This seems even less hinged than usual, is it real?

Media isn't reporting his obvious dementia. They call the nonsense he spouts "rambling speeches."

Some other recent examples:

“We can’t have an election in the middle of a political season. We just had Super Tuesday. And we had a Tuesday after Tuesday already.”

"Gang boong. This is me. I hear bing.”

" I could tell you about aircraft carriers, where they use electric catapults. They couldn’t go to the steam, which works better for about 1/100th the price, you know? The electric catapult, you know that story? I could tell you about the elevators on a tremendous carrier, the Gerald Ford, and they decided not to use hydraulic like the John Deere tractor, they decided to use magnets, ‘we’re gonna use magnets!’ to lift up the elevators with seven planes.”

I probably shouldn't be amused at a fellow person deteriorating like this, but I can't bring myself to feel bad about it. ☺

Lmao that's hilarious. Do you have the video of him saying the I hear bing one?

[-] xkforce@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

That was significantly more hinged than the meme. He probably set a record for the pace of lies or misleading statements, but he had a coherent message: windmills not made in US, manufacturing them releases fumes, they kill birds, having them nearby decreases home values, etc

Home values could use some lowering.

Other than "manufacturing them releases fumes", I don't see how any of these forms a coherent message.

Also, wind turbines (I assume that is what he meant, unless he has a problem with using wind to turn grain into flour) not being made here is a bunk argument anyway.

First off...General Electric.

Second off, the reason why there are so many manufactures in China is because China is investing and deploying wind at a crazy rate. The only thing Trump did with wind was break it.

They can really be manufactured just about anywhere, right? What's happening is business (and jobs!) are being created to meet a demand. Not the other way around.

That kind of demand can only really come from the stroke of a pen. Particularly his (or rather, the presidents) pen (after passing house and Senate, of course).

You know what's cool about domestic manufactured and implementation of wind energy? Energy independence.

Also I'd bet dollars to donuts that GHG per KW, cradle to grave, for a wind turbine, are orders of magnitude lower than a coal or natural gas plant. And I'd wager the same for bird deaths and home values. Basically all of these are objectively better with wind.
