Is Trump confused?

Actually, there is a cure. But he missed.

Liberals want wind
The wind is blowing today
The wind kills our birds

This is why I love the Straight Dope.

Maybe we could attach small generators to the bird and cut out the middleman of silly ass windmills.

Trump also claimed that windmills cause cancer.

I don’t know what his deal is with them. I wonder if he saw a performance of Don Quixote as a child and it scarred him for life. Also, his name is Don as well, so maybe he felt personally attacked.

Windmills do kill birds- a tiny % of the amount killed by burning coal.

He’s afraid windmills will be built within sight of his property, and lower the property value. (That’s my serious answer.)

An even older article on Trump and his windmill nemeses:

I have to admit this part was pretty funny though.

“You see all those [windmills]. They’re all different shades of color,” he said. “They’re like sort of white, but one is like an orange-white. It’s my favorite color, orange.”

He also claimed that windmills cause pollution because they’re mostly made in China and Germany, and those countries emit a lot of “fumes”.

Specifically in Scotland, yes.

He is accused of having begun his tirades against wind turbines after wind farm developments were proposed near the golf course he owns in Scotland.

TBH: Inspired by Jihi, I only changed one word and deleted a sentence. Trump actually ‘wrote’ it.

It’s all explained in the Wapo link above. https://wapo.st/4fhoq2S

Wind turbines were being built near his Scottish golf resort and it infuriated him.

He fought it and made lots of enemies over there.

Moderating:

That’s pretty close to wishing death on someone (as a “cure” is something to be wished for, generally.)

Knock it the hell off.

I know, I provided another link with the same info.

But I still like my theory that it goes further back than that. :wink:

But what if the bird is on a treadmill?

How about water wheels on sharks? They’d generate electricity and electrocute themselves.

Is his hatred of windmills connected to an association with ‘big oil’?

I know about the Scotland golf course thing. That he also hates the because of aesthetics is a bit ironic coming from a man with that weirdo apartment in NY. The film crew for the devils advocate laughed at the apartment. They didn’t have to do a thing. It’s just the decor they imagined the devil would have.

They where right.

Someone needs to build a gold-plated wind turbine and see what he thinks. I did quote him as saying he does like the ones that are sort-of orange-colored (clearly that was his attempt at humor).

Gold-plated? No, no no. Krylon or Rustolium.

“In four years you won’t have to vote anymore”

“As a senator, Harrah, uhhh, think of this one…”

“We’re going to defeat Kamala Harris in a land slade”

“And by the way, there are numerous ways of saying her name, they were explaining to me, you can say Kamala, you can say Kamala, I said, don’t worry about it. It doesn’t matter what I say. I couldn’t care less if I mispronounce it”

So that’s another example where he seems to catch that he’s having a brain failure while saying “Harris” and stops himself and changes the subject. Its not only clear he’s have cognitive issues, it’s clear he knows it too.

The others are just Trump being Trump not cognitive decline. Note that first one is him saying Christians won’t have to vote for him again. As in he’ll have given them (he is referring to them in the third person making clear he is not one of them) everything they want by then.
