Trump claimed there are no wind farms in China, and Community Notes put him on blast – 15 top takedowns
Donald Trump has held a very public grudge against wind farms since he failed to prevent one being built near his Aberdeenshire golf resort in 2015.
Why do you think Trump talked about Wind Farms and Windmills for years? B/c he Scottish Government fined him close to $300,000 for failing to provide evidence that windmills are harmful. Trump wanted the windmills removed b/c it provided bad view from his golf course. pic.twitter.com/uVtePtQMHY

‘Windmills’ were a popular ‘weave’ point during his 2024 election campaign, with his familiar talking points of how they’re so ugly, inefficient and expensive that they have to be stopped.
Trump: “Windmills, and the rest of this ‘JUNK,’ are the most expensive and inefficient energy in the world.”
Fact check: False. Wind power is actually one of the cheapest and cleanest energy sources on Earth. pic.twitter.com/kXJSDhWT03

In a recent rant about windmills, he informed the world that China makes them, but doesn’t use them. Something that’s going to come as a big surprise to China.
TRUMP: And we are putting up wind. It does not work, aside from ruining our fields and valleys and killing all the birds. Being very weak and expensive, all made in China. I have never seen a wind farm in China. Why is that? pic.twitter.com/zgY192gBvl

Community Notes entered the chat – literally.
The resulting eye-rolling was almost an energy source in itself.

It’s not just that he’s evil, it’s that he’s so endlessly fucking stupid too. https://t.co/K3m47BwjLs

Why is that? Because he hasn't looked. China is the world leader in wind power generation, with the largest installed capacity of any nation. If only they had the internet in America, he could have checked that. It doesn't matter, because if he said it, it is true to his cult. https://t.co/a4L3fncx9d

Trump’s wind energy rant is classic nonsense—loud, wrong, and proudly ignorant. Wind power does work. It’s cheaper than coal, made largely in America, and powers millions of homes—including plenty in red states like Texas.
As for his bird obsession? Turbines kill a fraction…

China is the largest wind power producer on Earth. Maybe try Google before the next speech.

Ah yes… China has no wind power except
…the highest wind generation in the world, more than double the US (second largest) and more than 7x that of Germany (third largest)
These are really just the basics… https://t.co/avc0W3otU7 pic.twitter.com/Jd53rQ1dhC

Trump: 95% of windmills are made in China, but I’ve never seen a wind farm in China

All man made structure kill birds. The only reason to point out that windmills do is to discourage green energy. Like the oil companies want to do.

Trump says he hasn't seen a wind farm in China, and suggests it's because China knows "it does not work"
China has more wind farms than any country on earth
He lies like he breathes https://t.co/BnDkLeC2sb

Trump has never seen a wind farm in China because he's an incurious narcissist who ignores all information that contradicts his biases. The Gansu wind farm is the largest onshore wind farm in the world, with 7000 turbines. China is the global leader in installed wind capacity. https://t.co/yXQOXm8LCJ

Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill gives tax breaks and subsidies to companies developing fossil fuel opportunities.
Fact: 97% of climate scientists agree that urgent action is needed to combat climate change.
So either @realDonaldTrump knows something we don't, or he's selling out America and the planet, putting billions of lives on the line for fossil fuel profits and protecting his donors.…
