Donald Trump falsely links wind power to TV blackout and announces 2028 presidential run

Former U.S. President Donald Trump recently claimed that a nonexistent television outage was caused by a lack of wind power, repeating a false narrative that regions using wind energy lose TV service when the wind stops. Fact‑checkers note that the power grid remains operational and stored energy allows broadcasts to continue regardless of wind conditions.

In a separate appearance, Trump announced he will seek the presidency again in 2028, wearing a red cap embroidered with "TRUMP 2028" and stating his intention to run despite the constitutional two‑term limit, which could be altered with congressional approval. The statements were made at a White House event and have been widely reported in Turkish media.

Both remarks highlight Trump's continued use of exaggerated claims and his early positioning for a future campaign.
