Cervantes tells us that Don Quixote attacked the windmill with his lance. This week, Trump also attacked the lowly turbine -- with misinformation.
"If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations: Your house just went down 75% in value," the president told Republican donors Tuesday. "And they say the noise causes cancer." He made a circling gesture and emitted the carcinogenic sound himself: "Whirrr! Whirrr!"
How silly! Everybody knows windmills don't cause cancer. They cause autism. Much like vaccines.
The windmill wonder was just one way in which Trump has wandered off course in the past two weeks.
