Trump's Goons Now Forced to Say They Have No Idea Whether Wind Turbines Cause Cancer

Last night at a Republican fundraiser in DC, Donald Trump claimed that wind turbines cause cancer with the citation, “They say the noise causes cancer.” This may be because the president has a grudge against wind power because he thought it would spoil the view from one of his golf courses in Scotland or it might just be because he is a complete and total idiot, but it is a patently ridiculous claim that it would be more or less a total waste of our time to debunk.

This does mean that the president’s flunkies and allies are in a tough spot. Do they risk angering their infamously thin-skinned boss by admitting that he pulled this one out of thin air? Or do they pretend the emperor is still wearing clothes? Of course it’s the latter. Behold, White House director of strategic communications Mercedes Schlapp responding to a question on whether wind turbines cause cancer with the answer, “I don’t have an answer on that. I mean, I don’t, I don’t have an answer then.”

“I really don’t have information on that right now,” she added. “... I don’t have information on that, if I get a readout, I’m happy to update you on that.”

And some other Republicans are jumping on board. Per the Des Moines Register:

Gov. Kim Reynolds, also a Republican, addressed Trump’s remarks with reporters Wednesday as well and highlighted the important role wind energy plays in Iowa’s economy. However, she declined to say whether she thinks Trump is wrong that wind turbines can cause cancer.

“That’s not my place,” she said.

“You know how those things change,” she said. “One year, coffee’s good for you. The next year, coffee causes cancer.”

Hey, who’s to say whether apples aren’t oranges? Maybe oranges are just big, soft apples. Maybe apples aren’t even apples. Who can really know? Consensus reality needs a consensus!

1. And Rex T. called rump a 'moron'...wonder what that was all about, eh? I have a firm...

belief that even his staunchest supporters are now starting to question the sanity of this man and they no longer can come up with any rational or logical excuses to explain rump's idiotic ranting and raving. Know why? Because there isn't any rational or logical reason to his ranting and raving.

And his so called advisors have no interest in preserving this country. None what-so-ever, only their jobs what little power they have accumulated around them in rump land.

By rump's logic, a person could walk through a forest of trees on a windy day and get cancer. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. And by the way, Kim Reynolds is just as stupid and ignorant too. I am sick and tired of this morons defending this nonsense. I'll remember this later down the road, whenever she runs for another office or tries to get another job.

She should put this on her resume 'wind mills cause cancer'. First line of the resume.
