Last night at a Republican fundraiser in DC, Donald Trump claimed that wind turbines cause cancer with the citation, They say the noise causes cancer. This may be because the president has a grudge against wind power because he thought it would spoil the view from one of his golf courses in Scotland or it might just be because he is a complete and total idiot, but it is a patently ridiculous claim that it would be more or less a total waste of our time to debunk.
This does mean that the presidents flunkies and allies are in a tough spot. Do they risk angering their infamously thin-skinned boss by admitting that he pulled this one out of thin air? Or do they pretend the emperor is still wearing clothes? Of course its the latter. Behold, White House director of strategic communications Mercedes Schlapp responding to a question on whether wind turbines cause cancer with the answer, I dont have an answer on that. I mean, I dont, I dont have an answer then.

And some other Republicans are jumping on board. Per the Des Moines Register:
Thats not my place, she said.
You know how those things change, she said. One year, coffees good for you. The next year, coffee causes cancer.
Hey, whos to say whether apples arent oranges? Maybe oranges are just big, soft apples. Maybe apples arent even apples. Who can really know? Consensus reality needs a consensus!

(22,124 posts)belief that even his staunchest supporters are now starting to question the sanity of this man and they no longer can come up with any rational or logical excuses to explain rump's idiotic ranting and raving. Know why? Because there isn't any rational or logical reason to his ranting and raving.
And his so called advisors have no interest in preserving this country. None what-so-ever, only their jobs what little power they have accumulated around them in rump land.
By rump's logic, a person could walk through a forest of trees on a windy day and get cancer. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. And by the way, Kim Reynolds is just as stupid and ignorant too. I am sick and tired of this morons defending this nonsense. I'll remember this later down the road, whenever she runs for another office or tries to get another job.
She should put this on her resume 'wind mills cause cancer'. First line of the resume.
