# Posts from Wednesday, March 20, 2024 31 posts on 2024-03-20. ## Day analysis Day analysis page: https://trump.fm/date/2024-03-20/analysis _Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-04-11T19:54:18.912Z (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._ **Primary Victories Paper Over a Bond Crisis: Grandiosity as Legal Damage Control** Trump rode a wave of primary victories across five states, spending much of the day celebrating wins and sharing favorable media coverage. The mood darkened in the late morning with a sharp attack on General Mark Milley and grievance posts about accountability, before a dense afternoon burst revealed the day's real stress point: the civil fraud judgment and his inability to secure an appeal bond. A flash of high-intensity anger over the court ruling was quickly buried under legal arguments and a celebratory post about a Supreme Court immigration ruling. By evening, the tone had settled back into routine campaign messaging. - Posts analyzed: 23 - Dominant state: grandiose - Narrative arc: mixed - Aggregate rage level: 0.16 - Max danger level: elevated - Escalation detected - Claims: 41 (9 false) - Era: 2024 Campaign # Daily Psychological Digest: March 20, 2024 ## Location & Timezone Context Trump was at Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, Florida (EDT, UTC−4) on this date. All local times referenced below are EDT. ## I. Posting Chronology & Sleep Assessment Converting to local time, the day's 23 posts span from **8:05 PM EDT March 19** through **7:42 PM EDT March 20**. The critical overnight gap — last post at **11:30 PM EDT** (ts_112125899520212509, Arizona thank-you) to first morning post at **10:56 AM EDT** (ts_112128594308888374, Milley attack) — is **11 hours 26 minutes**, a healthy overnight window indicating no sleep deprivation. The posting pattern is entirely consistent with a normal waking schedule for someone based in South Florida. **Posting rhythm in local time:** - **8:05–11:30 PM (March 19):** 5 posts — primary victory celebration cluster - **10:56 AM–11:56 AM:** 6 posts — morning mixed cluster (grievance + supply) - **4:11–4:12 PM:** 10 posts — dense afternoon burst (~2 minutes, likely batch-scheduled) - **6:12–7:42 PM:** 4 posts — evening wind-down The 10-post afternoon burst at 4:11–4:12 PM is the most notable temporal anomaly. Posts arriving within seconds of each other — several bare-URL shares — almost certainly reflect aide-managed batch posting rather than authentic real-time engagement. This is consistent with a coordinated afternoon communications strategy. ## II. Psychological State Tracking ### Dominant State: **Grandiose** (17 of 23 posts) The day is overwhelmingly grandiose in posture. Seventeen posts project triumph, dominance, and electoral invincibility. Only three posts register as mixed (grandiose-vulnerable oscillation) and two as vulnerable. The vulnerable states are narrowly clustered in the afternoon legal-defense sequence. ### State Transitions The day exhibits a clean **grandiose → mixed → vulnerable → high-rage mixed → grandiose → baseline** arc: 1. **Grandiose plateau (8:05–11:30 PM March 19):** Five "THANK YOU [STATE]" posts and one retweet of a poll showing Trump "reigns supreme." Pure narcissistic supply intake from primary victories. Zero cognitive or emotional complexity. 2. **Transition to mixed (10:56 AM):** The Milley attack post (ts_112128594308888374) represents an abrupt tonal rupture. After ~11 hours of silence, the first morning post is not a continuation of the victory lap but a devaluation strike against a military critic. Rage emerges at 0.60 intensity. This shift suggests that overnight processing of the bond crisis and Milley's public criticism activated the grievance system. 3. **Grievance intensification (11:07–11:20 AM):** Three posts in rapid succession — "NO ONE HAS BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE" (ts_112128654626547785, rage 0.55), Biden Afghanistan blame-shift (ts_112128671793105408), and a Jesse Watters "Deep State" amplification (ts_112128691020021569). The accountability-void declaration is the most psychologically telling: the subject facing four criminal indictments and a $355M+ civil judgment declares that accountability is absent. This represents classic DARVO inversion. 4. **Brief compensatory recovery (11:56 AM):** The CNN billionaire fundraiser post (ts_112128830407497994) serves as a deliberate counter-narrative injection — projecting financial strength during the exact period when 30 surety companies had declined Trump's bond request. 