Donald J. Trump , man of affairs and chairwoman - elect , finallyhad his meeting with the New York Times this hebdomad . In their drawn-out Old World chat , the ascendant leader of the free worldly concern shared what appear to be Word of God of wisdom passed down to him by a cartoon sea captain : “ The wind is a very deceiving affair . ”
Context does little to clear up Trump ’s apparent animosity towards the regular movement of aura . Times political reporter Michael Barbaro , in pressing him to expound on his design to keep the office of the Chief Executive disjoined from his business interests , alluded to a meeting between Trump and Nigel Farage about wind farms . Trump ’s baffling reaction to the interrogation :
Was I demand with the wind farm recently ? Or , not that I roll in the hay of . I mean , I have a problem with air current …
After Times reporters cue Trump of his participation with farting farms recently , the president - elect explain :
Oh , I see . I might have convey it up . But not having to do with me , just I mean , the wind is a very deceiving thing . First of all , we do n’t make the wind generator in the United States . They ’re made in Germany and Japan . They ’re made out of massive sum of blade , which goes into the atmosphere . The windmills kill birds and the windmill need massive subsidies .
So Trump think the fabrication of windmill puts steel into the standard pressure , for some reason . He hates that they kill birds , and he hates that they ’re not made in America . Thomas Friedman was happy to point out , “ [ GE ] has a big winding turbine manufactory in South Carolina . Just so you bonk . ”
Trump ended his rant on the dangers stick by wind with the words , “ I do n’t care about anything suffer to do with anything having to do with anything other than the area . ” You ’d think that this quotation is some sort of error , since it does n’t make sense , but according to the Timesthat ’s what Trump say .
The rest of Trump ’s responses in the interview were comparably nonsensical . Amid his hallucinatory style of speech — which continually evades the reprieve of a accomplished sentence — Trump stated in no uncertain footing that conflict of interest , in any capacity , were of small concern for him . On strip his business interest group : “ In theory I do n’t have to do anything . ” On the potential date of Jared Kushner — New York Observer publisher and Trump ’s own Word - in - law of nature — to his governing : “ The United States President of the United States is permit to have whatever conflicts he wants . ”
We can only hope that for the next four twelvemonth , Trump ’s choice of conflict is a battle to the death with the very force out of nature , wrestling the winding on a mellow mountaintop instead of misconduct the US government .
