President Biden, as part of his Green New Deal, has been in negotiations with Mexico to install Windmills outside of Private Citizen Trump’s Mara Lago estate.
It’s a win-win situation for all says Biden. “Mexico will pay to install Windmills and they assure me they only have a 50 percent chance of causing cancer”
When asked for comment, Private Citizen Trump blamed the Windmills on the media, the Deep State and Hillary Clinton.

I'm sure you won't mind me bumping your old thread. Did you hear Trump in Scotland this weekend?
“And the other thing I say to Europe: We will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States,” Trump said. “They’re killing us.”
“They’re killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful plains ― and I’m not talking about airplanes. I’m talking about beautiful plains, beautiful areas in the United States, and you look up and you see windmills all over the place. It’s a horrible thing. It’s the most expensive form of energy. It’s no good. They’re made in China, almost all of them.”
He complained that wind turbines “rust and rot in eight years” and then can’t be “buried” because they will harm the soil.
“The whole thing is a con job,” he said. “It’s very expensive. And in all fairness, Germany tried it and wind doesn’t work.”
Much of what the president said was wildly inaccurate: Germany gets
more than a quarter of its energy from wind, turbines last about 30 years (not eight),
according to the U.S Department of Energy, it’s not the most expensive form of energy, and they’re
not “almost all” made in China.
Trump, who has frequently attacked renewable energy, has a special hatred of wind power that likely began some two decades ago, when an offshore wind farm was proposed near the land that would become his golf resort in Scotland.
He
sued to block it,
lost and has complained about wind and other forms of renewable energy since.
He mentioned that on Sunday as well.
“Today I’m playing the best course I think in the world, Turnberry ― even though I own it ― it’s probably the best course in the world, right?” he said. “And I look over the horizon and I see nine windmills. ... I said, ‘Isn’t that a shame? What a shame.’”
Trump has previously taken his anti-wind stance to absurd extremes, such as in 2019, when he falsely claimed wind turbines
cause cancer.
“The wind, the wind, it sounds so wonderful,”
he said last year. “The wind, the wind, the wind is, the wind is bullshit, I’ll tell you.”
