Donald Trump, sitting next to President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, turned a joint press conference into a full-blown rant against wind energy. Forget trade deals—Trump’s real enemy is the humble windmill.
In this surreal clip, Trump declares:
* “The whole thing is a con job” – blasting wind energy as a scam.
* Windmills “drive whales loco” and are linked to whale strandings.
* They “kill birds,” ruin “our valleys and beautiful plains,” and rot within 8 years.
* Claims wind energy is “the most expensive form of energy” and “made in China.”
* Laments that wind turbines have destroyed the view from his Turnberry golf course.
This moment is a masterclass in Trump’s off-script style: part energy policy, part conspiracy theory, part Yelp review of Scotland.