5. **Afternoon vulnerability spike (4:11–4:12 PM):** The dense afternoon cluster contains the day's psychological core. Posts ts_112129835216337349 and ts_112129836734014776 share articles arguing 8th Amendment excessive-fines challenges to the civil fraud judgment — a shift to vulnerable-state injury processing via legal rationalization. Post ts_112129837073867729 amplifies a Fox legal analyst "torpedoing" the NY legal system. 6. **Peak rage (4:12 PM):** Post ts_112129838953558075 is the day's highest-intensity output (0.84) and peak rage event (0.78). The civil fraud judgment post is authentically Trump-authored (0.82 confidence) and exhibits textbook grandiose-vulnerable oscillation within a single post: claiming "COMPLETE VICTORY" while simultaneously framing the judgment as corrupt theft. The election interference frame — converting civil fraud into anti-democratic conspiracy — is the most significant rhetorical move, as it preemptively delegitimizes adverse legal outcomes. 7. **Compensatory recovery (4:12 PM):** Immediately following the rage peak, post ts_112129839281402647 pivots to the SCOTUS SB4 emergency stay — a favorable ruling that provides grandiose supply. The intra-minute transition from peak rage to triumphant policy commentary is consistent with narcissistic rapid-cycling under acute stress. 8. **Return to baseline (6:12–7:42 PM):** Four posts of routine grandiose maintenance — Lee Greenwood nostalgia, economic attack on Biden, Arizona thank-you, self-retweet. ## III. Escalation Detection **Escalation detected: Yes — spike pattern, not gradual spiral.** The rage trajectory is bimodal rather than linear: - **Morning cluster (10:56–11:15 AM):** Moderate rage (0.55–0.60) directed at Milley and the accountability frame - **5-hour gap of low-intensity posting** - **Afternoon spike (4:12 PM):** Peak rage (0.78) on the civil fraud judgment This is not a classic rage spiral where each post feeds the next. Instead, it reflects two distinct injury-processing episodes — the Milley criticism and the bond/judgment crisis — separated by hours. The afternoon spike is disproportionate to any single proximate trigger and likely represents cumulative stress discharge: the bond crisis, judgment anxiety, and Milley criticism converging. **Peak post:** ts_112129838953558075 (civil fraud judgment, rage 0.78, intensity 0.84) ## IV. Theme Analysis ### Primary Themes 1. **Primary Victory Celebration (7 posts, 30%):** The "THANK YOU [STATE]" template posts (Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Arizona ×2, Ohio) plus primary coverage links. These are the day's structural backbone — low-effort, aide-produced supply-maintenance posts that bookend the psychologically significant middle. 2. **Legal/Financial Defense (5 posts, 22%):** The RBG/8th Amendment articles, Mediaite Fox legal analyst link, and the civil fraud judgment attack. This cluster is the day's psychological center of gravity. Every post in this group functions as either rationalization (the judgment is constitutionally excessive), projection (the system is corrupt, not the subject), or grandiose denial (he already "WON" on the statute of limitations). 3. **Military/Accountability Grievance (3 posts, 13%):** The Milley "loser" attack, "NO ONE HAS BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE" declaration, and Biden Afghanistan hearing post. These form a coherent mini-narrative: identify a military villain (Milley), declare a justice vacuum, attribute blame to Biden. 4. **Media/Supply Amplification (4 posts, 17%):** Jesse Watters Deep State segment, Rasheed Walters Substack, Breitbart NYC exodus piece, and economy video. These are routine right-media ecosystem amplification — maintaining presence and ideological reinforcement. 5. **Immigration/Policy (1 post, 4%):** The SCOTUS SB4 post, which doubles as compensatory grandiosity positioned immediately after peak rage. ### Theme Obsession Assessment No single-topic obsession is present. The day cycles through multiple domains (primaries, Milley, legal crisis, immigration, economy). However, the legal/financial crisis functions as a **hidden gravitational center** — posts that don't explicitly address it (billionaire fundraiser, primary wins) are contextually legible as compensatory responses to the bond crisis. The day's posting architecture can be read as a communications strategy to surround the legal vulnerability with signals of strength. ## V. Contradiction Detection ### Intra-Day Contradictions 1. **"COMPLETE VICTORY" vs. 8th Amendment defense (Minor):** Post ts_112129838953558075 claims a "COMPLETE VICTORY" on the statute of limitations that should nullify the judgment. Yet posts ts_112129835216337349 and ts_112129836734014776, shared minutes earlier, argue for an 8th Amendment excessive-fines challenge to the same judgment. If the victory were truly "complete," alternative constitutional arguments would be unnecessary. This reflects parallel defensive strategies operating from incompatible premises. 