Accused of "bullying" Scottish government over wind farms

The Scottish government and environmental groups accused Trump of "bullying" tactics after he offered to bankroll anti-wind farm protesters and continued his aggressive lobbying campaign. Trump's organization claimed they were "fighting for the heritage of Scotland," but critics saw it as a wealthy developer trying to dictate national energy policy to suit his own commercial interests.
