Trump is 'three times a loser' says ex Scottish leader Salmond (Reuters)

LONDON (Reuters) - Former Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond called Donald Trump "three times a loser" on Wednesday after Britain's Supreme Court threw out the billionaire's bid to stop an offshore wind farm being built near his Scottish golf resort.

Salmond made his comment on Twitter and added in a statement: "These proceedings have been dragged out for years through three successive court judgments by Donald Trump as he tried to stop an offshore Aberdeen wind turbine ..."

"In doing so he has at best postponed, and at worst jeopardized, a vital 200 million pound ($300 million) boost for the economy of the North East of Scotland.
