Windmill noise is suspected of causing

Chronic sleep deprivation
Sleep disturbance
Increased blood pressure
Increased blood sugar (dangerous for diabetics)
Poor concentration and memory
Depression
Headaches and migraines
Dizziness, unsteadiness, ear pain and vertigo
Vibration in the body, particularly the chest
Nausea/“seasickness”
Tinnitus
Sensations of pressure or fullness in the ear
Stress
Panic
Annoyance, anger and aggression
Increase in agitation by those with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, and ADD/ADHD

But it doesn't cause cancer. So the president is wrong.

So the entire speech was just a joke? 'We are going to build that wall....' just a joke. 'I may be forced to close the border.....' just a joke....

Seems to be a pattern..
