was getting strong bipartisan pushback Thursday over his strange criticism of wind turbines, which he railed against in a speech Tuesday and has a long history of publicly opining on, without much basis in wind energy facts.
"It just seems like every time you turn around there's another thing the president is saying -- wind power causes cancer, I associate myself with the remarks of Chairman Grassley -- it's an 'idiotic' statement," Pelosi said in her weekly news conference on Thursday. "If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value -- and they say the noise causes cancer," Trump said Tuesday, swinging his arm in a circle and making a cranking sound to imitate the noise of windmill blades. "And of course it's like a graveyard for birds. If you love birds, you never want to walk under a windmill. It’s a sad, sad sight.
Insanity plea?
So does wind from his backside
Why ask this question ? Everything 45 is, includes him being a DEVOTED Conspiracy Theorists a.k.a. this latest absurd declaration.
I can't help but feel a 'Don Quixote' pardigm here...
Donald has a good sense for science, believe him. I heard he also defies science on golf courses.
Kills birds... And views...Don't know about Cancer.
Everything causes cancer
This has to be the 10th time this story was reported. ABC find a new story
What an idiot! But his base is no better, otherwise they would see Trump for what he is — a bafoon with inflated ego who cares about no one but himself and his rich buddies.
Of course not. I have seen a wind turbine. The were NO DEAD BIRDS under then. He is a total dumb ass!!!!!!
Please go away
Um, because his dad was born in Atlantis?
This is literally why no one watches you for real news. You will print anything to hate on president Trump. Fake news! Garbage
If I heard him say the sun rises in the east, I’d verify.
The President once again lies. Science, of course, backs up the truth.
To answer your question Trump is tilted towards his dirty coal. Don’t forget his BS about clean coal crap. Discredit wind for dirty coal has long way to go.
Poor tRump
To divert attention to his income..10 bets he has invested in petroleum natural gas and coal..if we move to eliminate these fuel sources and move to more natural like windmills there would be alot over people hurting financially
Because he is nuts
Cant fake news take a damn joke he was telling jokes about wind power
That little crazy demon inside President Quixote’s head was feeding his strange facts. Again.
A 9 year old knows this is ridiculous.
I doubt he just pulled that out of his was. Wrong or not, that came from someplace. I'd like to see it. Anyone out there in the twittersphere ever run into that study he mentioned?
Because he’s mentally unbalanced.
the petty things you focus on, what about the economy, immigration reform, infrastructure rebuild, things benefiting more Americans, PLEAAAASE!
FakePresident
Trump must have cancer with all the wind around him!!
What causes cancer is dirty air and water, a long with continued use of oil! So in the end the TRAITOR IN THE WH IS THE CAUSE OF CANCER with his anti environment and anti climate change!
Syphilis does horrible things too the brain I’ve heard.
I'm still scratching my head at the need for peer reviewed research...🤔 Really?
Guys named Don rescuing us from windmills is so 1605.
So does telling lies. Love it trump
Listening to this administration causes cancer! And then they are going to refuse to treat you for it!!!
😁🤣😂
As if republicans know or care what peer-reviewed research is.
Não é as turbinas mas qualquer reator elétrico perto até caixa de luz foi disso que a estilista de São Paulo morreu
Does someone actually research Trumps lies ? What 😮 sickening
morgfair He says stupid crap to keep us from talking about the crimes he is hiding by not releasing his taxes or Mueller report.
Could this man be out of touch with reality? At the very best, he knows nothing about wind energy.
Why are his hands so small for his obese body?
Well duhh.
morgfair Yeah, noise causes cancer. Just like that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
morgfair Why would anyone need to fact check this? Only a moron or a Trump supporter, but then I repeat myself, would believe anything as outlandish as this.
morgfair People simply need to ask him where he got the information. My guess - InfoWars.
God he is embarrassing.
It goes to show how ridiculous the democrats claims are to climate control, immigration, live newborns, jobs, taxes, you name it. Democrats open their mouth and stupidity comes
Could there be a possibility it’s true?
It’s so sad to see we the people voted for this person.
Jesus. We've sunk to this?
Got your degree at Trump University ?
Most ignorant president ever!
what research? we do not need research to know that is bull sh**
Yep
Pinche pendejo!!
Just like climate change studies. Not one has been correct in all the years they have been predicting outcomes.
Look at his fat little hand.
The wind blowing in through the hole in realDonaldTrump’s Head and out his big fat mouth is the only “cancer causing” wind I know of as he is a cancer on democracy.
