There are things in this world upon which everyone should agree.

Kawhi Leonard is a superstar. The sky is blue. Tim Hortons coffee tastes like suffering. Road rage is a growing menace. The temperature near the Arctic Ocean should not reach 84 degrees. Khloé Kardashian deserves a man who will not cheat on her. The sun is hot. Britney Spears is a tragedy in the making. Water is wet. Lou Dobbs is Satan. Cauliflower is disgusting. A six-pack stomach is really hard to get after the age of 30, no matter how hard you try, and believe me I am trying.

But all of this stuff is relatively debatable compared to what should now be the most agreed upon truth in the universe: Donald Trump is clinically insane.

Even if you still love the guy — and I hear from many readers who still do — can we just agree that, yeah, he is a three-legged coffee table? He clearly has severe brain damage. He is not playing with a full deck. His marbles are long gone. If Trump was a housecleaner, there is no doubt he would vacuum your backyard and scrub the stainless-steel appliances with mustard and dust the blinds with a flamethrower.

The man is so off his rocker, he can’t even recall what furniture used to look like.

I draw your attention to comments the U.S. president made on Tuesday while addressing natural gas workers in Louisiana, where he launched yet another baffling attack on one of his new favourite targets: windmills.

The setup was the Green New Deal proposed by some Democrats, which Trump dismissed as a “hoax.” You know the routine. Anything he can’t wrap his head around or potentially makes him look bad — federal investigations, the media, congressional oversight — is “fake.” When Melania ever leaves him, he will tell his flock of credulous rubes he was never actually married: “Never happened! Believe me. That Melania chick was stalking me. Fake marriage.”

But at this moment, Trump was fixated on the Green New Deal, which he warned would result in mass unemployment. He did not offer any corroborating evidence or industry stats or grand political vision. Trump’s take on energy has never strayed beyond a pledge to bring back coal mines and, what, make black lung great again?

But then things got weird. Trump started riffing on wind power and ... bird deaths?

“You want to see a bird cemetery?” Trump asked the crowd, who clearly did not want to see a bird cemetery. “Go under a windmill sometime, you’ll see the saddest — you’ve got every type of bird.”

My guess is Trump’s ornithology is limited to KFC drumsticks.

But some workers clapped. Others looked around, confused.

“You know in California, you go to jail for five years if you kill a bald eagle,” Trump continued. “You go under a windmill, you see ’em all over the place. Not a good situation. But that’s what they are counting on — wind.”

The number of confused faces multiplied.

“And 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?’ ”

Have your say

So let’s recap. Trump has already suggested living near a wind turbine will drop the value of your home by 75 per cent. Last month, he said the noise from windmills causes cancer. And now he’s blaming them for slaughtering bald eagles, as he did in a bizarre anti-China tweet seven years ago: “The Chinese are illegally dumping bird-killing wind turbines on our shores. Only one of many grievances--we should act.”

We should act. And draping Trump in a straitjacket would be a good start.

So I would now like to address his supporters.

I get that you love his confrontational style and his disdain for PC pieties. But your saviour now says windmills kill birds and cause cancer. By next month, he will blame windmills for the rise in price of cotton candy and the JFK assassination.

This is not just laughably absurd — it is proof your hero is batcrap crazy.

Trump is clinically insane and this windmill business proves it.

You may agree with some of his policies. You may think he is exactly what America and the world needs right now. You may think he is the victim of smears. You may think he does not get a fair shake in the media. Fine. But as soon as he claims there are mass graves of bald eagles hidden under windmills, that’s a wrap. We are done.

He is bonkers.

Your hero is full of hot air.

And those imagined dead eagles under the windmills, that is your real future.
