Chasing "Windmills": Our International Embarrassment

 

It's rather widely known that the moronic and vengeful Malignant Fascist is mocked and ridiculed behind his back by other nations' leaders. His foolish, bombastic and often bigoted statements are in stark contrast to those by the leaders of most of our allies.  In an interview with the BBC, former UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney recounted the MF's first call to Starmer, which went off the rails when the MF started talking about his hated wind turbine / "windmill" fetish: 

"Trump during that first phone call brought up one of his famous sore spots: wind turbines ― or, as the president calls them, windmills.

'He started saying, ‘Look, Britain’s a beautiful country, but you have too many windmills.’ McSweeney recalled. 'Fine. He was making his point, he’s made that publicly enough times.'

Trump has indeed attacked windmills for years during speeches and rallies.

'He started to say ‘the windmills are killing your birds, the birds are falling by the windmills, foxes are eating those birds,’ McSweeney said.

Trump’s comment made the conversation difficult for those listening in.

'At this point, the officials that were in the room were barely able to contain themselves because it was extremely funny,' he said. 'But this was the first call between the prime minister and the president and everyone wanted to be professional but were struggling to hold it together.'

But then it got even weirder.

'And he went on to say that as the foxes ate so many birds and became lazy, they became fat. And as they became so fat, people no longer knew what kind of a creature they were because they were too fat,' he said. 'They were these fat foxes walking around Scotland eating dead birds.'

McSweeney said Starmer managed to avoid laughing.

'He just absolutely contained himself,' he said. 'No one else in the room did.'”  (our emphasis)

While McSweeney disingenuously says the sociopathic MF was trying to be funny, he's never seen the MF's deranged rallies where he rails against wind energy and other renewables, not to get a laugh but to undermine those technologies.  His sick, decades-long beef against wind energy stems from him losing a legal fight to prevent wind turbines from operating off the coast of his golf resort in Scotland.  He's now used nearly $3 billion in taxpayer funds to kill offshore wind energy projects in the U.S. by buying up offshore leases and projects.
