Donald Trump on Saturday said he "hates" the "green tax credits" in his "BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL," although it wasn't immediately clear exactly which specific aspects of the bill he was talking about.
Trump over the weekend took to his own social media site, Truth Social, to highlight the concern about his flagship legislation for his second presidential term.
"I HATE 'GREEN TAX CREDITS' IN THE GREAT, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL," the president wrote. "They are largely a giant SCAM."
Trump went on to say, "I would much prefer that this money be used somewhere else, including reductions. 'Anywhere' would be preferable! Windmills, and the rest of this 'JUNK,' are the most expensive and inefficient energy in the world, is destroying the beauty of the environment, and is 10 times more costly than any other energy."
He then added, "None of it works without massive government subsidy (energy should NOT NEED SUBSIDY!). Also, it is almost exclusively made in China!!! It is time to break away, finally, from this craziness!!!"
It wasn't clear exactly to which part of his own bill the president was referring, but it has been reported that homeowners would "be able to get tax credits for rooftop solar installations for 180 days after the bill's passage."
