# Posts from Friday, June 16, 2023 39 posts on 2023-06-16. ## Day analysis Day analysis page: https://trump.fm/date/2023-06-16/analysis _Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-04-03T20:15:05.947Z (UTC): a model's reading of the day's posts, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._ **Arraignment Aftershock: 26 Posts of Rage, Victimhood, and Retribution from Bedminster** Trump spent the day at his Bedminster estate in a sustained defensive reaction to his federal indictment three days earlier, firing off 26 posts across eleven hours. The morning opened with personal attacks on former chief of staff John Kelly and demands the DOJ withdraw charges, then erupted into a rapid-fire afternoon barrage mixing victimhood, rage, and sweeping promises of retribution against Biden. He repeatedly cast himself as America's persecuted defender while accusing the prosecution of election interference and threatening to weaponize the Justice Department against political opponents. The day closed with a pivot toward poll numbers and campaign messaging, but flashes of anger at Adam Schiff showed the wound remained open. - Posts analyzed: 26 - Dominant state: mixed - Narrative arc: mixed - Aggregate rage level: 0.65 - Max danger level: elevated - Escalation detected - Theme obsession: Federal indictment on classified documents charges - Claims: 51 (28 false) - Era: Indictments Period # Daily Psychological Digest: June 16, 2023 ## Context & Location Trump was at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club on this date, three days after his historic federal arraignment in Miami on 37 felony counts related to mishandling classified documents. All times are converted from UTC to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC-4) for accurate behavioral analysis. **Posting window:** 8:16 AM – 7:17 PM EDT (11 hours, 1 minute) **Total posts:** 26 **Posts with rage indicators:** 15/26 (57.7%) **Posts rated elevated danger:** 15/26 (57.7%) **Average intensity:** 0.61 --- ## I. Psychological State Tracking The dominant state across the day is **mixed**, with the narcissistic oscillation between grandiose and vulnerable poles occurring at unusually high frequency — consistent with severe narcissistic injury that cannot be resolved by either pole alone. The federal arraignment on 37 counts represents perhaps the maximal narcissistic injury of Trump's post-presidency, and the day's posting reveals a personality structure under acute but characteristic stress. ### State Distribution - **Mixed:** 13 posts (50%) — the core state, reflecting simultaneous activation of grandiose defense and vulnerable wound - **Grandiose:** 7 posts (27%) — compensatory triumphalism and dominance displays - **Vulnerable:** 6 posts (23%) — shame displacement, supply-seeking, martyrdom ### Key State Transitions The day exhibits four distinct psychological phases: **Phase 1 — Morning Rage & Displacement (8:16–8:52 AM EDT):** Five posts in 36 minutes open the day in a mixed-to-vulnerable register. The John Kelly attack (ts_110553844161190711) is the most psychologically revealing — deploying a private spousal loyalty declaration as a weapon, scoring high on ego-syntonic sadism (0.82). This is followed by shame displacement ("The World is laughing at us," ts_110553857708338527), apocalyptic catastrophizing ("Country is FINISHED!!!", ts_110553875712988788), and institutional delegitimization ("Injustice Department," ts_110553954882978121). The Lincoln Project attack (ts_110553984673009815) closes this phase with dehumanizing projection. **Phase 2 — Aide-Managed Interlude (12:39–12:42 PM EDT):** Two staff-authored posts break the emotional register: a Federalist article share (ts_110554880203171696, authorship 0.15) and a Trump National Golf Club promotion (ts_110554888551903462, authorship 0.05). These function as institutional compartmentalization — brand maintenance continuing as a parallel operation during crisis. **Phase 3 — Maximum Intensity Burst (1:22–1:55 PM EDT):** The day's psychological peak. Ten posts in 33 minutes constitute the most concentrated posting burst of the day. This sequence escalates from supply-seeking (Tucker Carlson endorsement, ts_110555046731185026) through vulnerable martyrdom ("AMERICA WENT TO SLEEP LAST NIGHT WITH TEARS IN ITS EYES…", ts_110555057631814188) to maximum grandiose-rage activation ("NOW THAT THE 'SEAL' IS BROKEN… I WILL APPOINT A REAL SPECIAL PROSECUTOR," ts_110555065295789588, intensity 0.92), peaks at "ELECTION INTERFERENCE!" (ts_110555160117562870, intensity 