Fact Checks (2)

"Two executives at VattenfallGroup are under major investigation"

Mostly False

Only one executive — CEO Oystein Loseth — was under independent inquiry as of April 2013, for alleged bribery during a 2009 acquisition of Dutch company Nuon. Partners in the Aberdeen EOWDC project explicitly confirmed the probe was unrelated to the wind farm. Trump inflates one to 'two,' implies wind-farm relevance that does not exist, and overstates a preliminary inquiry as a 'major investigation.'

"They are unable to get the many permits necessary"

Mostly False

The Scottish government granted planning consent for the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre in March 2013 — two months before this post. The project proceeded through permitting and was fully commissioned in September 2018, directly contradicting Trump's framing of permit-related failure.

Analysis: Trump Twitter Post — May 28, 2013

Contextual Frame

This post is the second in a deliberate two-tweet sequence targeting Vattenfall and the Aberdeen Bay offshore wind farm (European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre, EOWDC). Its opener — "Additionally" — signals structured rhetorical sequencing rather than impulsive outburst, and must be read in tandem with the preceding tweet: ".@VattenfallGroup, lead investor in Aberdeen windfarm fiasco, has dropped out—project not economically viable--& protestors hate it."

The Aberdeen wind farm campaign represents one of Trump's most sustained personal obsessions circa 2012–2018. Trump believed turbines would ruin sightlines from his Trump International Golf Links Scotland course; he opposed the project through public lobbying, legal challenge (he filed suit against the Scottish government in May 2013, the same month as this post), and a persistent social media drumbeat. This is not detached commentary — it is combative messaging in an active personal conflict.

Authorship Attribution

Posting time: 15:37 UTC = 11:37 AM EDT (Trump almost certainly in New York on this date — the Tuesday after Memorial Day, a regular workday). This falls squarely in business hours, not the late-night/early-morning window associated with authentic impulsive Trump posting.

Style markers: Grammatically correct; proper connective ("Additionally"); structured as a deliberate continuation of a prior tweet; no typos, no ALL CAPS, no emotional intensifiers. The tone is declarative and prosecutorial rather than raw or reactive.

Countervailing factor: The Aberdeen fight was intensely personal to Trump — he was simultaneously pursuing litigation and had been publicly campaigning against the project for over a year. Topics this personally charged sometimes drive authentic posting regardless of hour. However, the crafted two-part structure, the daylight timing, and the clean syntax lean toward aide involvement or at minimum careful dictation.

Verdict: Leaning aide-written or tightly supervised/dictated. Low confidence given the personal stakes of the topic.
