Trump falsely claims Green New Deal calls for 'tiny little windows'

President Trump bashed the Green New Deal during a phone interview Thursday evening, incorrectly telling Fox News host Sean Hannity that it would require builders to use “tiny little windows.”

“I mean they literally want to take buildings down and rebuild them with tiny little windows, OK, little windows so you can’t see out, you can’t see the light,” Trump said.

Windows are never mentioned in the 14-page Green New Deal, which is more of a vision for fighting climate change and spurring economic growth than a specific prescription. “In case anyone was worried, tiny windows are not a part of the Green New Deal,” Sunrise Movement, a youth climate group that backs the effort, wrote on Twitter. “We are anti-tiny window.”

Sustainable design calls for more and larger windows to make use of natural light to lower energy costs. They can cost more in order to make them energy efficient but that does not make them get smaller.


You know what is driving the industry to smaller windows? Stronger hurricane winds from climate change. Just sayin.