0.93, rage 0.90), and attempts resolution through campaign messaging ("IN 2024, WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!", ts_110555103973323554). The rapid-fire cadence — one post every 3.3 minutes — suggests acute emotional flooding overwhelming normal posting intervals. **Phase 4 — Gradual De-escalation (3:16–7:17 PM EDT):** Seven posts over four hours show decreasing intensity. Supply-seeking and validation behaviors dominate (Judicial Watch RTs, Breitbart endorsement, "Greg is a true CHAMPION"). The DeSantis poll attack (ts_110556328775818504) represents classic displacement — redirecting anxiety onto a rival through dominance display. The final post (ts_110556444095989854, 7:17 PM EDT) shows residual rage in the Schiff attack but at reduced intensity relative to the afternoon peak. --- ## II. Escalation Detection **Escalation detected: Yes** The primary escalation occurs during Phase 3 (1:22–1:55 PM EDT), exhibiting a **spike** trajectory rather than a gradual build: - **Onset:** ts_110555046731185026 (1:22 PM EDT) — Tucker Carlson endorsement, intensity 0.35 - **Rapid climb:** Seven posts in 13 minutes escalate through vulnerable martyrdom (0.78), grandiose retribution promises (0.92), DARVO projection (0.87, 0.91), institutional delegitimization (0.86), and existential framing (0.72, 0.88) - **Peak:** ts_110555160117562870 (1:51 PM EDT) — "ELECTION INTERFERENCE!" — intensity 0.93, rage 0.90 - **Duration:** ~29 minutes from onset to peak The escalation is **disproportionate to immediate triggers** — no new external event occurred between 1:22 and 1:55 PM EDT. The burst appears driven by internal rumination and mounting affect dysregulation rather than external provocation, suggesting the arraignment's emotional impact was still being metabolized three days later. The posting cadence (10 posts in 33 minutes, or one every 3.3 minutes) is consistent with pressured communication under acute narcissistic injury. A secondary, lower-intensity escalation is visible in the morning cluster (8:16–8:52 AM EDT, five posts in 36 minutes), peaking with the Lincoln Project attack at intensity 0.78. --- ## III. Theme Analysis ### Dominant Themes (ranked by frequency) 1. **Federal indictment defense / Persecution narrative** (19 posts) — The gravitational center of the day. Nearly every post either directly addresses the indictment or functions as displacement from it. Framing ranges from institutional delegitimization ("Injustice Department," "Deranged Jack Smith," "Witch Hunt") to civilizational stakes-setting ("ELECTION INTERFERENCE!", "Country is FINISHED!!!"). 2. **DARVO / Projection onto Biden** (7 posts) — A coherent counter-narrative thread: Biden is the real criminal, took a $5M bribe, has secret documents; the DOJ selectively protects him. This projection operates with striking transparency — the specific accusation (endangering national security with documents) maps precisely onto Trump's own charges. 3. **Self-nation conflation / Martyrdom** (6 posts) — "AMERICA WENT TO SLEEP LAST NIGHT WITH TEARS IN ITS EYES," "They want to take away my FREEDOM because I will NEVER let them take away your FREEDOM." These posts collapse the boundary between Trump's personal legal crisis and national identity, converting criminal defendant status into persecuted-savior mythology. 4. **Loyalty enforcement / Rival devaluation** (5 posts) — Multi-directional: former loyalist Kelly is destroyed for disloyalty; Lincoln Project apostates are dehumanized; DeSantis is humiliated via polls; Schiff is targeted for prosecution. Each target represents a different betrayal taxonomy. 5. **Campaign / Supply-seeking** (5 posts) — MAGA slogan, fundraising URLs, poll numbers, "CHAMPION" praise for supporters. These posts maintain the grandiose pole and monetize the crisis. ### Theme Obsession **Obsession detected: Yes.** The federal indictment dominates 19/26 posts (73%), and even the remaining posts (golf club promotion, DeSantis polling, Greg praise) are interpreted by the commentary as displacement from the central wound. No post engages any topic — Blinken's China visit, the heat wave, the writers' strike — unrelated to the indictment or its psychological management. The day represents near-total cognitive capture by a single narcissistic injury. --- ## IV. Contradiction Detection ### Contradiction 1 (Moderate) - **Claim 1:** Charges are "fake" and constitute a "Witch Hunt" (ts_110555160117562870, ts_110555559348810761) - **Claim 2:** Indictment "must be immediately withdrawn" with "apology" (ts_110553954882978121) - **Tension:** If charges are fabricated, courts would dismiss them; demanding institutional withdrawal implies the charges have institutional reality that needs to be actively undone. ### Contradiction 2 (Major) - **Claim 1:** Trump is a persecuted victim whose freedom is being taken away (ts_110555097515387827) - **Claim 2:** Trump is the certain future president who will appoint special prosecutors and force witnesses to "flip" (ts_110555065295789588, ts_110555154696170022) - **Tension:** Simultaneous powerlessness and omnipotence — the narcissistic split rendered explicit within the same posting session. ### Contradiction 3 (Minor) - **Claim 1:** Charges came "the VERY SAME DAY" as Biden bribery evidence (ts_110555071495634772) - **Claim 2:** Commentary confirms the indictment preceded the FD-1023 discussion by approximately one day. - **Tension:** Temporal manipulation to construct conspiracy narrative. --- ## V. Hypomanic Indicators ### Posting Metrics - **Total posts:** 26 - **Posting window:** 8:16 AM – 7:17 PM EDT (11h 1m) - **Average rate:** 2.36 posts/hour - **Peak burst:** 10 posts in 33 minutes (1:22–1:55 PM EDT) = 18.2 posts/hour - **Earliest post:** 8:16 AM EDT (normal waking hours) - **Latest post:** 7:17 PM EDT (normal evening hours) - **Longest gap:** 3h 47m (8:52 AM – 12:39 PM EDT) ### Sleep Deprivation Assessment **Not indicated.** The posting window is entirely within normal waking hours. The 8:16 AM start and 7:17 PM end suggest a standard sleep-wake cycle. No overnight or pre-dawn posting detected. ### Hypomanic Episode Assessment **Threshold not met.** While the afternoon burst (10 posts in 33 minutes) shows pressured communication and the day's total output (26 posts) is elevated, these patterns are better explained by **reactive crisis posting** under extreme situational stress than by endogenous mood elevation. Key differentiators: (1) posting is confined to normal waking hours; (2) content is thematically coherent (indictment response) rather than showing the flight-of-ideas characteristic of hypomania; (3) the 3h 47m midday gap suggests capacity for behavioral regulation. The elevated output is proportionate to the unprecedented stressor. --- ## VI. Narrative Arc **Classification: Mixed** (attempted redemption contaminated by persistent rage) The day attempts a coherent arc — **wound → defiance → triumph** — but cannot sustain it: 1. **Morning (wound):** The day opens in injury-response mode. Kelly attack, national shame, apocalyptic stakes-setting. The wound is being processed through displacement and projection. 2. **Midday (pause):** Aide-managed posts create artificial calm. This is institutional functioning, not psychological resolution. 3. **Afternoon (escalation → attempted resolution):** The 1:22–1:55 PM burst cycles through the full narcissistic response repertoire in 33 minutes: supply-seeking → martyrdom → grandiose promises → DARVO → persecution framing → campaign triumphalism. The attempted resolution ("IN 2024, WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!") is immediately undermined by "ELECTION INTERFERENCE!" one minute later. 4. **Evening (unstable resolution):** Poll-bragging and MAGA messaging attempt grandiose closure, but the Schiff attack at 7:17 PM reveals the wound is still active. The day never achieves psychological resolution. Each attempted grandiose assertion is followed by another eruption of rage or victimhood, creating a recursive loop rather than a linear narrative. The narrative arc is **mixed** — elements of redemption, contamination, and chaos coexist without any single pattern dominating. --- ## VII. Event Correlation ### Primary Triggering Event **Federal Arraignment on 37 Felony Counts (June 13, 2023)** - **Reaction type:** All four simultaneously — defensive (legal arguments), offensive (Biden projection), dismissive ("fake charges"), and amplifying (escalating to civilizational stakes) - **Response posts:** Effectively all 26 posts are downstream of this single event - The arraignment functions not as a discrete trigger but as a persistent wound generating continuous reactive output three days later ### Non-Referenced Events Notably absent from the day's posting: Secretary Blinken's China visit (a major diplomatic event occurring on this exact date), Mike Pence's recent campaign launch (nine days prior), and the WGA writers' strike. The complete absence of any non-indictment topic underscores the degree of cognitive capture. --- ## VIII. Danger Assessment ### Maximum Danger Level: **Elevated** No single post reaches "high" or "critical" danger level, but the **aggregate pattern** across 15 elevated-danger posts constitutes a sustained threat environment: **Named targets with dehumanizing labels:** - Jack Smith: "Deranged" (ts_110555559348810761, ts_110555082543886119) - Biden: "VERY CROOKED," "most corrupt president in history" (ts_110555071495634772, ts_110555076860987041) - Biden's associates: "Thugs, Misfits, and Marxists" (ts_110555076860987041) - John Kelly: "weak," "VERY small brain" (ts_110553844161190711) - Lincoln Project: "Perverts and Misfits" (ts_110553984673009815) - Adam Schiff: "Shifty," "total lowlife" (ts_110556444095989854) - General opposition: "Radical Left Lunatics" (ts_110555089844761729) **Stochastic terrorism pattern assessment:** The day-level pattern approaches the threshold. Individual posts lack explicit calls to action, but the aggregate architecture — named targets + dehumanizing categorization + existential grievance articulation + implied moral necessity for resistance — constructs the preconditions for reader-inferred action. The Jack Smith targeting is particularly concerning given documented contemporaneous death threats against Smith and his family. The pattern is assessed as **present at the day level** even though no single post independently crosses the threshold. **Danger post IDs:** ts_110553844161190711, ts_110553875712988788, ts_110553954882978121, ts_110553984673009815, ts_110555065295789588, ts_110555057631814188, ts_110555071495634772, ts_110555076860987041, ts_110555082543886119, ts_110555089844761729, ts_110555097515387827, ts_110555154696170022, ts_110555160117562870, ts_110555559348810761, ts_110556444095989854 --- ## IX. Cognitive Concerns ### Aggregate Assessment No significant cognitive deterioration markers detected across the day's 26 posts. Two URL malformations (ts_110555496256496397, ts_110555583549191611) are noted — "TRUE!" and "Thank" concatenated into URL strings — but these are consistent with hasty manual posting rather than cognitive impairment. ### Markers Observed - **Factual distortions:** Multiple, but these are assessed as deliberate rhetorical strategy rather than confusion (e.g., "Chinatown" for Biden documents, "VERY SAME DAY" timing claim) - **Syntactic complexity:** Stable throughout the day; simpler posts reflect emotional activation and strategic brevity, not capacity limitation - **Vocabulary:** No paraphasic errors; neologisms ("DeSanctimonious," "DeSanctus," "Injustice Department") are intentional wordplay - **Coherence:** Thematic coherence is maintained across the entire 26-post session; no tangential or disorganized thinking detected ### Complexity Trend: **Stable** --- ## X. Authorship Distribution The day's posts show a clear multi-author channel: - **High-confidence authentic Trump (authorship ≥0.75):** 12 posts — characterized by ALL CAPS, emotional capitalization, derogatory nicknames, parenthetical asides, triple exclamation points, and stream-of-consciousness accumulation - **Probable aide-authored (authorship ≤0.35):** 5 posts — bare URL shares, polished campaign messaging, promotional content, business-hours timing with no linguistic fingerprint - **Mixed/ambiguous (0.35–0.75):** 9 posts — likely authentic emotional content with aide polish or coordination The aide-authored posts function as strategic counterweights: legal rationalization (Federalist article), brand maintenance (golf club), and campaign messaging (MAGA 2024 with fundraising URL) operate in parallel to the authentic emotional stream, suggesting a managed communications architecture even during acute crisis. --- ## XI. Defense Mechanism Inventory The day deploys the full narcissistic defense repertoire under maximum stress: 1. **DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender):** The dominant architecture. Present in at least 8 posts, most concentrated in the 1:22–1:55 PM burst. 2. **Projection:** Criminality, derangement, corruption, and democracy-destruction projected onto Biden, Jack Smith, Schiff, and the DOJ — precisely the accusations directed at Trump. 3. **Displacement:** Personal legal crisis → national crisis; personal shame → Biden's crimes; personal anxiety → DeSantis humiliation. 4. **Pathological distortion:** Arraignment as "breaking the seal" for retribution; indictment as "election interference"; prosecution as persecution. 5. **Splitting:** Binary friend/enemy categorization; supporters are "CHAMPIONS" and "STARS," opponents are "Perverts," "Misfits," "Lunatics," and "lowlifes." 