So The Donald has spent a fortune on buying land in Scotland to set up a fancy golf course only to find out the Scottish government wants to build an off shore wind farm nearby.

The Donald is not happy! He took his fight to the Scottish Parliament today.

"Scotland, if you pursue this policy of these monstrous turbines, Scotland will go broke," he said. "They are ugly, they are noisy and they are dangerous. If Scotland does this, Scotland will be in serious trouble and will lose tourism to places like Ireland, and they are laughing at us."

Trump told everyone there that wind turbines will harm the environment and ruin the tourism industry. When he was challenged to produce some hard facts to back up his claim, he responded...

"I am the evidence, I am a world class expert in tourism."

His credentials were met with a reaction that Trump is probably not used to in public venues.

The public gallery burst into laughter.

[alfredo]

4. What a prick, what a perfect example of the Republican male.

[desertkwr]

85. Republican Male

The Donald is the perfect personification of the "Republican Male", He's narcissistic, bloated and has bad hair. Perhaps he would go along with an oil refinery of that land.

[alfredo]

91. The movie "Local Hero" came to mind. Of course the Donald lacks the

Wisdom of the Bert Lancaster character.

[snooper2]

5. This is pretty useless without video

VID - E - O!

VID - E - O!

VID - E - O!

VID - E - O!

VID - E - O!

VID - E - O!

[DRoseDARs]

66. The BBC has video; via Crooks and Liars:

The laughter wasn't as boisterous and sneering as he deserves, but it's clear no one was buying his bull.

[KurtNYC]

6. "not used to [laughter] in public venues." ?! Has the writer not seen Trump's hair?

A pompous buffoon with a silver spoon.
Born on third base and thinks he hit a triple.

[LiberalFighter]

69. He is probably upset that when he plays golf there

that his wig will flop around.

[Lucy Goosey]

7. This sort of thing fills me with joy

Seriously, I am unreasonably happy about this.

[HangOnKids]

29. Me too! I just stood up from my computer and yelled "YES!"

When a shitty, sanctimonious, rich lucky sperm gets a spanking I am elated! Especially a loud mouth like ferret wig Trump.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. Too bad Scotland can't deny him a visa.

[Scurrilous]

9. He is a ridiculous man. n/t

[Angry Dragon]

10. they heard him wrong

What he really said was he was a world class expert in toupeism

[BlancheSplanchnik]

14. .....

[CanSocDem]

27. Good one!!-nt

[HangOnKids]

33. DUzy! n/t

[qb]

11. I often drive by a huge wind farm in Iowa and think they look cool.

Much nicer than smokestacks.
Donald's a doofus.

[KansDem]

47. The same thing happened to me!

Last year, I was driving west on I-70 from KC to Denver and passed a wind farm in western Kansas. I was mesmerized! The graceful rotation of the blades was surreal.

I found it relaxing (but not enough to affect my driving!). I'd even go so far as to say my blood pressure might have dropped a few points.

[dmr]

70. I think they'd be pretty cool to see, especially

knowing why they are there & what they are doing. I can imagine it can give you a really good feeling.

Poor, poor bully Donald, not getting his way & everyone just laughing at him.

[DCKit]

94. OK, but you do understand they have the exact opposite affect on rich white guys, right?

If the rest of us wore T-shirts with windmills on 'em, those fuckers'd be dropping like flies.

I think I've hit upon something here - T-shirts with slogans about everything they hate... Teh Gay, Women's Rights, Social Security, Socially Responsible Spending, Childcare (as opposed to fetuscare).....

[hughee99]

61. They tried to put a wind farm near me some time ago,

but apparently they were too close to a certain wealthy politician's house and it was blocked for years. It looks like they're going ahead with it now, though.

[eridani]

90. Love driving near the Columbia River gorge

The answer my friends is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind.

[They_Live]

12. Haha

Hilarious! I was at Walgreen's the other day and noticed a gigantic display poster for some contest sponsored by Trump (and "The Apprentice&quot and it had his gloating sourpuss and bad wig on full display. I then suddenly realized that I need to stay away from Walgreen's until they can shake their infection by evil forces.

[ProSense]

13. OP needs photos:

Trump targeted by pro-wind farm protesters
http://www.dailykos.com/comments/1086358/45858612#c11

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. OMG, photo #3 - the balloon over Trump's head -

with his "hair" sticking to it from the static electricity!

[geardaddy]

46. Boo-fucking-hoo T Rump.

Said Trump afterward, "I came here in good faith, and to help these people, and they mocked me like a goddamned puppet."

