Trump: The windmills are killing our country. (His craziest anti-windmill rant yet.)

Ignore Aaron Rupar's typo. You have to hear Trump's minute-and-a-half rant.

No offense at all intended to anyone who is cognitively challenged.

Trump sued Scotland over wind turbines off the Scottish coast, claiming they spoiled the view from his oceanfront gold resort. The case went to the UK Supreme Court in 2015 and Trump lost bigly:

(BBC) "Donald Trump's Aberdeenshire golf resort must pay the Scottish government's legal costs following a court battle over a major North Sea wind power development...Mr Trump battled unsuccessfully in the courts to halt the project...A total of 11 turbines make up the development off Aberdeen...Judges have now ruled Trump International Golf Club Scotland Ltd should pay the legal bills incurred...Mr Trump had argued the development would spoil the view from his golf course at Menie."

He hasn't forgotten the loss to this day. Trump attacks wind turbines at every opportunity. It's become an obsession.

Trump is killing America on orders from his boss, Vlad Putin !
Wake up America ! Look at all the fault lines in our society that Trump is attacking to split us right down the middle.
Stop attacking each other and push Congress to do its job and impeach and remove Trump now !

Especially the low-flying ones over places like Palm Springs.

Or is it the electric sharks. (Not the "great" WHITE ones, of course. Just the ones who sneaked through the open border between Murka and Australia.)

Geez. I just felt a few million brain cells die, screaming in agony, just from trying to figure out what the hell he's talking about.

He stopped a 1.5-gigawatt offshore wind project off New Jersey.

Meanwhile, there was recently a breakthrough in China where an offshore wind farm is being used to produce Hydrogen without having to distill seawater. The world is passing us by.
