Aberdeen wind farm was Trump's most sustained personal business crusade of 2011–2015, strongly supporting direct authorship
Twitlonger (cont) format was routinely used in Trump's personally authored extended tweets circa 2013
Slightly elevated register ('economically unfeasible') relative to typical Trump casual tweet lexicon — mild aide signal
No typos, misspellings, or ALL CAPS passages — deviates from reactive authentic-Trump style

"Vattenfall dropped out of the Aberdeen wind farm development"

Mostly False

Vattenfall reduced its ownership stake in the EOWDC consortium in early 2013 but did not withdraw. The company subsequently acquired partner AREG's 25% share, becoming the sole owner. The wind farm achieved first power in July 2018 and full commissioning in September 2018. Trade outlet 4C Offshore published 'Vattenfall goes all in with Aberdeen wind farm.' The claim that Vattenfall 'dropped out' is the opposite of what occurred.

"The Aberdeen wind farm development is economically unfeasible"

Mostly False

The EOWDC was completed in 2018 and is fully operational. While it received government support and subsidies (standard for offshore wind demonstration projects in this era, as the name 'European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre' indicates), the project was feasibly completed and generates electricity. Trump's legal challenge to block it was rejected at every level including the UK Supreme Court in December 2015.

Psychological Analysis: June 12, 2013 — Vattenfall / Aberdeen Wind Farm

Context and Background

This truncated post employs the Twitter "twitlonger" convention prevalent in 2013, with the full text continuing at the now-inaccessible linked URL (a format Trump used regularly for extended personal tweets during this period). The post is one dispatch in a sustained multi-year campaign against the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC) — a joint venture led by Vattenfall to construct 11 offshore turbines approximately 3.5 km from Trump's Trump International Golf Links resort on the Menie Estate near Balmedie, Aberdeenshire. By June 2013, Trump had filed a formal legal challenge against the Scottish government's planning consent (May 2013), testified before the Scottish Parliament, and reportedly sent First Minister Alex Salmond 16 personal letters opposing the project. The Scotland legal battle would ultimately be lost at the UK Supreme Court in 2015; Trump was later ordered to pay ~£225,000 in legal costs.
