Trump Rages About Windmills and Whales, Claims He Sent Aid to Gaza But No One Said 'Thank You'

Donald Trump turned a press availability in Scotland into a long list of grudges against windmills, Democrats, and Gaza.

Donald Trump turned a press availability in Scotland that was supposed to be focused on a trade deal with the European Union into a long list of his personal grudges against windmills, the Jeffrey Epstein case, Democrats, and Gaza.

Appearing alongside E.U. President Ursula von der Leyen, Trump said the U.S. and E.U. have a “good chance” of reaching a trade deal. But he also addressed a wide range of topics, ranting so much that one reporter asked “why” he was in a “bad mood.”

“Can I ask why you’re in a bad mood? Was it a bad morning of golf?” the reporter asked.

“No,” Trump said. “The golf was beautiful.”

But while playing his round of golf at his Turnberry course (during which it appears he may have cheated), Trump caught sight of windmills he has long hated, having fought and lost a battle against their installation in the waters off his Scotland course. That could explain why he went on an extended anti-windmill rant today.

“Today, I’m playing the best course I think in the world, Turnberry,” he said. “Even though I own it, it’s probably the best course in the world. And I look over the horizon and I see nine windmills at the end of the 18th [hole]. I say, isn’t that a shame?”