2. **"No one held accountable" vs. subject's own legal exposure (Moderate):** Post ts_112128654626547785 declares "NO ONE HAS BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE" on the same day the subject is demonstrably unable to meet the accountability requirements of a civil fraud judgment — having been rejected by 30 surety companies. Additionally, Trump himself faced four criminal indictments and multiple associates had been convicted. The universal negation is factually inverted. 3. **CNN as credible source (Minor):** Post ts_112128830407497994 shares CNN coverage without caveat to project billionaire support, despite CNN's standard designation as "fake news" in Trump's rhetorical framework. The instrumentalization of media credibility — enemy outlets become useful when flattering — is consistent but logically contradictory. ## VI. Hypomanic Episode Assessment **Does not meet threshold for hypomanic episode.** - **Post count (23):** Elevated but contextually appropriate for a primary victory night + next day. The count is inflated by 5 template "THANK YOU" posts and a 10-post batch-scheduled afternoon cluster. - **Sleep gap (11h 26m):** Healthy overnight window. No evidence of sleep deprivation. - **Post frequency:** Approximately 65th percentile — above average but not abnormal for a major political event day. - **Content coherence:** All posts are topically appropriate and contextually motivated. No tangential or fragmented content suggestive of pressured thought. - **Burst pattern:** The 10-post afternoon burst is better explained by aide batch-posting than by manic activity. ## VII. Narrative Arc **Classification: Mixed (Victory → Vulnerability → Recovery)** The day follows a three-act structure: **Act I (Evening March 19):** Triumph. Five primary victories provide pure narcissistic supply. The "reigns supreme" retweet is the crescendo. **Act II (Late Morning–Afternoon March 20):** Vulnerability surfaces. The morning Milley attack signals that the grievance system has activated. The afternoon cluster reveals the bond crisis as the day's unacknowledged antagonist — a sequence of increasingly desperate legal arguments builds to the day's peak rage event, where grandiosity and victimhood collide in a single post claiming simultaneous victory and persecution. **Act III (Late Afternoon–Evening):** Recovery via displacement. The SCOTUS SB4 ruling provides a convenient grandiose exit ramp from the rage state. Evening posts return to baseline campaign messaging. This arc doesn't fit cleanly into contamination (victory → victimhood) because the victories are maintained throughout — they're never abandoned, only temporarily eclipsed. Nor is it pure redemption (setback → comeback) because the legal crisis remains unresolved. "Mixed" best captures the oscillation between triumphant and embattled states. ## VIII. Event Correlation ### Triggering Events 1. **March 19 Republican Primaries (FL, IL, KS, OH, AZ):** Triggered the victory lap posts. Reaction type: **amplifying**. Trump won all five states decisively, providing a durable supply source that anchored the day's grandiose baseline. 2. **$454M Civil Fraud Bond Crisis:** The single most important contextual event. Reporting on March 18-19 revealed that Trump's team had approached ~30 surety companies without securing the appeal bond. This triggered the legal defense cluster (8th Amendment articles, civil fraud judgment attack) and is the invisible engine behind compensatory posts (billionaire fundraiser). Reaction type: **defensive**. 3. **Mark Milley Public Criticism:** Milley (or media coverage of his critical comments) triggered the "loser" devaluation post. Reaction type: **offensive** — direct character attack rather than substance engagement. 4. **Afghanistan Withdrawal Hearing:** Congressional hearing on the withdrawal provided an aide-managed opportunity to redirect accountability toward Biden. Reaction type: **offensive**. 