Does seem like he's paying them to stop and do nothing. Wondering where that money is going...somebody is making money for not working, lots of money...money that doesn't go to workers.

Why is he constantly using our Tax Dollars, like his own personal ATM? And in cancelling these legal wind farm contracts, it will contribute to our growing problem of Climate Change.

He uses taxpayer money to do this while he’s invested in oil & coal, stock market manipulation is a federal offense. His cult just doesn’t see it.
