The president went on a wild rant about the energy source, claiming wind turbines are a “con job” and drive whales “loco.”
President Donald Trump launched into a wild rant about windmills Sunday, repeating a grab bag of misinformed claims about his least favorite energy source. Trump began stacking up supposed U.S. advantages over Europe during a sit-down with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, culminating in a bizarre diatribe against windmills. “And the other thing I say to Europe: We will will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States, they’re killing us,” Trump said. “They’re killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful plains—I’m not talking about airplanes, I’m talking about beautiful plains.”
