Trump blamed rising electricity prices on renewable energy expansion, promoting fossil fuel narratives. This represents a disinformation campaign on energy policy.
A-score: Information operation mechanism targeting energy policy discourse. Election driver (2) for influencing energy policy debate. Capture driver (3) reflects fossil fuel industry narrative alignment and potential regulatory capture dynamics. Corruption driver (2) for promoting industry-favorable disinformation. Mechanism modifier 1.15 for coordinated information operation. Scope modifier 1.3 for federal-level broad population reach. Total A=11.8. B-score: High media friendliness (7) - energy prices are perennial news topic. Strong outrage bait (6) - economic anxiety trigger. Layer 2 shows high mismatch (7) between actual renewable energy cost trends and claims, strong narrative pivot (8) deflecting from fossil fuel price volatility. Intentionality score 11 indicates deliberate strategic messaging. Final B=29.8. Delta (A-B)=-18.0 clearly indicates List B classification - high distraction/hype with coordinated disinformation campaign but limited constitutional damage.
Monitor for policy capture indicators in energy regulatory appointments and decisions. Track coordination between political messaging and fossil fuel industry communications. Document factual energy price data to counter disinformation narrative. Assess whether information operation escalates to regulatory or legislative action that would increase constitutional damage score.