Problem is the Trumptards will continue to believe his BS. There should be a law requiring his supporters wear their red hats at all times.
Did they forget to check with 💎 & silk. Seems these ladies are foxes top experts on just about anything. Not the 97% of scientists who tell us crimate is critical. Yet AOC is ridiculed by them. Anyone with brains knows this is just another distraction from real science.
I lived for a few years with 22 wind turbines left and right and all around me.This was the reason I had to sell my house as the turbines were always very noicy & irritating w/ pressure on my ears having a real bad effect on them.I actually thought I would lose my hearing totally
And Fred Trump was born in Germany.
Because he can't write.
Noise causes cancer? Damn, everyone who is in a hairband in the 80s should be in fear right now!
He didn't say that if you listened
listen overhead electrical wires in Levittown New York Nassau area cause cancer in most of the people living there, never say never president Trump I disagree this time.
Because verbal diarrhea just comes & goes with no warning. Such is the nature of diarrhea. Lol !!!
The man gets his security briefings from Fox News and his science from Mad Magazine. He is hopelessly incompetent.
Kind of like “global warming” caused by humans! The climate changes it’s called weather! Turbine noise could cause cancer... it’s just as possible.
LOL... if you listen to his speech it’s a joke. But the Left can’t understand a joke any longer since they destroyed comedy.
You are being Mocked abc fakenews. Lol you are being so mocked!
And he has you talking about it... while you progress with your anti-Biden campaign in hoping no one takes this one down and you get another four years talking about the same to sustain ratings
I would put money on him making a joke that the EnemyOfThePeople just don't get.
Of course not. Sounds like he went to Trump University to acquire his “knowledge.”
At the least, they’re an eyesore.
Duh 🙄
Maybe he now wants to invest in oil and gas?
Soon he will lie stating that he Don Quixote!
windmills are a huge joke! They supply very little electricity and kill millions of birds each year
Reaching!!!
Is he suddenly concerned about windmill technicians. This is a classic example of supposition.
YOU are the CANCER
Fake news from Trump. Why aren't his advisors telling him what the facts are?
Just how the vax movement originated, from a liar and proven crook! Note, I said 'originated', not 'oranginated'!! 🤣
Fake News causes cancer. Prove me wrong.
BING BING. BONG COVFEFE. ORANGES. ANOMOMINOUS
must be having a slow news week. This story is as stale & old as a 3 day old baguette at a French bakery.
Still upset he didn’t get those Scottish windmills out of his view from his gulf course
LOCK HIM UP!!!
His use of superlatives to describe what he has done, causes cancer.
If one heard the wind Turbine noise, all night ..I guess one would develop a ' Cancer ' ..quickly..one way or another..
If noise can cause cancer, then trump needs a warning label.
However medical research has proven that listening to Donald Trump incessantly can cause explosive diarrhea in mice.
Why does all the press hang on this idiot’s every word. Just call his claim a lie and move on.
I don’t know how the people who back him can really say this is even remotely true! I would love to hear them explain this one. Better remove all those ceiling fans from your homes! 😂🤣😂🤣
WTFC about you and your biased network
Really because I do remember that the chemicals they use on the turbines does cause cancer so maybe Trump is half right. Turbines do bother animals and humans also they kill a lot of birds.
Who is more dumb The president the people that researched this or the people that believe this?
I suggest that the media stop wasting time disproving such idiotic statements. If true, inhabitants of Palm Springs would be in a constant death cycle. Let’s devote space to legitimate concerns - infrastructure, immigration, foreign powers, ...
Jeanie45813886 He lies on purpose. Then sits back and laughs as the media goes berserk and his followers swallow every word. When challenged he either denies he said it, or claims that is what the ubiquitous “they” told him. Brilliant strategy.
Neither does common sense. He’s just stupid. 🤷🏿♂️
Our citizens, hungry for cheaper cleaner energy were misled & pressured into investing into wind turbines, with little say control or knowledge into their design, productivity, numbers, or cost. Now with them dotting the landscape nation wide, we've heard little of their success.
BETTER: In another of his almost 10,000 lies while in office, ……
Poulsen has pub the most research on wind turbine noise and its effects on humans. It increases their need for sleep meds, anti-depressants and their risk of MI. No cancer yet. But exposure is sim to high power electrical lines which do increase brain cancers. So not far fetched
see this right here should show how much he is losing it honestly do you know how this looks to people mental
I do not know what he is smoking but it is pretty powerful!