[October]

64. Really? Wow. He said "...the help these people?" omg. Idiot. /nt

[Diclotican]

15. mfcorey1

Mr Trump You are not in USA anymore - you are in Scotland... And I think Scotland will survive as a nation, and as a golf destination for top-elite regardless of your little golf course... And I suspect the golf courses in Scotland is of a quality not even Trump Inc. can compete it...

Dicloticna

[NBachers]

16. Ah, the old divide the Scotch against the Irish routine- where have we seen that before?

Boy, I bet that really made 'em wet their kilts!

[HangOnKids]

34. I am so pleased they laughed instead of booing

If they booed Donald Ferret Wig, he would play the martyr card. By laughing they just deflated this stupid spoiled gas bag.

[Jester Messiah]

17. Hah, that's the best Trump story since his public mocking at the correspondents' dinner a while back

If he's not used to being held up to public ridicule at this point then he must have memory problems.

[LynneSin]

18. Who wants to gander a guess that they specifically picked that location near Trump's place

Scotland has always been opposed to Trump building that golf course so I'm guessing the Wind Farm was their way of saying 'Please go away'

[Zambero]

19. Trump is indeed a wind expert

Being a first-class windbag.

[stlsaxman]

23. ... and his mouth always looks like an inflatable love doll.

[HangOnKids]

36. Wow That Is Creepy But So Spot On

He looks inbreed to me as well.

[W T F]

20. Trump's as much as an expert on tourism, as he is an expert on tasteful hair styling.

[groundloop]

21. I hope the good people of Scotland don't think Trump typifies all of us

People like him (and his 3 egos that follow him around) are a huge embarrassment. God I loved the look on his face when President Obama tore into him last year.

[malaise]

24. You see when ignoramuses are allowed to parade as experts at home

You expect foreigners to defer to your stupidity- who needs facts after 'the combover' has delivered his omnipotent decree.

[eppur_se_muova]

76. You may have meant "ignoramus" but I think you have improved on it ...

"ignormus" -- an enormously ignorant ignoramus -- another DU neologism.

[malaise]

81. LOL

I corrected it

[SwissTony]

25. What's this "...and they are laughing at us" business?

Is Donald in some way claiming Scottish nationality?

"I am the evidence, I am a world class expert in tourism." <--- that is just cringeworthy.

[mfcorey1]

28. Remember his favorite rant that the Chinese are laughing at us? I never believed

him.

[nobodyspecial]

78. That statement is very revealing about him

The worst threat in the world is that someone laughs at you? I think it is really funny that they then laughed -- at HIM!

[geardaddy]

39. Isn't his mother from Scotland?

[SwissTony]

49. Actually, I think you're right.

Wiki says his mother was from the Isle of Lewis.

But he's still a doowally.

[geardaddy]

57. Agreed.

I can't stand him.

[MichaelMcGuire]

72. Yes but he only started giving a shit about the country from 2006 onwards (nt)

[Botany]

26. Well played Scotland well played

BTW people can still freaking golf with wind turbines off shore ..... better than burning coal
or some other fossil fuel.

[siligut]

31. He just hates wind, and rightly so when you look at that picture of him. nt

[HangOnKids]

37. Love The White Rings Where His Goggles Were

WTF makes people go to tanning salons? He looks like Boners brother from a different snack food.

[polly7]

86. He could gain a little goodwill if he tried to fit in.

[IMG][/IMG]

(WHY do my pictures turn out so big when I've made them small and saved them that way? - frustrating/)

[Ikonoklast]

32. Another jagoff who would be a nobody if he hadn't inherited a fortune.

At times I think the Bolsheviks got some things right.

[geardaddy]

38. Awesome!

[HappyMe]

40. That's so funny.

Of course Trump doesn't like wind. His fabulous 'do blows around.

[gratuitous]

41. So, why does this mountebank get so much fawning attention in the U.S.?

Really, the only polite response to so much of T Rump's antics is derisive laughter. For some unfathomable reason, however, he's accorded the royal treatment from our popular media, instead of being shunned like the short-fingered vulgarian he is.

[JNelson6563]

42. Well said.

[October]

68. So true.

Our 'media' loves the bizarre. And Americans in general seem to be in awe of those with money -- no matter how they acquired/inherited it.

