Trump: "There are windmills all over Europe. There are windmills all over the place. And they are losers. One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses, and the worse that country is doing. I haven't been able to find any wind farms in China."

Doofus alert. 2025 year end estimates put China's total wind power generation capacity at half of the US TOTAL GENERATION CAPACITY. ~700 gigawatts vs ~1,400 gigawatts.

The most blatant and obvious of lies delivered to world leaders for the 11% of Americans who belong to this psychopath's political party.

Using an AI slop trough that just steals and regurgitates information that other sites gather and curate isn't super cool. I'm not saying it's wrong in this particular instance, but as a practice, consider not feeding the tools of the enemy.

I usually wouldn’t, just making the point that the very first thing that comes up in the most basic of searches shows that he’s lying and yet not one person in his entourage cares enough, or is brave enough, to show him.

It's the "very first thing" by design, to manipulate you into using a service that nobody needs because Alphabet and Meta think they'll eventually figure out how to use it to more aggressively monetize you.

You beat me to it. Just Googled it and will add - "China has the world's largest wind power capacity, with over 560 GW installed by early 2026, representing nearly half the global share...vastly exceeding other nations in both operational and under-construction wind energy."

Perhaps this idiotic drivel works on his campaign rallies back home but, even accounting for their corporate backgrounds and aversion to social justice, these Davosians are often the smartest people in the room. They don’t need to open a window to know if it’s raining. They fucking know.

Dane here - we've got quite a few of those fancy windmill things, and we're doing quite well, thank you very much. Actual people voted for this clown. Some 50% of Americans did this. I can't even....

He speaks truth. He obviously can't find any windmill in country with most windmills in the world. He just tells us how disabled he is. Maybe we can give him some easier assignment like "find a sheep in Ireland ".

Please, please let this be the moment that the world unites, and denounce this truely moronic idiot man, as the dumbest mother fucker to ever represent a country.

China is the global leader in wind power • Largest installed capacity in the world by a wide margin. • Builds more new wind capacity each year than any other country, often more than the rest of the world combined. • Rapid expansion in both onshore and offshore wind. He can’t find China on a map

Even more than stupid he is just blatantly pursuing his own interests and making it so obvious the lack of right wing support for clean energy is entirely to do with personal wealth. It’s crazy people don’t see that and support them thinking maybe somehow they too will get rich lol

Mother
@rosalievilikke.bsky.social

He has not been able to find any wind farms in China. I believe him! Very disturbing that he was not supported with the neccessary information from his aides. PERHAPS: 1) He did not ask them 2) They did not know either 3) They did not dare correct him 4) They gave him the correct data...

What an embarrassment. Only a few extremely privileged people can behave in such a ridiculous way and still carry on with life as if nothing. No wonder he immediately got rid of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policy.

@doktorzoom.bsky.social

Hey, hang on, folks! While we're all pointing out what bullshit the line about China is (I did, too), let's not forget that wind, solar, and storage are far more efficient and have lower costs than fossil fuels. That's the problem with a Gish Gallop: You correct one lie and the others get through.

Just remember, America thinks using a 4 page 230 year old guide book to rule them in 2026 should stop what trump is doing from happening, but trump gets away with what he is doing because the guide book was written by rich white men to ensure the wealth of the white man.

He is such an utter embarrassment for the United States. He's an imbecile that makes the rest of your country look BAD. Not only is he NOT a leader, I'm not sure he has a legit high school diploma.

Invictus Ghost
@invictusghost.bsky.social

Lies, lies, lies. He seems to have zero understanding of who he's talking to. He thinks the World Bank doesn't understand he's lying. He's scaring the shit out of the Europeans on Green Energy. The Wannabedictator of the world is a madman.

Donald, Please don’t come back to the United States. We do better without a fucking psychotic pedophile in our WH. Go live in Russia. And, take your family with you. -Americans.

Someone needs to flatten his businesses around the world or close them. They need to sanction every business he or his kids own. The world is watching the NAZI Party in power in the US and if they dont respond they are going to be subjugated. I don't say that lightly as an American.

It's like if the weatherman on TV said "Category 12 hurricanes are going to strike the entire country tomorrow, so everyone should fill their car with concrete blocks to keep them from blowing away". And the news anchor said, "Okay, thanks Tom. Next, a heartwarming story about a family of ducks."

Friendly reminder from Scotland. We just increased the wind farm off the shore beside his golf course. You are most welcome 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@pignut1.bsky.social

He has 2, and as one of the local taxpayers who paid for the infrastructure of one of them, I think we should seize it , say it's a Russian Mafia money laundering asset or something, and then ask him to explain his financial arrangements in court if he disagrees.

Gill
@gillu3.bsky.social

And pretty sure he has one in Ireland. Given the history there, I would imagine my Irish cousins are in lock step with us in Scotland.

Gill
@gillu3.bsky.social

It might happen. There remains an Unexplained Wealth Order against him here, which might head to court sooner rather than later if he keeps up this nonsense.

But no one is taking to the streets en masse to protest or fight against his tyranny. From my chair, it's almost like you're lazy or perfectly okay with what's happening. Pick a country in Europe and they'd be on the streets!

@themightybmz.bsky.social

Umm… NY was big on windmill power the minute the Dutch arrived along with water to push wheels for milling. Personally, I have ideas for passive wind power generation along fast rivers disguised as wooden pilings. The fish & birds will be fine. If there is enough breeze to sail …

Europe doesn’t need lectures from someone trying to turn his own country into a dystopian, authoritarian hellscape on what the “right direction” is. He couldn’t care less about European culture. The nationalistic stuff is just sowing division, trying to rile up support for his far right agenda.
