**The Poetry of Donald J… Trump – Special “Tilting at Windmills” edition**

On a recent _Full Send_ podcast, Trump responded to a question about the situation in the Ukraine in an interesting way

Question: “What do you see happening next, then? Cause it seems like the tensions are high. How does this all end? Is this going to be a long-term thing? How do you see it unfolding?”

Trump:

Well,  
And I said this a long time ago,  
If this happens,  
We are playing right into their hands.

Green energy.  
The windmills don’t work.  
They’re too expensive.  
They kill all the birds.  
They ruin your landscapes.

And yet the environmentalists love the windmills.  
And I’ve been preaching this for years.  
The windmills ―  
And I had them way down ―  
But the windmills are  
The most expensive energy  
You can have.

And they don’t work.

By the way,  
They last a period of 10 years  
And by the time they start rusting  
And rotting  
All over the place  
Nobody takes them down.

They just go onto the next prairie or land  
And destroy that.
