Trump Rails Once More Against Windmills In Bizarre Speech, Says He 'Never Understood Wind'

Trump Rails Once More Against Windmills In Bizarre Speech, Says He 'Never Understood Wind'

President Donald Trump took a break from railing against dishwashers and toilets to return to a favorite target of his: wind turbines, which he calls windmills.

Trump often falsely claims that energy can't be harnessed from the turbines when the wind isn't blowing, and that household electronics like televisions go out frequently as a result.


In a speech to the young Conservative group Turning Point USA, Trump took a shot at the renewable energy source, claiming he's never "understood wind."

Watch below.

The President said:

"I never understood wind. I know windmills very much, I have studied it better than anybody. I know it is very expensive. They are made in China and Germany mostly, very few made here, almost none, but they are manufactured, tremendous — if you are into this — tremendous fumes and gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right?"

After pointing out that the world is smaller than the universe, he repeated claims that windmill farms are a threat to the bird population, including American bald eagles.

"A windmill will kill many bald eagles. After a certain number, they make you turn the windmill off, that is true. By the way, they make you turn it off. And yet, if you killed one, they put you in jail. That is OK. But why is it OK for windmills to destroy the bird population?"

While his ramblings may have pleased the young Republican crowd, others were left baffled.







Just another day in the presidency of Donald Trump.

Dem Reps. Ted Lieu And Sarah McBride Epically Troll Stephen Miller In Viral Video Ripping Republicans

Democratic Representatives Ted Lieu of California and Sarah McBride of Delaware had social media users in stitches after sharing a joint video in which they wandered around the Capitol building looking for Republicans amid the government shutdown—and managed to mock White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller over one of his sore spots.

The shutdown, which has hit its fifteenth day, stemmed from Republicans’ refusal to negotiate with Democrats over reversing Medicaid cuts and renewing key Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits set to expire this year. Republicans falsely accused Democrats of seeking to extend healthcare to undocumented immigrants.
