Speaking to journalists at Prestwick, Trump said European countries need to "get your act together" on migration, and "stop the windmills", referring to wind farms.

He said: "I say two things to Europe: Stop the windmills. You're ruining your countries. I really mean it, it's so sad.

"You fly over and you see these windmills all over the place, ruining your beautiful fields and valleys and killing your birds, and if they're stuck in the ocean, ruining your oceans.

"Stop the windmills, and also, I mean, there's a couple of things I could say, but on immigration, you'd better get your act together or you're not going to have Europe anymore."

In 2019, his company Trump International lost a long-running court battle to stop a major wind power development being built in the North Sea off Aberdeen. ...................

And other constructive comments, I'm sure.

The Scots know a pile of overripe haggis when they see it.

tried to return to Germany they kicked him out for not serving in the German Army in
WW I. Prime Minster Trudeau had some fun @ Krasnov’s expense by giving him a
large framed photo of his Grandfather’s cat house telling him in front of the press
that this was his Grandfather’s Hotel and Restaurant. Trump took the bait and said
something like, “It must have been a classy business.”

I thought that the biggest embarrassment we would ever inflict upon ourselves would be Dan Quayle.

I wasn’t even close.

Eventually, Europe is going to ask for some help in getting rid of a problem they (Russia), set into motion. Alexander II was good buds with Napoleon, until he found him expendible. And so was Stalin with Hitler, of course, everyone knew it was just a question who shiv's who first. And that still isn't an indication of who will win.

Buildings. I used to work in a 10-story building in downtown Oklahoma City. At least 2 or 3 times per week a bird would just fly right into it. Gotta wonder how many birds Felon47’s buildings have killed. He’s obviously such a bird lover. 🙄

The whole point is to stop American immigration. Shouldn't he be happy other countries are taking in migrants?

Oh wait...brown people need not seek better lives. Cruelty was always the point.
