President Trump’s long-standing feud with wind energy took a viral and highly mocked turn on December 30, 2025, after a social media post intended to highlight the "danger" of turbines backfired in spectacular fashion.
In a late-night post on Truth Social, the President shared a photo of a dead bird lying beneath a wind turbine with the caption: “Windmills are killing all of our beautiful Bald Eagles!” However, eagle-eyed users and ornithologists were quick to point out two major flaws: the bird in the photo was actually a falcon (likely a Eurasian kestrel), and the image itself was taken in Israel in 2017—not the United States. To make matters worse, the turbine in the photo clearly featured Hebrew writing, proving it wasn't even an American wind farm.
