This fucker has to go.
Seems like all this dependence on oil is the real security vulnerability.
The most expensive military in the world… Stopped by windmills.
Considering what’s going on with fossil fuels these days, NOT going renewables is a national security risk. All because some petty bs that Trump doesn’t like windmills.
Once the Democrats get into office, they best recind every fucking tax break the GOP gives to oil, gas and coal. EVERY SINGLE ONE. We’re going to need to make these rich bitches squeal because we’re squeezing them so hard. Make them sweat and cry.
Can someone do a drawing of trump riding a donkey, charging at a windmill with a lance?
Don Quixote
The Trump administration is bankrupting and destroying our country with the full backing of the GOP!
When everything is a matter of national security, nothing is.
I’ve never seen someone hate the Earth so much.
And all because he lost a court case over a wind farm offshore from his Scottish golf course.
they really want to drag us back centuries. and even back then they had windmills.
Those are the words of a fool put in power
This should be criminal. The adminstration is killing industry in our nation and killing our economy. We are all going to suffer.
Lord Babyhands became fearful of the power of wind ever since he learned about the prophecy of his demise. Plus it ruins his combover.
How very communist China of him.
At least solar is still thriving
All because he didn’t like that one windmill farm by his Scottish golf course.
Don Trumpote de la mancha
I like not using the name. Nice touch
God we need to make the R word okay to use again. It’s the only one that fits.
National security/emergency is Trump’s new favorite way of attempting to brute force whatever he wants.
Anyone voting for any republican in any race, even dog catcher is a moron.
Trump doesn’t want anyone to harness more power from hot air than he does.
America has their own little Don Quixote. Tilting at windmills and the like.
The GOP really is doing everything they can to ruin this country
Rest of the world is evolving while America goes backwards
Not our national security. It’s for Russia and Saudi Arabia.
hahaha that is such a laughable excuse. can’t wait till we have a chance to hold them all accountable for their sins against this nation
> President Donald Trump has a particular animosity towards wind farms. He has called them the “worst form of energy”
Sir, this is not the 1950’s. I just don’t get how spinning copper/aluminum (which are fully recyclable) is worse than burning oil and coal. Oil and coal goes away (well, transformed into other things we can’t burn) where as that copper/aluminum will be here forever ready to be recycled into more generators.
Either way, one does not replace the other. It is all part of a mix. Same with solar and water power generation, part of the mix. Cutting off part of that mix is very short sighted.
See, what you don’t understand is that the company’s that are pushing renewables haven’t paid into the „national security“ bribe fund that big oil and coal have, so it needs to be stopped before it hurts their revenue
I hope the next democrat stalls oil and gas due to “national security concerns”, in the future.
This is why china is winning without even trying. Trump is that meme of the guy that sticks the branch in the bicycles wheels while he’s riding it and blames someone else.
Windmills are woke and powered by gay wind says maga
Gas prices keep rising because of his hissyfit war in Iran and he wants to complain about wind farms.
He’s a *billionaire* and wants us to pay for his $400 million ballroom while his „It’s not a war“ war is costing us billions only resulting in higher gas prices, for us, and he’s complaining about windmills.
MAGA 2016: „Let’s vote for a wealthy businessman with no experience in politics, military, or government! What could possibly go wrong?“
You know… in a way I feel a odd kind of pride in the US these days. Despite being actively sabotaged by its own government, the ol girl still keeps trucking along.
…wonder how much more damage it can endure.
Thank god. Those wind turbines were weeks away from developing a nuclear bomb
I can’t wait until we don’t have a syphilitic geriatric fucking first grader in charge
Big Oil’s bribes are paying dividends
Don Quixote tilting at windmills. Same as it ever was.
How did the US decide that the world’s biggest moron should be their president?
Just remember when the lights go out in the heat of summer. West Texas has the largest wind farm in the US. Right on the same land as those oil wells. Because the wind really blows on Landmans Odessa and Midland. And oil still pumps out of the ground.
But think of the oil lobby and their campaign donations… $1B was it in 2024?
It’s all part of the grift to manipulate oil prices and steal profit while pulling all the levers of power.
Don must think he’s some kind of wizard. All he has to do is say the magic phrase „national security“ and he just gets what he wants for some fucking reason
It’s not that Trump hates windmills, it’s that they haven’t paid him enough money to love them, while oil has paid enough to official hate them. Corruption couldn’t be more visible, and the congress lets it happen right before the nation.
Hmm, you would think diversifying your energy production would be good for national security. But hey, what do I know, I’m not being lobbied by the oil companies.
It obviously is a matter of national security. Whenever you mention ‚wind farms‘, Trump goes batshit crazy – he has the nuclear codes, and that is dangerous.
How very quixotic
Fossil fuels are actually and obviously a national security problem, nobody can shut off the wind or the sun to a country. Other countries are actually realizing this, the U.S. is so corrupt that the president can actually lie and say the opposite to support his oil cronies.
