Watch bizarre moment Trump falsely claims wind turbines power his TV

This is the bizarre moment Donald Trump falsely claims wind turbines power his TV during a campaign rally.

“Darling, I would like to watch the President on television tonight. Honey, I don’t think we’ll be able to, the wind is not blowing.”
