Daily Beast: “With a collapsing economy, mounting COVID-19 deaths, and sinking poll numbers, President Donald Trump on Tuesday night used a primetime interview to sound the alarm over what will surely go down in history as one of the worst atrocities of the 21st century: ‘all the birds’ that keep getting sucked up and devoured by windmills.”
“While the president spent part of his interview with pro-Trump Fox News host Sean Hannity discussing the apparent bird-killing qualities of windmills, he found no time to say anything about the nearly 165,000 Americans who have died from coronavirus. Calling into close confidant Hannity’s primetime show, ostensibly to discuss presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s choice of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) as his running mate, the president seemed more interested in veering off into irrelevant tangents than focusing on the new veep candidate. Portraying Harris as ‘against petroleum,’ the president first claimed that meant Biden would be unable to win Pennsylvania and ‘many other states’ before quickly sidetracking himself over the topic of wind power. ‘Wind is nice. It’s nice. But it causes tremendous environmental problems,’ Trump exclaimed, touching on a subject he’s rambled nonsensically about countless times. ‘Site and home values going way down,’ he added. ‘If you see a windmill and hear a windmill, your home is worth half or less than half. It kills all the birds.'”
