Trump eagle-minded post tilts at windmills, crash lands in Israel

United States President Donald Trump sparked controversy with a social media post blaming wind turbines for killing bald eagles, using a photo that was actually taken in Israel and depicted a different bird species. The image, shared on his platform and amplified by official accounts, showed a falcon or possibly a vulture, not the American national symbol. Experts confirmed the bird was not a bald eagle, noting differences in size, color, and habitat. Critics quickly pointed out the error, highlighting Trump's ongoing opposition to wind energy and questioning his knowledge of the country's iconic wildlife.
