Analysis: Trump claims that wind farms cause cancer for very Trumpian reasons
Cattle graze in a pasture near a wind turbine in Adair, Iowa. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow April 3 at 9:56 AM For the uninitiated, President Trump’s comments about wind energy at a Republican fundraising dinner Tuesday night must have seemed like a non sequitur, at best.
Why yes, he did! And for those familiar with Trump’s track record in business, that claim wasn’t surprising at all. Trump sued, unsuccessfully, to prevent the wind farm from being built. He attacked Scottish politicians, especially then-Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond, for allowing the project. Those attacks, involving nearly 100 derogatory tweets between 2012 and 2014, would be familiar to any observer of Trump. Some focused on trying to persuade Salmond not to support the wind farm proposal. Others were retweets of people disparaging Salmond.
An ad the Trump Organization took out targeting Salmond was banned from being published in the United Kingdom for being misleading. — Donald J. Trump September 5, 2013 And, of course, Trump embraced the idea that wind turbines were hazardous to people’s health.
