Delivers bizarre 'I never understood wind' rant at TPUSA summit
At the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in West Palm Beach, Trump delivered one of his most incoherent anti-windmill diatribes. He simultaneously claimed 'I never understood wind' while also claiming 'I know windmills very much. I've studied it better than anybody.' He falsely claimed wind turbines cause 'tremendous fumes' during manufacturing, kill 'all the birds' and create 'bird graveyards,' depreciate property values, and are unreliable. He called wind turbines 'windmills' throughout. The speech became viral for its rambling incoherence and demonstrated how Trump's personal grudge against Scottish wind farms had metastasized into a bizarre crusade against renewable energy.