5. **SCOTUS SB4 Emergency Stay:** The temporary ruling allowing Texas to enforce SB4 was seized as a supply vehicle and positioned as a personal victory. Reaction type: **amplifying**. (The stay was reversed two days later.) ## IX. Danger Assessment ### Maximum Danger Level: **Elevated** (4 posts) Four posts reached elevated danger: - **ts_112128594308888374 (Milley):** Names a specific retired military officer as a "loser who shamed us." While routine devaluation by Trump baseline standards, naming a specific individual with a "shamed the nation" frame has stochastic potential if sustained. - **ts_112128654626547785 ("No one held accountable"):** Creates an accountability void that followers can fill with their preferred targets. Dangerous in pattern rather than isolation. - **ts_112129838953558075 (Civil fraud judgment):** The election interference frame — converting legal proceedings into anti-democratic conspiracy — is the most dangerous rhetorical move of the day. It provides followers with a framework for rejecting institutional legitimacy. - **ts_112129839281402647 (SCOTUS SB4):** The "invaded by land, by sea, and by air" warfare language applied to civilian migration, arriving four days after the "bloodbath" rally speech, contributes to an escalatory rhetorical window. The false labeling of Republican Dade Phelan as "liberal" demonstrates willingness to designate ingroup members as traitors. ### Stochastic Terrorism Pattern: **Not established at day level** While individual elements are present — naming specific targets (Milley), creating accountability voids, using warfare language, delegitimizing institutions — these are scattered across different topics and targets rather than forming a focused campaign against a single target. The day's danger profile is ambient rather than directed. ## X. Cognitive Concerns - **Insufficient original text for robust assessment:** 17 of 23 posts are template phrases, bare URLs, or aide-produced content with no authentic Trump language to analyze. - **Civil fraud judgment post (ts_112129838953558075):** The longest authentic-Trump text of the day. Shows stream-of-consciousness grievance structure with legal-argument scaffolding. Coherent within its own frame. Sentence complexity and vocabulary are within established baseline ranges. - **No novel cognitive markers detected.** No word-finding difficulties, neologisms, or syntactic breakdowns. - **Complexity trend: Stable** — insufficient evidence to detect change from baseline. ## XI. Authorship Distribution The day's posts divide sharply between aide-produced content and authentic Trump output: - **Low authorship confidence (≤0.25):** 16 posts — template thank-yous, bare URLs, video shares. These constitute the day's structural scaffolding and represent a coordinated communications operation. - **Moderate authorship confidence (0.25–0.50):** 3 posts — including the SCOTUS SB4 post, suggesting collaborative (aide-scaffolded with Trump insertions) composition. - **High authorship confidence (≥0.72):** 4 posts — the Milley attack (0.78), the "reigns supreme" retweet selection (0.72), the civil fraud judgment attack (0.82), and the economy post (0.45 — borderline). The emotionally significant posts are authentic; the infrastructure is aide-managed. This distribution reveals the communications team operating in active damage-control mode: surrounding Trump's genuine emotional output with curated supply and narrative construction. ## XII. Day-Level Synthesis March 20, 2024 is a study in **narcissistic supply management under acute legal-financial threat**. The primary victories provide a genuine supply windfall, but the bond crisis — Trump's inability to secure the appeal bond after 30 rejections — functions as the day's suppressed center of gravity. The day's communications architecture is legible as a deliberate (likely aide-constructed) defensive formation: primary wins establish strength, the billionaire fundraiser projects financial confidence, the SCOTUS ruling demonstrates policy influence, and friendly media links reinforce the supportive ecosystem. Into this scaffolding, Trump inserts his authentic emotional responses — the Milley devaluation and the civil fraud rage post — which break the managed tone and reveal the underlying stress state. The most clinically significant output is the civil fraud judgment post (ts_112129838953558075), which performs the critical psychological operation of converting legal accountability into political persecution. This is not merely rhetorical strategy; it reflects a narcissistic defense structure in which any external judgment must be reframed as illegitimate attack to preserve the grandiose self-concept. The simultaneous claims of "COMPLETE VICTORY" and systemic persecution within a single post epitomize the grandiose-vulnerable oscillation characteristic of narcissistic injury processing. The day's danger profile is **elevated but not acute** — concentrated in institutional delegitimization and warfare-language immigration rhetoric rather than targeted incitement. The four-day proximity to the "bloodbath" rally speech makes the SB4 invasion language contextually more concerning than it would be in isolation. ### Narrative A three-act day: primary victories establish grandiose baseline, the bond crisis and Milley criticism activate grievance processing through midday, and the afternoon peak-rage civil fraud post discharges accumulated stress before the SCOTUS SB4 ruling provides a compensatory exit ramp back to baseline grandiosity. The legal-financial crisis is the suppressed center of gravity around which the entire day's communications architecture is organized. ### Dominant themes - Primary victory celebration and electoral supply-seeking (1 post) - Legal/financial defense against civil fraud judgment and bond crisis (1 post) - Military/accountability grievance (Milley, Afghanistan, Biden) (1 post) - Right-media ecosystem amplification and maintenance (1 post) - Immigration enforcement and border policy (1 post) ### Contradictions that day - [ts_112129838953558075](https://trump.fm/post/ts_112129838953558075): Claims COMPLETE VICTORY on statute of limitations that should nullify the civil fraud judgment vs. [ts_112129835216337349](https://trump.fm/post/ts_112129835216337349): Shares articles arguing for 8th Amendment excessive-fines challenge to the same judgment — unnecessary if victory were truly complete - [ts_112128654626547785](https://trump.fm/post/ts_112128654626547785): Declares NO ONE HAS BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE vs. [ts_112129838953558075](https://trump.fm/post/ts_112129838953558075): Simultaneously unable to meet accountability requirements of civil fraud judgment after 30 bond rejections; subject himself faces four criminal indictments ### Cognitive concerns - Insufficient original text for robust assessment — 17 of 23 posts are template phrases, bare URLs, or aide-produced content - Civil fraud judgment post shows stream-of-consciousness structure with legal-argument scaffolding, within established baseline range - No word-finding difficulties, neologisms, or syntactic breakdowns detected in authentic-Trump posts ## Posts ### [ts_112130665300174805](https://trump.fm/post/ts_112130665300174805) Truth Social · 2024-03-20T23:42:49.247Z (UTC) · 1 media attachment > RT: https://truthsocial.com/users/realDonaldTrump/statuses/112130259680895474 Reposted [ts_112130259680895474](https://trump.fm/post/ts_112130259680895474) (2024-03-20T21:59:39.987Z (UTC)) - video: https://static-assets-1.truthsocial.com/tmtg:prime-ts-assets/media_attachments/files/112/130/259/456/997/243/original/8546083eaa805214.mp4 15,356 likes · 3,806 reposts · 692 replies · unknown views Analysis: https://trump.fm/post/ts_112130665300174805/analysis --- ### [ts_112130654443510221](https://trump.fm/post/ts_112130654443510221) Truth Social · 2024-03-20T23:40:03.587Z (UTC) · 1 media attachment > THANK YOU, ARIZONA.

No one's talking about this great, great deal. So again, if it turns out that what I've done so far, what we've done so far, is a mistake, it's going to show. On issue number one of the economy, it's a pretty poor outlook from the American people. If Biden is not getting good marks on the economy right now, only 31% say that they approve of Biden's handling of the economy. Only 36% believe Biden can make good decisions on economic policy. That's a 20 point drop since 2021. I wonder why. 49% bad, 26% good in terms of how people feel about Bidenomics. It's in the cellar. 33, 62 on the economy. He's almost as much underwater as he's ever been. 78% of voters view the economy negatively and 67% say the worst isn't over yet. His handling of inflation in particular remains low. President Biden's rating on handling inflation at higher prices is underwater by 40 points. A lot of people think that prices would continue to go up under his policies. We should see a 10 point advantage for Republicans on the issue of the economy. 12,217 likes · 3,623 reposts · 706 replies · unknown views Audio narration: https://static.trump.fm/audio/ts_112130590654717329.mp3 (a synthesized voice reading the post text, not a recording) Analysis: https://trump.fm/post/ts_112130590654717329/analysis --- ### [ts_112130587185640109](https://trump.fm/post/ts_112130587185640109) Truth Social · 2024-03-20T23:22:57.297Z (UTC) · repost > RT @realDonaldTrumpJesse Watters: “Deep State Opener, Media Cooking Up More Hoaxes, Limbaugh Warned Us” Reposted from @realDonaldTrump (Donald J.

