This confusingly-worded tweet suggests that the moon is part of Mars — it is definitely not. Trump could have been referring to NASA's "Moon to Mars" program that would establish a human presence on the moon as part of its larger effort to get to Mars and beyond, but it's worth noting that the moon is a satellite of Earth. | This confusingly-worded tweet suggests that the moon is part of Mars — it is definitely not.

We’ll have an economy based on wind. I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. I’ve studied it better than anybody. I know it’s very expensive. They’re made in China and Germany mostly — very few made here, almost none. But they’re manufactured tremendous — if you’re into this — tremendous fumes. Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint — fumes are spewing into the air. Right? Spewing. Whether it’s in China, Germany, it’s going into the air. It’s our air, their air, everything — right? So they make these things and then they put them up. | We’ll have an economy based on wind. I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. I’ve studied it better than anybody.
