Trump bemoans dead bald eagle in US — using photo of dead falcon in Israel
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2674838464/
Trump appeared to get his birds mixed up on Tuesday when he made a snide social media post about wind energy.
On Truth Social, Trump posted a picture of a dead bird in a field of wind turbines. "Windmills are killing all of our beautiful Bald Eagles!" the caption reads. It was amplified by the White House and viewed millions of times on X.
However, the bird in the picture isn't a bald eagle, as the president claims. It's an Israeli falcon.
"Unfortunately for Trump’s effort to sow outrage among American patriots at what he proclaimed to be an image of the national bird laid low, closer inspection reveals the photograph does not show a bald eagle and was not taken in the United States," The Guardian reported after Trump posted the image. "The image actually shows a falcon that was killed at a wind farm in Israel eight years ago."