Obama said that he would lower sea levels.
He doesn’t like windmills because they make it hard for his wig to stay put.
Are realDonaldTrump’s hands really that tiny? Or is it just in comparison to that huge melon?
Aren’t wind turbines pushed by people who believe they can control Global Warming?
Since Peer Reviews and Science don't really know what causes Cancer (if they did a cure would have been found) this is Fake News to Embarrass the President.
Extend those quotations “windmills cause cancer” cuz that’s what he actually said. He thinks wind turbines are windmills. Windmills.
Donald Trump the menace, have turned to a scientist. Lots of research on kissing causing cancer.
Really Lmao
This president does often say some wild off the cuff remarks but he didn’t claim it, he said he heard it. And yea it’s nutty to even think that however we’ve never had a POTUS so available to the press and unscripted, ever. Be happy he’s genuine and his policy is great for USA 🇺🇸
President Trump has been ready for talks, but the dems have no means necessary..
So is it the noise or the wind realDonaldTrump that causes cancer? You see to be the cause of a lot of noise and hot air, so wouldn’t that make you a hazard as well?
Morons think Man causes Global Warming with ZERO evidence, so what is your point?
ABC NEWS NETWORK..
He claimed Obama was born in Kenya and he won the popular vote and had a bigger crowd and his father was born in Germany. This is just one more lie your drunk angry grandpa would throw out there. Just another day.
More likely that Trump's vile rhetoric causes a variety of mental, emotional and physical illnesses and imbalances. He is a one-person disaster spreading his disease across the land.
JUST SAY HE LIED!
he, along with many others compromised in our government, have long bedded the evil petrochem sector. dark money oil does all it can to suppress and bury CLEAN ENERGY and renewable energy. plus, the saudis have him by the ears and checkbook.
President Trump is correct. Also, if you reside anywhere near a wind turbine you home value drops by 70% and your pets and livestock will die within months.
Sir, The only thing wind turbines do is create electric power. It’s a learning curve for the birds. The power goes into the lines or is stored. Smaller turbines are being created. I’m not a Democrat. I have seen how effectively Germany has used solar and wind.
This man is clueless
Do you suppose Trump will claim the sound of wind in a stand of trees causes cancer as well? Perhaps wind sounds in high mountain peaks are equally lethal? Certainly not the wind sounds echoing through Wall Street. They are totally benign.
That’s according to the teachings at his failed Trump University.
An obvious joke. Get it, Scaramucci? Not the enemy of the people?
You mean the lie? Stop normalizing his psychopathology.
Well, my claim is Trump causes headaches. I’m pretty sure I can prove that
He’s is seriously and I bet clinically mental. It proves how he lies to support whatever tangent he’s on. POTUS, I will not be voting for u this year. 2016 u said u would improve health care, this year mine went up $705 per mo. Now u say u will focus on it after 2020 election.
Listening to realDonaldTrump can lower ones IQ 50 points just ask the people leaving his rallies.
Putin says I'm a genius
FakeNews
Noise from windbags also causes a kind of nation cancer
Y'all are hilarious. He's lying.
Who are the experts? The same ones that cry the sky is falling on climate? We do not control the weather and never will. We have 4 seasons Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter. That's that. Amen.
Wow, this really makes me worry that Trump is becoming more and more delusional and suffers from a real mental illness.
'If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value,' he said. 'And they say the noise causes cancer. You tell me that one, okay?'
Windmills...………...Donald Quixote Trump.
Sounds as ridiculous and convoluted as many of the claims and predictions that climate alarmists are constantly making. I'm still waiting to grow citrus and bananas here in the the NW.
Propaganda. Watch the video and see for yourself
He’s talking about magnetic waves
You know what does cause cancer? Coal.
FeministaJones Do we really need to cite actual research to prove realDonaldTrump is an idiot who blows hot air? Every thinking person on the planet knows this latest moronic twaddle from him is bullshit.
Another one of T Rump''s lies!!!! The BLOWHOLE IS AT IT AGAIN!!!! HE SPENDS MORE TIME STIRRING UP TROUBLE THAN HE DOES PLAYING FAKE PRESIDENT!!!! POOR EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING!!!!!
His supporters will now repeat it like God little minions.
Why did you bither fact checking this? No one with a double digit IQ believes it.
We knew this was a lie....
The noise coming from Trump’s mouth causes headaches in the average sane person.
