“It’s hard to fully understand the motivation of the president.”

“It’s hard to fully understand the motivation of the president.” Yeah, I think we can all agree with Tom Kiernan, chief executive of the American Wind Energy Association, who told the Washington Post in August that Trump is absolutely full of shit when it comes to his bewildering battle against wind energy. I mean, Ted Kennedy (RIP) hated the offshore wind turbines too and fought against them because they'd "ruin the view" of the sea from the Kennedy compound, a specious argument as most people find the modern design quite beautiful. That was annoying. But this latest Trump rant against wind power is full tilt boogie, mind-bendingly BONKERS. My regular readers will have noticed that I don't write about the motherfucker anymore, in the interest of self-care for my broken brain, but the speech he gave this weekend is a whole new level of astonishing word casserole with a side of WTF pie. The president was speaking to the conservative student group Turning Point USA on Saturday and the transcript is a bizarre tirade even more bonkers than his wild claim that "windmills cause cancer," and then he'd make that weird "WEW WEW WEW" sound with his stupid mouth. This is the lunatic ranting of a bloviating old fool who isn't qualified to run the White House gift shop. I assume there's a gift shop. I've never visited the White House. 🤡

I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. I’ve studied it better than anybody I know. It’s very expensive. They’re made in China and Germany mostly—very few made here, almost none. But they’re manufactured tremendous, if you’re into this, tremendous fumes, gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint—fumes are spewing into the air, right? Spewing. Whether it’s in China, Germany, it’s going into the air. It’s our air, their air, everything, right? So they make these things and then they put them up. And if you own a house within vision of some of these monsters, your house is worth 50 percent of the price. They’re noisy. They kill the birds. You want to see a bird graveyard? You just go. Take a look. A bird graveyard. Go under a windmill someday. You’ll see more birds than you’ve ever seen ever in your life. A windmill will kill many bald eagles. After a certain number they make you turn the windmill off, that is true by the way, they make you turn it off. And yet if you killed one, they put you in jail. That is okay. But why is it OK for windmills to destroy the bird population?
