Donald Trump and His Hair Oppose Offshore Wind Farm, Saying It Ruins View from his Golf Course

[kpete]

Donald Trump has pledged to use “any legal means” to block the building of an offshore windfarm near his championship golf course in Aberdeenshire, claiming the development would spoil his view.

The proposed windfarm in Aberdeen Bay, about 1.5 miles from the golf resort, would install the next generation of offshore wind turbine technology.

Donald Trump, a man for whom the term ‘bad hair day’ was coined, is seeking revenge on the wind. The UK Guardian piece http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/aug/05/donald-trump-legal-fight-windfarm — “Donald Trump pledges ‘any legal means’ fight against windfarm: US tycoon saying proposed offshire turbines will ‘compromise’ golf resort – and ruin his sea view” — uses a classic dry British with to expose Trump’s hypocrisy, starting with its photo and caption:

4. Well I agree nobody wants to see what happens to the Donald's hair near a wind farm.

But the easiest solution would be a $30 hair clipper.

5. And he's a real estate guy?

Any competent real estate person knows to tell any prospective buyer that views can change, and probably will if someone else owns adjoining property. Trumps knows it, but didn't figure on off-shore development. Ooops! He can't win this one. He might be able to buy them out, but I doubt they'll bite.

Brilliant move by someone! Wonder where the next Trump venture will be?
