Trump says Green New Deal 'A hoax like the hoax I just went through,' disses wind energy technology
The guy sure has a knack for compounding the maximum number of lies into one line.
President Donald Trump today, while speaking to Sempra Energy employees in Louisiana, referenced the Green New Deal advocated by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
He seems to be obsessed and upset by it.
"That's a hoax like the hoax I just went through," said President Trump. "Under that deal, everybody in this room gets fired. All of the thousands of guys and women standing on these buildings gets fired."
"[Democrats] don't like anything," Donald Trump ranted.
"They don't know what they like."
Then Donald said something even weirder.
"When the wind doesn't blow you don't watch television that night."
"Your wife says, 'what the hell did you get me into with this Green New Deal, Charlie?'"
WHAT.
