The Hidden Reason Behind Trump's Windpower Cancellations
The Grifter in Chief is trying to bribe Dutch wind power company Orsted over Greenland
You may have been too holidazed to have heard the latest on Greenland, but the man of negative percentages is at it again. Through a newish maga proxy, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, he’s renewed his ravings about conquering Greenland.
Since my readers are among Substack’s most intelligent, I need to pause and answer your question before you ask: What the hell does Louisiana’s Governor have to do with Greenland?
Well, you are probably aware that the man with a million holes in his head doesn’t think things through; he just looks for sycophants to do his bidding, regardless of qualifications. So he appointed Landry as a special envoy to Greenland.
He accompanied Landry’s appointment with a bit of blather about Greenland, saying, “We have to have it.” In a post on True Sociopath, the mad clown’s social media operation that has gotten some new life by merging with a sketchy nuclear fusion company (long story), our desperately ill president wrote:
“Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our National Security, and will strongly advance our Country’s Interests for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Allies, and indeed, the World.”
Wait. We still have allies?
Later on Monday, he slurred to reporters at Mar-a-Lago something about needing Greenland for reasons related to “national security, not for minerals” and that there were Russian and Chinese ships “all over the place.”1
Landry, Crazy Cankles said, will “lead the charge.”
Landry, still wearing shoe polish on his lips, then immediately took to the Twitter hate machine and wrote this:
Greenland’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, did the best Volodymyr Zelenskyy imitation ever and told Trump he can’t have his land.
Denmark’s foreign minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen had a few choice words, too:
“As long as we have a kingdom in Denmark that consists of Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland, we cannot accept that there are those who undermine our sovereignty.”2
Windward, ho!
There’s one more thing Denmark has that I need to slip into this conversation. It’s a wind power development company called Orsted, which stands to lose $15 million per week after the human oil slick “cancelled” five wind power projects on the East Coast.
In a matter of finely tuned Susie Wiles coincidence, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum Monday announced that he is “pausing” five major wind projects off the East Coast. These projects, unsurprisingly to anyone not wearing a red hat, were already operating under a many-layered approval process that included close scrutiny by military types wearing lots of medals.
Burgum was undeterred. He said the pause was necessary because of “national security risks identified by the Department of War in recently completed classified reports.”
Does it matter that there is no such thing as a Department of War? If it were me, I’d keep working on those projects, since these idiots with barely functioning brains have nothing but legal quicksand to back up their mendacity.
To that end, Democratic Attorney General William Tong of Connecticut, sighing heavily after giving himself whiplash with a self-administered slap to the forehead, said, “We went to court over this before.”
Indeed, a court order blocked the regime’s previous efforts to halt the development of wind farms like one by Revolution Wind off the Connecticut coast.3
“Every day this project is stalled is another day of lost work, another day of unaffordable energy costs and other day burning fossil fuels when American-made clean energy is within reach,” Tong said in a statement.
The costs to this newest set of delays are real, even if they, too, are reversed by the courts.4
According to a report in the New York Times, “the decision injected uncertainty into $25 billion worth of projects that were expected to power more than 2.5 million homes and businesses across the Eastern United States, according to Turn Forward, an offshore wind advocacy group. The five wind farms were projected together to create about 10,000 jobs.”
Orsted said it would cut about 2,000 jobs, even if the courts reverse Burgum’s decision.
The power grid is immediately affected. For example, Vineyard Wind 1 off Massachusetts will need to power down half of its 62 wind turbines that are already sending electricity to customers on the East Coast if it honors Burgum’s ridiculous order.
Offshore windfarms are hard to build. You don’t just pack up your things and go home for a few days. We’re talking machines the size of Pluto that help install these things. They require expertise, too. Re-engaging workers isn’t like calling your local burger flipper to do a last-minute shift.
Power companies will be reluctant to start new projects for obvious reasons.
The main target, if I’m interpreting the regime correctly (I’m aware that this is a fool’s game), seems to be Orsted. The collateral damage to additional wind companies is simply the cost of modern warfare. As Sun Tzu Trump once wrote in his famous book, The Art of War Deals, “Bribery will always prevail.”
What is Trumpenstein really after here? Does he really want to annex Greenland?
Doubtful. This is all part of his usual grift game. He is going to wrestle the Zelenskyy look-alike to the ground until he gets the rare earth deals he wants, so he can strip Greenland bare and make your smartphones happy. You can be sure there are also family members and minions awaiting their opportunities to submit plans, paperwork, and a stock prospectus or three.
Naturally, there’s another thing at play: a fourteen-year grudge against wind farms.
“Wait, what?” my clever readers query. That’s right, my friends. Do you remember what set you off fourteen years ago? No? Well, he remembers what set him off. Do I need to say who “he” is?
Didn’t think so.
Anyhoo, one day, he raised his toxic eyebrows in the direction of a wind farm off the Scottish coast. Alarmed because he thought it somehow clashed with the green of his golf club there, he fought to have the wind farm removed. “NO!” the Scottish courts replied, not hiding their laughter.
He’s hated wind farms ever since. I’m glad to report that there are not many people in the world who hold on to odd grudges so thoroughly. I’m equally sad to report that one of the few who does hold on to wild grudges challenges us daily with his bizarre provocations, which are now enhanced by a rapidly deteriorating mind.
So, the wind farm fiasco is all about two things: grift and vindictiveness.
If I’m wrong, we’ll just have this, I suppose…
Necessary Satire Add On
Ruminato’s Greenland correspondent, Hubert Blaine Grønkjærolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff, is now reporting that there appears to be military activity outside a church just outside the Greenland capital, just as this report is being handed to our clickbait experts for headline development. As you can see in the photo, the enemy is digging in.
Thanks for reading!

I live in NJ, where we have had discussions about wind farms offshore for as long as the felon has been in office. During the Biden administration, they got the go ahead to build wind turbines a few miles off our shore. The first thing the felon did when reelected was cancel them. That is just stupid, they are the best possible thing for the future. They will pay for themselves, and just continue making electricity.
It is mind-boggling how his ignorance runs the world. It's like a cartoon, it is so unreal. I don't get why we don't have a coup. With the Supreme Court effectively making Trump a king, we effectively have a monarchy. Free from democracy’s rules, what to do? Instead of one president, how about installing a Team for the People, with people like Heather Cox Richardson, Joyce Vance, Anne Applebaum, and Marianne Williamson, who, among other wonderful possibilities, are women I especially track? The people would be behind it, and that’s how regime changes happen. Just picture such warm, smart, human-loving human beings leading the way. Politics of the people. Why not?
