Windmills all over the country, destroying those gorgeous Scottish fields, Trump said, reiterating his longtime hatred.
Windmills, which dont work, uh, theyre tremendously expensive, and the best testament to that is the windmills are made in China, but China doesnt use them, Trump complained.
I am proudly telling you that were going to try and have no windmills built in the United States during my, Trump said before teetering off.
Theyre very bad environmentally, they kill the birds, theyre unsightly, they make a lot of noise, and for some reason, the environmentalists love windmills, he added.
