Trump claims windmills harm American bald eagles

Donald Trump recently accused windmills of killing bald eagles in a social media post, sharing an image of a dead bird under a wind turbine. However, the bird was misidentified as a falcon, not a bald eagle, and the photo was taken in Israel, not the U.S. This claim adds to Trump’s history of misinformation regarding windmills, which he has previously blamed for killing whales and causing cancer. Despite the concerns about bird fatalities from wind turbines, the specific instance he cited was inaccurate.