6. **Denial:** Multiple posts proceed as if the arraignment did not occur or is illegitimate on its face. 7. **Reaction formation:** Maximum legal vulnerability converted to triumphalist assertion. 8. **Ego-syntonic sadism:** Kelly attack deploys private family information as a weapon with apparent relish. The sheer density of simultaneously active defense mechanisms is the day's most clinically significant feature — it indicates a self-structure under maximum threat deploying every available resource to prevent narcissistic collapse. ### Narrative The day attempts a wound-to-defiance-to-triumph redemption arc but cannot sustain it. Each grandiose resolution (MAGA 2024, poll dominance) is immediately undermined by another eruption of rage or victimhood (ELECTION INTERFERENCE, Schiff attack), creating a recursive loop rather than linear progression. The narrative oscillates between martyrdom and omnipotence without achieving stable resolution in either register, reflecting a self-structure under maximum threat that cannot fully contain the injury through any single defensive posture. ### Dominant themes - Federal indictment defense and persecution narrative (1 post) - DARVO and projection onto Biden (1 post) - Self-nation conflation and martyrdom (1 post) - Loyalty enforcement and rival devaluation (1 post) - Campaign supply-seeking and fundraising (1 post) ### Contradictions that day - [ts_110555160117562870](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110555160117562870): The federal charges are fake and constitute election interference — the prosecution itself is the crime vs. [ts_110553954882978121](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110553954882978121): The indictment must be immediately withdrawn by the DOJ with an apology — implicitly acknowledging the charges have institutional reality requiring active reversal - [ts_110555097515387827](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110555097515387827): They want to take away my FREEDOM — positioning as a powerless victim whose liberty is under threat vs. [ts_110555154696170022](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110555154696170022): He will flip in 2024, when I am President — expressing certainty of election victory and future omnipotence - [ts_110555071495634772](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110555071495634772): These fake charges came down the VERY SAME DAY evidence revealed Biden took a $5 million bribe vs. [ts_110555071495634772](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110555071495634772): The indictment was actually unsealed on June 9 and the FD-1023 discussion occurred afterward — the timing claim is factually false ### Cognitive concerns - Two URL malformations from manual posting errors (TRUE! and Thank concatenated into URL strings) — consistent with hasty composition, not cognitive impairment - Factual distortions are numerous but assessed as deliberate rhetorical strategy rather than confusion - No paraphasic errors, tangential thinking, or disorganized output detected across 26 posts - Syntactic complexity stable throughout the day; simpler posts reflect emotional activation rather than capacity limitation ## Posts ### [ts_110556444095989854](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110556444095989854) Truth Social · 2023-06-16T23:17:40.050Z (UTC) > RT: https://truthsocial.com/users/jsolomonreports/statuses/110556225395394833 Anna Paulina Luna is a STAR.

Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his: > This affidavit shows that the raid on Trump's home was a raid about nothing, and it wasn't disclosed voluntarily by the Justice Department. It is judicial watch that got access to this affidavit. We had to go to court to force it out. There was no authority for the Justice Department to ask a judge to authorize a subpoena to enforce the Presidential Records Act. And obviously, the judge had no authority to approve a warrant that had no basis in law. You know what it was about. It was about finding a reason to harass President Trump, try to jail him and try to prosecute him. And they misused the law, misstated the law, and in my view improperly got a judge to approve a warrant that had no good faith basis. The Biden operation, despite doing something so obviously abusive, so obviously political, so obviously unprecedented, had zero interest in disclosing anything. This affidavit, by the way, is evidence of abuse of authority, abuse of power, and government corruption. And I'm glad judicial watch got it out.

