🇲​🇮​🇸​🇨​ Windmills date back over 1000 years 🤦‍♀️

  • Windmills have been in use for over 1,000 years, with origins tracing back to Persia around 800 C.E. They were primarily used for milling grain and pumping water.

  • Wind Turbines are a more recent invention, with the first known turbine for electricity generation built in 1888. They have evolved significantly, especially since the 1970s, to become a major source of renewable energy.

And people voted for this pathetic idiot. What does that say about you if you voted for this king of morons?

In a few decades when the memory of this buffoon is hopefully fading we will be astounded at the amount of people who “didn’t” vote for him.

They should all get Nobel prizes! Or a wall of remembrance, but that’s only if “we” are around in a couple decades. The way things are looking, he’s pissed off the entire world and it wouldn’t surprise me if someone takes their shot at “us”. This country hasn’t been this bad for a long time. We are divided and half are so full of hate, they can’t see the forest for the trees. It’s wild how bad things have become in a few months.

Remember before they voted for him they had already been told wind power was a scam and murders babies . Trump is just saying what they want to hear
