The derangement of Donald Trump is often mocked and ridiculed. But it would be a dangerous mistake to fail to take seriously the harm that his mental impairment can produce.

That harm is evident in Trump’s waging of a reckless and illegal war against Iran, in his inflationary tariffs that burden millions of Americans with higher prices, in his Gestapo-style military invasions of American cities with immigration StormTrumpers, in his attacks on Democracy and the Constitution, particularly the free press, and so much more.

On Wednesday Trump spoke to a gaggle of reporters in the Oval Office and, as he often does, he wandered off topic to ramble about unrelated pet peeves. On this occasion it was British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Trump’s nightmare of those vicious and hostile windmills that he thinks are destroying nations. He said of Burnham that…

“He’s got an energy problem. He’s got windmills all over the place. And any time you see windmills you see a failing country. They’re made in China, not used by China.”

This rant is a regular part of Trump’s raving repertoire. It has been debunked too many times to count. But he is relentless and impossible to sway from the nonsense he spews about renewable energy sources. He literally believes that you TV will shut off if the wind stops blowing, and your car can’t be driven at night. And that’s just for starters.

FOR INSTANCE: Trump Declares that ‘The Days of Stupidity Are Over’ in a Stupid Anti Wind and Solar Energy Rant

For the record, here is a list of the “failing countries” that produce the most wind energy. Notice that number one is China, where Trump says they don’t use any wind energy at all. And number two is the United States, a country that, in many ways, he himself is leading into failure, but not because of wind power.

Leading Wind Energy Producers:
1. China: Generates over 1,135 TWh annually with a massive capacity above 640 GW.
2. United States: Produces roughly 464 TWh with nearly 159 GW of capacity.
3. Germany: Generates about 136 TWh, covering over 27% of its domestic electricity.
4. Brazil: Produces close 118 TWh, accounting for about 15.6% of its generation.
5. India: Generates around 104 TWh with a total capacity of 54.5 GW.
6. United Kingdom: Produces roughly 86 TWh, supplying nearly 29% of British electricity.
7. Spain: Generates about 59 TWh, representing 20.4% of total generation.
8. Canada: Produces over 51 TWh with an installed capacity near 17.7 GW.
9. France: Generates about 46 TWh with a capacity of 25.6 GW.
10. Turkey: Produces roughly 39 TWh, making up 11.1% of its domestic electricity mix.

What’s more, within the U.S. the leader in wind energy is one of Trump’s favorite states, Texas, that was responsible for generating 28% of the nation’s total wind production in 2024.

Surely there people in Trump’s administration who know these facts. But they are either too devoted to disseminating his bullshittery, or too afraid to dispute him. It’s a sad state of state affairs. And it’s a pathetic way to run a country.

And yet here we are. Hopefully there will be some relief after the November midterm elections. Although even then the reality-based community must remain vigilant and engaged. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride until January.
