'Total Mental Collapse': Trump Ripped After 'Insane' New Ramble In Europe

US President Donald Trump (R) speaks with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen (L) during a meeting, in Turnberry south west Scotland, on July 27, 2025US President Donald Trump spent part of his weekend in Scotland reviving his old grievances against wind power, even claiming at one point that it was “killing” Americans.During a meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Trump abruptly detoured from immigration to wind turbines.“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.”He added:“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 US Department of Energy, it’s not the most expensive form of energy, and they’re not “almost all” made in China.Several users asked Grok, the AI tool within X, to fact-check Trump’s claims on wind power.Here’s a typical response: GrokTrump, 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.”Trump’s critics called him out for his latest out-of-the-blue tirade against wind energy:His insane obsessions - windmills, toilet flushes, shower pressure - get not even 1% of the coverage, or mental health discussions, as Joe Biden’s verbal gaffes and frailty did. https://t.co/rZdUGOF02w— Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) July 27, 2025This is a total mental collapse by Trump, who shows that at 80 years old, he can't travel as he goes off on a babbling, lie-filled rant about windmills and whales while meeting with the president of the European Commission. pic.twitter.com/6fR3gGVCt0— Sarah Reese Jones (@PoliticusSarah) July 27, 2025Complete gibberish. https://t.co/IAmRqLmFuY— Mark (@arkstfan) July 28, 2025Two minutes of Trump rambling about windmills and whales:"Wind doesn't work. It ruins the landscape, it kills the birds. They are noisy. Whales... it's driving em' crazy... They are environmentally unsound. It's the worst form of energy."Trump is a global embarrassment. pic.twitter.com/Ccf6yUB4KU— Ron Smith (@Ronxyz00) July 27, 2025🚨WTF: In a moment of mental decline, Trump warns Europe (huh?) that he won’t allow windmills to be built in the U.S.: “They're killing us. Our beautiful plains. I’m not talking about airplanes… they won’t let you bury the propellers.” Take his keys!pic.twitter.com/4m9DPfSDCz— CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) July 27, 2025Incoherent gibberish from #Trump in #Scotlandhttps://t.co/QBZOQdNbmS— JOHN NICOLSON 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 (@MrJohnNicolson) July 27, 2025Iowa really getting a lesson in Trumpism here.
