Donald Trump blamed 175,000 deaths in Europe a year on lack of air con and these Europeans were only too happy to put him straight
Donald Trump’s United Nations speech was so full of nonsense – witness out the BBC’s epic fact check here – that it would be easy to let certain passages pass without comment because there was simply … so much of it.
But this moment surely deserves attention, when he suggested that 175,000 people a year were dying in Europe because of extreme heat.
And the best way of dealing with that extreme heat wasn’t by tackling climate change, obviously. It was to switch on the air conditioning. Powered by fossil fuels, obviously.
Trump to the UN: "Europe loses more than 175,000 to heat deaths every year because the costs are so expensive you can't turn on an air conditioner. What is that all about? That's not Europe.

As a European, this man does not understand Europe at all. We never needed air-conditioning untill climate change started kicking in. We use windows and blinding methods to keep the house cool.

European here – I don't know a single person with air conditioning in their home. Work, yes. Home? No. Fucking imbecile has no idea what he's talking about.

Trump at the UN:
Blames Europe’s “heat deaths” on AC bills.
Science? None. Just hot air from the world’s biggest hoaxer.— AnatolijUkraine (@AnatoliUkraine) September 23, 2025

"They die because they can't turn on air conditioning but there's no global warming and I'm sooooo high right now, guys…"

To be clear the 175,000 number is actually true.
The reasoning for why it's happening is utter bullshit.

Last word to this person.
Global warming hoax…while talking about heat-related deaths…
We need a giant hook to get him off stage, or a gong, or something… trap door?