Take a look at some of these highlights or for Joe, low lights. On 11 April 2021, I received orders from President Biden through the secretary of defense to execute a full military withdrawal by 11 September 2021, a date which was subsequently modified to the end of August. This decision did not include the withdrawal of our embassy, our citizens, and at-risk Afghans. It's important to understand that we had a complete plan to execute that task as well, but we're not ordered to do so. The president's decision was to maintain an embassy, to not require our citizens to leave, and of course, to not expedite the extraction of at-risk Afghans. This was not a military decision. As you are aware, the decision to begin a NEO rests with the Department of State, not the Department of Defense. Despite this, we had begun positioning forces in the region as early as 9 July, but we could do nothing, nothing to… (full transcript: https://trump.fm/post/ts_112130586944893782) 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies · unknown views --- ### [ts_112130586284221184](https://trump.fm/post/ts_112130586284221184) Truth Social · 2024-03-20T23:22:43.560Z (UTC) · repost > RT @realDonaldTrump“NO ONE HAS BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE” Reposted from @realDonaldTrump (Donald J.

Thanks to House Republicans and Gold Star families who refused to take silence for an answer, former Biden officials were forced to sit and answer questions today on that disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. Now, without naming names, the generals denied they were at fault. - If there is culpability in this attack, it lies in policy decisions that created the environment of August 2021 in Kabul. - Do you believe that if State and DOD were on the same page that Bagram could have remained a viable option? - Once you go below 2.5K for US forces, you can't hold Bagram. At 2.5, I was enthusiastic about holding Bagram. - Presidents make decisions, and once that decision's made, we execute. - The refusal to abide by the recommendations that both of you made would have preserved the option to maintain Bagram. Would Bagram have been a preferable strategic exit? - All things being equal, you'd prefer to have Bagram at 2.5K. - What the generals are saying is that the resources and troop levels were not sufficient for a safe withdrawal from both Abigail and Bagram. How strenuously, though, did they argue that point?

Biased, Crooked, and Incompetent Judge Engoron, who should NEVER have presided over this case, completely ignored the fact I ALREADY WON most of this case in the first Appeal. Applying the proper Statute of Limitations wipes out @ $350 Million of the Judgment!!

Operation Mockingbird, the CIA's plan to bait journalists with hoaxes disguised as scoops, got exposed. Do you have any people being paid by the CIA who are contributing to a major circulation American Journal? We do have people who submit pieces to other two American journals. Langley was laundering narratives to the press and into the public's veins. The most trusted names in news were working wittingly or unwittingly as deep state conduits of disinformation. At least 22 American news organizations, from the New York Times to Life magazine to CBS, had journalists on the CIA payroll. At CBS we had been contacted by the CIA as a matter of fact by the time I became the head of the whole news and public affairs operation in 1954. Ships had been established and I was told about them and asked if I'd carry on with them. And the cover-up continues. Although the lies are more blatant now. There is no deep state.

Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his: > So far, in just over three years as president, Biden has already presided over a record-breaking 11 partial and full embassy evacuations. And earlier today, his failure and weakness on the world stage, they're on full display during the House hearing on his botched Afghanistan withdrawal. Take a look at some of these highlights or for Joe, low lights. On 11 April 2021, I received orders from President Biden through the secretary of defense to execute a full military withdrawal by 11 September 2021, a date which was subsequently modified to the end of August. This decision did not include the withdrawal of our embassy, our citizens, and at-risk Afghans. It's important to understand that we had a complete plan to execute that task as well, but we're not ordered to do so. The president's decision was to maintain an embassy, to not require our citizens to leave, and of course, to not expedite the extraction of at-risk Afghans. This was not a military decision. As you are aware, the decision to begin a NEO rests with the Department of State, not the Department of Defense. Despite this, we had begun positioning forces in the region as early as 9 July, but we could do nothing, nothing to… (full transcript: https://trump.fm/post/ts_112128671793105408) 14,167 likes · 3,949 reposts · 640 replies · unknown views Audio narration: https://static.trump.fm/audio/ts_112128671793105408.mp3 (a synthesized voice reading the post text, not a recording) Analysis: https://trump.fm/post/ts_112128671793105408/analysis --- ### [ts_112128654626547785](https://trump.fm/post/ts_112128654626547785) Truth Social · 2024-03-20T15:11:28.801Z (UTC) · 1 media attachment > “NO ONE HAS BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE” **Video transcript** (9:35), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong.

Without this support, it was my view at the time that it was only a matter of when not if the Afghan government would collapse and the Taliban would take control."
