Testifies against Scottish wind farms to protect golf course view

Trump testified before the Scottish Parliament's Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee, claiming that proposed offshore wind farms would destroy Scotland's tourism industry and calling the turbines "monsters" that would ruin the view from his Menie Estate golf course. His appearance sparked protests and accusations that he was using his platform to bully the government into altering energy policy for his personal business benefit.
