He said this in 2019 and 2020
Now there is another subject in which Donald Trumps expert knowledge surpasses that of everybody else: wind turbines, though he calls them windmills. Ive studied it better than anybody I know, the president asserted in a bizarre segment. I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. Theyre noisy. They kill the birds. You want to see a bird graveyard? Go under a windmill someday. Youll see more birds than youve ever seen in your life.

He is doing this today
The Trump administration moved forward Friday on gutting a longstanding federal protection for the nations birds, over objections from former federal officials and many scientists that billions more birds will likely perish as a result.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published its take on the proposed rollback in the Federal Register. Its a final step that means the change greatly limiting federal authority to prosecute industries for practices that kill migratory birds could be made official within 30 days.
Trump was in a frenzy to finalize his bird-killer policy, David Yarnold, president of the National Audubon Society, said in a statement Friday. Reinstating this 100-year-old bedrock law must be a top conservation priority for the Biden-Harris Administration and Congress.

(46,060 posts)Trump used the potential for birds flying into the windmills off the coast of his Scottish golf course as a reason to protest their installment. (Don't get me wrong. The PRIMARY reason was he didn't like the view of the water impeded.)

The rate COVID-19 is spreading, deaths will be over 300,000 by Christmas.
The protection of wild life, such as the Grey Wolf is no more and therefore happy hunters will wipe them out.
