Trump's Insanity

Trump: “Many of the components used in wind turbines are made in China.” He then suggested that China itself doesn’t actually use wind turbines saying, “I have never seen a wind farm in China,” Trump declared. “Why is that? Somebody check that out”.

(Fact: China is far and away the world’s leading producer of wind energy, with more than triple the current U.S. wind capacity)

He’s always had goofy ideas, but he’s getting worse.

His followers only hear the shit he says. The media and RW in general never drop the facts like China does use wind energy.

Most likely because China doesn't put them in downtown Beijing and Krasnov hasn't been in places where they would be put.

Because he said they ruined his gf course in Scotland.

I think they are beautiful. I was always struck by that sce e in North By Northwest where Cary Grant is running from the plane and the windmills are in the backdrop. Best scene ever.
