Former United States President Donald Trump is once again being roasted online for his bizarre grudge against windmills.
During a call-in interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Trump went off on a tangent about his ongoing vendetta against windmills.
He took things a step further than usual this time, though, claiming windmills "kill everything."
"We're not going to be energy independent two months from now."
"They're making windmills all over the place, to ruin our land and kill our birds."
"To kill everything."
He further claimed wind turbines aren't a good source of energy anyway because they only provide "intermittent energy" and power from them is "not going to power our great factories."
"And they're very intermittent, as you learned from watching over the last four months, it's intermittent energy, it's not good."
"It's not going to power our great factories."

Considering Trump once falsely claimed windmills cause cancer, most people weren't overly surprised by his latest attempt to malign the renewable energy source.
They were, however, happy to roast him on Twitter.

Damn. I live in Iowa. We get almost half our power from windmills. My days are numbered...— Double_Anarchy (@Double_Anarchy) 1623894239
Windmills are already powering our great factories. \nIn CA, TX, and many other states. \nThey're not going away, because they're already cheaper, and more efficient than carbon power plants.— Nerd Headquarters (@Nerd Headquarters) 1623895414
\u201c(Wind power is) not going to power our great factories.\u201d\n \u2013 TFG\n\nGM is committed to powering its US and Indiana assembly plants with 100% renewable energy by 2035. Their Arlington, TX assembly plant (125,000 trucks a year) is already 100% wind-powered.pic.twitter.com/CsUvjnq8xF— \u2796Dustin Miller\u2796 (@\u2796Dustin Miller\u2796) 1623897517
I have nothing but respect for whichever Gov Dept is in charge of cleaning up the dead birds. I drive by hundreds of turbines a week and there's not a dead bird in sight!— "International Strategery" (Ret.) (@"International Strategery" (Ret.)) 1623895618

They also blow your leaf piles all over the place, making it nearly impossible to keep your forests raked\u2026.— Chris (@Chris) 1623894377
Literally Tilting at windmills. Astonishing lack of understanding of everything as an art form.— Stewart L. (@Stewart L.) 1623894955
Trump's initial grudge against windmills seems to be he thought an offshore wind farm in Scotland would ruin the view from his beleaguered golf course in that country.
He even went so far as to sue the Scottish government to prevent construction of the wind farm, but lost the court battle.
Hi Trump. I am back. How do ya like those machines in front of your place in Scotland? I got a surprise coming for ya. How's the view in Florida? Martha Vineyard? Your golf courses would make nice solar production facilities.pic.twitter.com/xaYxJFwMBe— Reesus Patriot \ud83d\udc99 (@Reesus Patriot \ud83d\udc99) 1623896868
When exactly Don Trumpote stops tipping at windmills is anyone's guess.