Trump, don't let the media tell you, "Oh, there's much more serious stuff in D.C. and in Jordan." No, it's all abusive, it's all political, it's all unprecedented, it's all pretextual, it's all designed to make him a political prisoner in a way that could upend our system of government. And we're supposed to pretend that's normal. That's just the rule of law, and it has nothing to do with the rule of law. It's something that, if it's allowed to continue, will significantly undermine the rule of law, undermine confidence in the fair administration of justice, undermine our Republican form of government, and make a mockery of the United States across the world. And I know the United States isn't perfect. I know there have been political prosecutions in the past, but no president has been subject to this type of politicized, abusive targeting like President Trump. 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies · unknown views --- ### [ts_110555562592808799](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110555562592808799) Truth Social · 2023-06-16T19:33:29.362Z (UTC) · repost > RT @TomFittonELECTION INTERFERENCE: The CORRUPTION Behind Biden Regime's Scheme to JAIL @realDonaldTrump!

This is one of three attacks on Trump from three Democrat political prosecutions across the country. You have the New York prosecution with Bragg and company. You have a prosecution and left-leaning jurisdiction of Fulton County, Georgia, where the leftist DA down there is trying to jail Trump over Trump's efforts to get the government down there to do its job to make sure the elections were free and fair and clean. And of course you have the other Democratic jurisdiction of Washington, D.C., in this case run by the leftists in the Biden administration, Joe Biden obviously being the president. This Justice Department is trying to jail Trump and others, based again on First Amendment-protected activity related to disputing the election and this absurd analysis or application of the law related to presidential records that seeks… (full transcript: https://trump.fm/post/ts_110555535958817009) 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies · unknown views --- ### [ts_110555508359707536](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110555508359707536) Truth Social · 2023-06-16T19:19:41.832Z (UTC) · repost > RT @JudicialWatchChris Farrell on Biden Family Corruption & Trump Indictment: https://youtu.be/ZQIZPxqPUdg Reposted from @JudicialWatch (Judicial Watch), 2023-06-14T15:05:25.555Z (UTC) (https://truthsocial.com/@JudicialWatch/110543183908761831) > Chris Farrell on Biden Family Corruption & Trump Indictment: https://youtu.be/ZQIZPxqPUdg 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies · unknown views --- ### [ts_110555496256496397](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110555496256496397) Truth Social · 2023-06-16T19:16:37.080Z (UTC) > RT: https://truthsocial.com/users/JudicialWatch/statuses/110548344183891069 TRUE! 8,936 likes · 2,379 reposts · 173 replies · unknown views Analysis: https://trump.fm/post/ts_110555496256496397/analysis --- ### [ts_110555179088343038](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110555179088343038) Truth Social · 2023-06-16T17:55:57.519Z (UTC) · 1 media attachment > WOW—A MUST WATCH! 15,319 likes · 6,061 reposts · 901 replies · unknown views Analysis: https://trump.fm/post/ts_110555179088343038/analysis --- ### [ts_110555160117562870](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110555160117562870) Truth Social · 2023-06-16T17:51:08.000Z (UTC) · 1 media attachment > ELECTION INTERFERENCE! https://www.donaldjtrump.com/ 14,587 likes · 4,491 reposts · 749 replies · unknown views Audio narration: https://static.trump.fm/audio/ts_110555160117562870.mp3 (a synthesized voice reading the post text, not a recording) Analysis: https://trump.fm/post/ts_110555160117562870/analysis --- ### [ts_110555154696170022](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110555154696170022) Truth Social · 2023-06-16T17:49:45.282Z (UTC) > Why would Devon Archer “flip” on Joe and Hunter Biden when the DOJ & FBI don’t want him to flip.

The absence of moral guardrails means that you are then going to use the federal government as nothing more than an imprisonment operation of your political dissidents. Trump represents radical honesty in politics. This is his appeal. For example, with Tucker Carlson, who did a terrific video yesterday, I encourage you to check it out. It's amazing. Trump just all of a sudden says, "Yeah, Iraq was a stupid war. You're not allowed to say that." Trump's appeal is that he says what other people are thinking. I know that this is something that is a significant desire of the people because when people come up to me and I get recognized, whatever they say, "Charlie, you say things I wish I could say," and I'm just like a micron of a peanut size versus Donald Trump's ability or communication or what he actually ends up exposing. This is existential. If you look at, for example, Trump says our borders are a disaster, rapists walk all over it. They aren't future superstars. We have too many people coming into the country.