He must not have any 'friends' who work for companies making a profit from wind turbines. If he did, he would be saying the opposite
This simply seems highly unlikely, where did this nonsense come from .ugh
Saying 'research does not back up the claim' lets him off easy. You really should be more honest like 'nothing in reality even points to this' or 'in something clearly pulled from nowhere'. The true shame is how dumb he thinks his supporters are that he'd even try this one.
I bet he got this nonsense from false news.
Because he is wierd.
That's as true as global warming...
Donald Trump loses wind farm legal challenge - BBC News
Electromagnetic Radiation (noise) is suspect in causing cancer. All forms of electricity generation produce it. Do some basic journalistic investigation before publishing hit pieces. It would take less than five minutes, but that would be to much work for ABCs lazy crew.
realDonaldTrump
He said it tongue and cheek as in. ....'they say it causes cancer'.. he DID NOT say 'it causes cancer'. . Can you post current news as this has been posted more times than the Russia HOAX story.
If that was the case, the shit coming out of his mouth would make the plague look like the sniffles
This sounds like you are now a tabloid news station
You don’t say. 🙄
He does it because the mass media gets distracted, you are talking about it...HowToManipulateMedia101
inkedautistNI We should send him to live near one to test out his theory.
The coal industry told him it's true
No kidding..😡🇺🇸
How Would He Know? He has time in down on the farm?
Propaganda News
Come on, that’s the sound of the wind through his head. The gases from his hair “causes cancer.” IdiotInChief
How does the president think this shit up? And how could noise cause cancer?
No he did not ABC News. So stop perpetuating nonsense.
Trump HATES it when an 'Alternative Energy' starts looking REALLY GOOD vs. 'Clean Coal'.
I guess he thinks so because the noise coming from his mouth causes the shakes, nausea and fits of rage.
People he is the President, the king, the emperor, the Pope to the Evangelicals, the dictator, he knows a tremendous amount, so if he says wind turbines cause cancers then take it as an AlternativeFact, it must be true! VoteSenateBlue2020 VoteBlue2020
But didn’t he say he knows a lot about wind 😜
That one engages with these unhinged utterings seriously - that’s the real problem
Isn’t this story a few days old now? It must be a slow news day. Move on ...
if you look too long at boiling water you may loose some memories, also very dangerous to listen to rain fall without socks
Is this like when media was fact checking a Fox News presenter who said he hadn’t washed his hands in ten years? 😀. Y’all are just so jobless, seriously.
OF COURSE IT DOESN'T. Why take the time to disprove that which we already know is false? Is it for the masses who follow him and don't care if it is? Seriously. Those of us with half a brain beg you not to waste our time with this nonsense.
And in other news......... Trump supporters everywhere; sitting in corners rocking back and forth aimlessly; because of their fears of using ceiling fans!
The entire quote is actually “some people say the noise causes cancer.” But, hey, who’s parsing words.
Why not just load the border up with speakers blasting windmill noise?
Common sense does not back up the claim.
Peers? Is that what we are calling them today? I think he refers to them as his royal subjects.....
That’s a long way of saying “the president lied about windmills”
I got windmill cancer ..no?
FM.
Friggin Don Quixote
He's STUPID!
Trump is so stupid no wonder he doesn't want people to see his grades
Trump IS a cancer. Let’s find the cure.
Most of what realDonaldTrump says is a lie. Just because he puts 'they say' before a statement does not make it true! I'd like to know who 'they' are!?!? He has been making idiotic statements since the beginning. He is an embarrassment to our country! UnfitForOffice
Trump has been “bought” by the old energy companies.
Well of course not. You need peer review to negate that nonsense?
Tell grandpa not to lick the blades
Oh my gosh now he is really full of shot or completely paid off bought by oil lobby. What was GE think about this? Gas turbines are their competency but don’t they know? Who has bought this man? Anyone? 🧐
This is where we are now. Having to pull out “peer reviewed research” to debunk an obvious lie. Ughh
When is his supporters figure it out? He is a fool & a fraud.
With the way trump is furthering environmental damage through his money first corporate greed policies and the idiots he has put in charge of protecting peoples health, he is the one that is causing cancer. Oh yeah and he doesn't care. Sadly his supporters don't seem care either.
Lol
REPORT THIS
ABC: at some point, you’re going to have to report that he’s just full of sh$t.
TRUMPISBATSHITCRAZY AND AMERICANS WILL SUFFER 25thAmendment now !!
