We have a windmill visible from our town (on a hill overlooking the sea) it turns slowly so that it doesn't affect any birds, is totally silent, even in the strongest winds, and it makes its owners money pretty much for just the initial investment.
Just saying, Trump wouldn't know the truth if it impeached him.
Ok. One windmill . Count em .....one
What does the company do ?
What does the windmill do ?
How much energy (if that is what it does) does it manufacture .
I know of only one place that is totally green and off a power grid.
A datacenter out west (US) , yet it is solar.
But , there are a hades of a lot of solar panels just to do it.
So just because you say that the one windmill at one location , in a large world , is efficient does not make it so.
You have to put some facts in there.

I find his mistakes and gaffes refreshing because that's all the past presidents could do—talk. They were experts at speaking. But they've never built or led anything more than their political careers.
Trump invests in established real estate. That is different from an architect or builder.
The fact that he can't seem to design a simple and effective low cost wall might give you pause to think.
Why would the president personally design the wall? Like you said, he's not an architect. And it's already being built. The Dems are stonewalling him on funding so they can get more voters in from south of the border.
ETA: Wall Progress
No, he got the money enough for several years work, last year after the government shutdown. Still has hardly anything to show for it.
Amount built 93 miles. $11.8 billion dollars set aside for it. Trump has said his target is for 450-500 miles built by the end of next year. What do you think?
Meh, I hope he gets there. At least he's making some progress. At least he's actually trying to fulfill his campaign promises in whatever ways he can. It's hard to say the same for most past presidents regardless of political party
He's burning your cash.
Imagine that country A wanted to screw with country B. And country B is trying to be fair and even handed and so it allows all sorts of opinions to thrive.
So, country A sows just enough disruption into country B to cause it to fail in so many little things, but not big enough to cause a response.
Perhaps they flood the media with contradictory information and wild allegations?
Wouldn't the traitorous leader be surrounded by known agents of the other country?
Perhaps he'd be romantically involved with someone from the other country?
Perhaps he'd have big business contributors and sponsors that he'd strenuously deny?
Perhaps he'd not regard the laws and rules of his country too highly and would treat himself as if he were above their laws?
Nah, that could never happen.
Perhaps actual evidence of wrong doing would be in order.
And of all the ways the government burns our cash, I'd hardly consider border security one of them. Hell Hillary Clinton just "lost" $6 billion. Poof.
Trump just lost 11.8 billion. He wins!

Trump's budget officials ordered the Pentagon to deny Ukraine aid 90 minutes after Ukraine call, new documents found - Business Insider

Oh, and in case you forgot...
Not to mention Ukraine got the aid before any investigation happened...
For someone talking about burning tax dollars, you sure are harsh on not giving it to another country immediately.

Why would Trump have cut the aid? He didn't explain to anyone a good reason for it. What was his reason to cut $400 million in military aid to an ally that was actively at war with the enemy of the US?
Perhaps Trump was intending to use it as leverage?
Which means there was quid pro quo intended.
Again, why would Trump have cut the aid?

Not knowing the answer doesn't mean we assume malintent. Maybe he was reviewing the details of the deal. Again, they still got the aid for nothing in return, and claim themselves there was no quid pro quo.
