Just before attacking Iran, Trump wrote this [1]

I'm looking at this Truth Social post two ways. He did it as still another part of the plan of the deception to make the Iranians think nothing was coming, or even while deciding to attack Iran, he had to do a rant in character because he just does it all the time.
Before Trump attacked Iran, he had to make his hatred of wind turbines known. He has said that the noise from them gives you cancer, and they kill whales, even the wind turbines on land (okay, it's just he didn't specify). He says it right off the bat.
"I HATE 'GREEN TAX CREDITS' IN THE GREAT, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL."
Well, that all caps opening got our attention. But now he's made it the 'Great Big Beautiful Bill," adding the "great" front of it. I find it hard to believe that the Republicans put anything green into the bill.
"They are largely a giant SCAM."
Which ones are you talking about? Who they? Okay, he means wind turbines.
"'Anywhere' would be preferable!"
To what?
"Windmills, and the rest of this 'JUNK,' are the most expensive and inefficient energy in the world..."
If they didn't work, if they didn't generate revenue, then they wouldn't be building them. We're trying to use that kind of junk to save the planet.
"...is destroying the beauty of the environment..."
He's still pissed at the ones he can see from one of his golf courses in Scotland. He tried to sue, and they told him to put a sock in it.
"... 10 times more costly than any other energy."
Doesn't kill you like fossil fuels do from their emission pollutants. And it's hardly 10 times more expensive. It's more efficient than solar panels and doesn't take up as much space. And he needs to start calling them wind turbines instead of windmills. Otherwise, calling him Donald Quixote will fit him forever.
"None of it works without massive government subsidy (energy should NOT NEED SUBSIDY!).
Someone needs to tell Donald that oil and gas companies are getting subsidies every single year, to the tune of $10 to 52 billion in direct subsides, and $760 billion a year totalling up everything like tax credits. I couldn't believe that figure when I first read it. They get paid to explore and then reap the benefits without returning anything.
"Also, it is almost exclusively made in China!!!"
Okay. 60% of wind turbines are made in China. But they're also made in Denmark, Germany, Spain, and the United States. We could just buy all the ones made in the United States. Real simple.
"It it's time to break away, finally, from this craziness!!!"
I'm right there with you on the craziness. Your fetish with fossil fuels will be the death of us. Sooner than later.
Maybe there should be a wind farm right off the Florida coast in view from Mar-a-Lago. Couldn't happen to a Nazier guy.