In the end he was a “mummy” who sat in his office and stared at the ceiling - he was “shot.” I’ll never forget how his very nice wife told me that “John loves you, and respects you more than anyone, he will always say the BEST things about you.” Oh well, so much for that! 8,491 likes · 2,674 reposts · 498 replies · unknown views Audio narration: https://static.trump.fm/audio/ts_110553844161190711.mp3 (a synthesized voice reading the post text, not a recording) Analysis: https://trump.fm/post/ts_110553844161190711/analysis --- ### [ts_110553773502662857](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110553773502662857) Truth Social · 2023-06-16T11:58:29.937Z (UTC) · repost > RT @GeneHarvey Reposted from @GeneHarvey (MEME Hysteria), 2023-06-15T01:09:57.711Z (UTC) (https://truthsocial.com/@GeneHarvey/110545561040277568) _No text recovered._ - image: https://static-assets-1.truthsocial.com/tmtg:prime-ts-assets/media_attachments/files/110/545/560/812/857/693/original/bc89e7bd5f04f432.png 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies · unknown views --- ### [ts_110553744587011098](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110553744587011098) Truth Social · 2023-06-16T11:51:08.796Z (UTC) · repost > RT @CharliekirkSen.

Senator, you made some news yesterday about holding up nominees. Tell us about it. - Yeah, the basic idea, Charlie, is that Merrick Garland is using the political appointments of the Department of Justice as foot soldiers in a war of politics instead of a law enforcement agency. That's exactly what he's turned the Department of Justice into. And so what we've decided to do is use the authority that the people of Ohio gave me as a United States Senator and use that to gum up the works a little bit and to say to Merrick Garland that we're gonna hold the nominations that you have to the Department of Justice until you commit your agency to the job of law enforcement and criminal prosecution, not of politics. That's something we're able to do. That's an action that I felt was important to take. And I've heard from a lot of people, Charlie, they're sick of us just complaining about this problem. They want us to take action. They recognize we can't stop everything. We can't stop every nominee, but we can at least make it a little bit harder for Merrick Garland to use the government agencies to go after his political… (full transcript: https://trump.fm/post/ts_110553744587011098) 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies · unknown views --- ### [ts_110553735934515742](https://trump.fm/post/ts_110553735934515742) Truth Social · 2023-06-16T11:48:56.770Z (UTC) · repost > RT @CharliekirkCharlie Kirk: Why Mike Pence Needs to Drop Out of the 2024 Presidential RaceSubscribe to The Charlie Kirk Show: http://apple.co/2VCxGsh Reposted from @Charliekirk (Charlie Kirk), 2023-06-15T22:20:41.271Z (UTC) (https://truthsocial.com/@Charliekirk/110550557738597008) > Charlie Kirk: Why Mike Pence Needs to Drop Out of the 2024 Presidential Race > > Subscribe to The Charlie Kirk Show: http://apple.co/2VCxGsh - video: https://static-assets-1.truthsocial.com/tmtg:prime-ts-assets/media_attachments/files/110/550/531/942/841/502/original/8bae8ef9cce8c972.mp4 **Video transcript** (reposted clip, 7:22), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong.

I think that's a really important point. And Thomas Massey makes a very technical argument, but if I were to respectfully push back against Thomas Massey, who's been on this program, and I think he's right on a lot of different stuff. You think the Democrats really care about principle? The Democrats are bloodthirsty. The Democrats are indicting Trump and indicting Bannon and they raid James O'Keefe's apartment. I mean, these people are playing for keeps. We're not even playing the game. No, we are playing the game. We're playing baseball. The Democrats will not take us seriously unless they believe there is a cost to their criminality, if there is a cost to all the indecent acts against the country. Now the counter argument is like, well, look, we care about principles and they don't, therefore we're better than them. I think that's happy talk. And by the way, I don't think there's anything on principle about levying a fine against a traitor who used the chairmanship of the house intelligence committee to peddle a lie to destroy a presidency.
