Fact Checks (2)

"Wind energy is the most expensive form of energy in history"

False

Wind energy LCOE has fallen ~70% since 2009 and is now among the cheapest electricity sources globally. Nuclear and some fossil fuel projects have been far more expensive per unit of energy.

"Wind turbines are destroying our environment"

Half True

Wind turbines do kill birds including raptors, and the linked article references real Fish & Wildlife Service concerns about golden eagles. However, fossil fuel infrastructure and climate change kill far more birds overall.

Analysis: Anti-Wind Energy Post (2022-08-19)

A relatively routine post sharing a Daily Caller article about wind turbines threatening golden eagle populations. Trump frames wind energy as expensive and environmentally destructive — a long-standing policy position he has maintained since at least 2012.

Context

This post appears amid a flurry of posts about the FBI Mar-a-Lago search and its political aftermath. The pivot to wind energy is notable — it represents either a deliberate attempt to maintain normal messaging cadence during a crisis period, or aide-managed content scheduling.

Authorship

Posted at ~2:08 PM ET (Trump likely at Bedminster, NJ in August 2022). The post has polished formatting, correct grammar, an em dash, and a clean link share — all consistent with aide composition. The phrase "I've been saying this for a long time" is a standard Trump verbal tic that an aide would naturally include. The imperative "Get smart, America!" is Trump-like but also easily mimicked.

Psychological Notes

The post is low-intensity relative to the surrounding context of FBI raids and legal pressure. The environmental framing ("destroying our fields, destroying our environment") is interesting — Trump rarely positions himself as an environmentalist, but uses environmental language instrumentally to oppose green energy policy. The repetition of "destroying" is a mild rhetorical device.

Rhetorical Techniques

Appeal to authority (self-citation: "I've been saying this"), appeal to fear (destruction of environment/wildlife), and imperative framing ("Get smart") that implies the audience is currently being foolish.
