The statement by President Trump addresses the environmental impact of wind turbines, specifically on bird populations, which is a public issue. However, the claim that 'windmills are killing all of our beautiful Bald Eagles' is misleading, as the image used is of a falcon in Israel, not a bald eagle in the U.S. This misrepresentation can lead to misinformation.
