I love this part. Trump's demeans Scotland like its a third world country.

A Trump Organisation spokesman said: “Today’s written judgment is no surprise – it’s impossible to have a fair hearing challenging wind farm applications in Scotland.

Donald Trump opened a golf course in Scotland.

Scotland decided to build a wind farm. The windfarm, however, was in the water overlooked by Trump's resort. This makes Trump very unhappy.

Trump decided to sue Scotland.

Today, Trump lost.

WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said:

This result is good news for Scotland and for all those interested in cutting carbon emissions and creating jobs.

Once again the courts have seen through Trump’s flimsy, misguided attempts to frustrate Scotland’s ambition to create clean power and green jobs. It’s now time for Mr Trump to stop wasting any more time and money on this case

And of course, Trump's people are planning to appeal this to the the Supreme Court of the UK and the European courts. I hope they smack him down.
