured wind turbines overlooking a motorway – with the caption "image taken in California" – and the line "Tourism will suffer and the beauty of your country is in jeopardy!".

Like the rest of the Anti-American right wing extremists, trump will lie, cheat, threaten and kill to get his way. The NRA and other domestic terror organizations from the right have been using the same tactics in thier fight for guns on demand for felons, pedophiles and other violent offenders. It sure seems like the NRA and the rest of the right wing Teabagger terrorists are building thier own terrorist army out of 4 million sociopaths, wife beaters and pedophiles.
And membership is free! Especially if you buy lots of guns to defend yourself from jack-booted government thugs.
NRA= "No Responsible Adults"