Please give him his medications
There's actually research on that?! Lol
Who cares. Get a life. Move on.
Ok, already! This is the second day of this same headline, is it all there is, no more important news than a misconstrued out of context one liner. ABC the first in news, joke.
But human existence will end in 12yrs? Hypocrites...
Trump is a cancer 😡💩
Choir’s in.
To bad the American people can't count on their president to make scientifically proven valid statements or clarified as his personal assumptions from whatever relativity he is using...Google seems more reliable to count on
Why even use the term “peer-reviewed research? Just say “that was a lie” or better yet....ignore the statement, because of how bloody ignorant it was.
climatechangedenialsyndrome
It's simple. It's a grudge born in Scotland when he failed to get his own way on a wind turbine installation planned adjacent to his golf course. His failure then causes his twisted little mind to rally against wind turbines whenever he can, hence the ludicrous false cancer claim
Probably trying to protect coal industry...
Because,they are round like a windmill , and the windmills of you're mind revolve like the circles that you find, in the windmills of you're mind!
Maybe he should be more concerned that money is being spent on research to determine if wind turbine noise causes cancer.
Trump's peers read national Enquirer
No sh*t
His vendetta against windmills stems from his failing Scottish golf course.
This man is the cancer that needs to be removed ASAP.
Your mental trump I'm sorry pH
It doesn't?
Ugh
Is this real journalism, please cover real disasters and crimes against Democracy that shitbag is doing
AdamSchiff stated R current president is an operative of Russia & stated he had proof? why hasn't he produced it? okay so maybe realdonaldtrump was wrong on this? meh HEY big dif R U going 2 call out ShiftySchiff don't think DOJ is going 2 prosecute after 2-years just asking
DonaldSimons2 No shit
So the man is a psychotic lying charlatan who uses conspiracy theories to feed his imbecilic base?
I mean no shit Sherlock, why even give the slightest credit to such a nonsensical claim by this illiterate monster.
Because he’s a full on nut job.
Logic doesn’t back it up. No known research backs it up. No anomalous data points to this. That’s not how sound waves work. Vibrating air molecules are not carsinogens nor are they ionizing radiation. He’s a know-nothing twat.
Only half true, biased headline.. research NEITHER backs up nor debunks the claim
Sound matters!
I’m fine with pointing out Trump’s gaffes. What’s bothersome is the way you ignore similar nutjobbery from Democrats. Pelosi is a walking fount of senility. Ignored. Biden’s goofy statements are plentiful. Ignored. Try journalism. [Follows appreciated!]
If you wear a piece of tin foil on your head it will stop the micro waves that’s turning Chicken Little hair orange
The only thing that's toxic is the crap coming out of his mouth. Trump's sole purpose as POTUS is to enrich his pockets by allowing big corp reign to do what they want.
He's the cancer himself
The noise from politicians is cancerous, more likely.
Why waste time chasing down this 🤡’s nonsense? His tactics are distraction, deflection & denial. Hold him accountable for ignoring climate change. He is a grifter and con-artist, serving his 1% and 🇷🇺Masters.
Who are the peers who had time to review this!
What a cancer
Careful, you're perilously close to NOT making the usual 'both sides' argument and actually calling Trump's lies 'lies'.
God only knows but my theory is he doesn’t like wind.
As a PES member in good standing, I will point out Trump may have an original idea .. perhaps research worthy?
Your article quotes Jeremy Firestone! Ph.D. Public Policy Analysis, U of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2000) J.D. U of Michigan Law School (1986) B.S. Cellular and Molecular Biology, U of Michigan (1980), Honors He has no credentials in climate and very little science!!
Most Trump claims don't stand up to common sense nevermind more.
realDonaldTrump has super powers that can withstand even peer-reviewed research! What are you guys talking about? 25thAmendment
Saudi Princess Ivanka just applied for patents for more voting machines and chain saws with China. She has a fake security clearance.
What we do know is that he would tell people that aliens will eat their babies if it would bolster his oil industry pals and investments...and even then, his base would believe him.
You can also get AIDS in your eye by looking for love in all the wrong places.
Alzheimer’s
absolutely sir
Idiot
JUST SAY HE’S LYING
Neither does common sense
Common f***ing sense doesn't back his claim!
'Peer-reviewed research'?! Even my 6 yo son knows that!
He thinks it's an easy target because everyone knows wind turbines are mostly a waste of time because they can't maintain base load power.
The cancer is in the White House.
Lol. Like anyone needs a scientist to tell them that.
