Windfarm Beats Donald Trump

Down goes the Donald. A Scottish civil court has ruled against Trump in his lawsuit to prevent an experimental windfarm from being built in the proximity of his golf course in Aberdeenshire. Trump alleged a conspiracy, saying Scotland’s First Minister, Alex Salmond, had interfered in the decision to build the windfarm in Aberdeen Bay. The judge, Lord Doherty, said he “was not persuaded that the fair-minded and informed observer would conclude that there was a real possibility of bias on the part of the decision-maker; or that the decision not to have a public inquiry had been unreasonable or unlawful.” Of course, Trump plans to appeal.