[Hugabear]

43. In Trump's defense, he has very good reason to be afraid of wind turbines

[jwirr]

44. Isn't it nice to see a legislative body that actually does things correctly. Thank you Scotland.

[craigmatic]

45. Doesn't every other project trump builds go broke?

[geardaddy]

48. And here's the video

[mac56]

50. Hoots mon

Wha's fur ye won' git by ye.

[Rex]

51. Ronald Dump is Rump Roast!

I hope it hurt his tiny feelings to be treated like common stock!

[KansDem]

52. "...I am a world class expert in tourism."

Apparently so are his sons:

It seems Donald Jr. and his brother Eric went to Africa on a hunting trip last year, and their tour company, Hunting Legends, decided recently to brag of the men’s prowess on their Web site, complete with graphic photos of the brothers and their kills. And here’s a shocker – there’s something about rich white men smiling with the carcasses of the African animals they’ve killed that a lot of people just don’t like.

Yeah, "world class"...

[HangOnKids]

55. That Gorgeous (Now Dead) Animal In The Arms Of That Thug Is An Abomination

What a fucking asshole.

[SunSeeker]

82. How is this legal? Aren't leopards protected?

This makes me sick.

[HughBeaumont]

53. When the Regressive Right spouts without the luxury of a media bubble, they deserve just this:

Derisive and dismissive laughter.

Sorry, conservaturds, but "because I say so" only works on Faux, CNN and CNBC. Everyone else will tell you to kiss their ass quick with that weak stuff, son.

[HangOnKids]

56. I'm Sure Donald Does Not Like Being Laughed At

GOOD. Fucking prick should be shamed everyday of his worthless life.

[hedgehog]

54. Let's see, either base your economy on a renewable energy source

or base it on hoping rich people will show up and spend money; what to choose, what to choose.....

[sendero]

58. Niced...

... exactly.

How many times has that little putz Trump declared bankruptcy? I can't remember but I'm pretty sure it was more than once.

[AnneD]

59. Donald has such thin skin....

I am sure that didn't go over well. Nothing pisses off petty tyrants more than laughing at them.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

60. What an asshole

[cr8tvlde]

62. Just the public gallery...not the MPs? I'm sure they managed a snicker or two.

Laughing the loudest is the land owner who took Trump's check to the bank.

[DianaForRussFeingold]

63. K&R*Video Of "The Donald" at Scottish Parliament..

Please K&R.. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002613909#post12

65. Made my day! K&R

[fascisthunter]

67. megalomaniac meat-head

[MichaelMcGuire]

71. Tourism is up 9% 2010/2011 and spending by tourists up 14%.

This along with large investments in the year 2010/2011 in renewables. Furthermore

"The research, commissioned by VisitScotland, shows:

+83 per cent of respondents in Scotland and 80 per cent of UK respondents stated their decision to holiday in the UK would not be affected by the presence of a wind farm

+80 per cent of respondents in Scotland and 81 per cent of UK respondents either disagreed with or neither agreed nor disagreed that wind farms spoil the look of the Scottish countryside

+46% of respondents said that they would be interested in visiting a visitor centre at a wind farm"

http://www.scottishrenewables.com/publications/yougov-poll-attitudes-wind-power-Scotland/

[suffragette]

73. Umm, Donald, being full of hot air and breaking wind don't make you an expert on wind turbines,

tourism or any mixture of the two.

[Auntie Bush]

74. I hate it when people refer to that conceited tweet as "The Donald."

Makes me sick to hear/read that.

[lunatica]

75. I love the Scots!

[eppur_se_muova]

77. Good on ye, gentlemen ! nt

[stlsaxman]

79. here's a report from "foreign" media not owned by Chrump-

it includes the laughter.

[Blue Owl]

80. Hey Trump, go suck a bagpipe

n/t

[SunSeeker]

83. Donald Trump IS a wind farm.

And laughter is pretty much the most appropriate response to whatever comes out of his mouth.

[Initech]

84. I am smart! I am a billionaire - I am good with people - you do not cross the Trump!

[spanone]

87. why doesn't america have the nuts to do the same?

[MrModerate]

88. At this point, Trump must have grown used to people laughing at him . . .

I mean, it happens just about every time he opens his mouth.

Or shows his hair, for that matter.

[SunSeeker]

89. Not in America

Here, he has his own reality TeeVee show and Republican presidential nominees crawl on their knees to him so they can kiss his ring.

[chknltl]

92. Bunch of copycats!

We've been laughing at that clown for years!

[SDjack]

93. Every game requires the participation of a fool.

Don, if you don't know who the fool is, it is you.
