# Posts from Monday, February 23, 2026 24 posts on 2026-02-23. ## Day analysis Day analysis page: https://trump.fm/date/2026-02-23/analysis _Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-09-23T06:57:17.823Z (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._ **He demoted the "supreme court" to lowercase, then threatened higher tariffs than the ones it had just struck down** Trump spent the day still chewing on the Supreme Court ruling that struck down his tariffs three days earlier, and by early morning he was announcing he would write "supreme court" in lowercase until further notice. He insisted the loss had actually handed him more power, then threatened any country that tries to "play games" with the decision with even steeper tariffs — while his administration quietly signed a proclamation routing around the ruling under a different law. The middle of the day was a burst of borrowed praise: Border Patrol union endorsements, Fox segments, a Florida campaign announcement. He resurfaced after a six-hour afternoon silence to publicly correct reports that his top general opposes war with Iran, then closed on a friendly note about saving Utah's Great Salt Lake. A poll putting his approval at a record low, a blizzard shutting down New York, and a canal-ports win in Panama all went unmentioned. - Posts analyzed: 19 - Dominant state: mixed - Narrative arc: redemption - Aggregate rage level: 0.42 - Max danger level: elevated - Escalation detected - Theme obsession: the Supreme Court's IEEPA tariff ruling - Claims: 21 (9 false) - Era: Second Term ## Nine-forty at night, and the ruling is still open Twenty-four posts, 02:40 to 21:25 UTC. Eastern Standard Time puts him at 9:40 PM Sunday through 4:25 PM Monday, and nothing in the day's content suggests travel: the Section 122 proclamation signed that day, the Fox-segment amplifications and the Utah outreach all read as a Washington or Palm Beach desk. Nineteen posts carry written text or spoken media analyzed individually; the remaining five are reposts of his own posts, four of them landing within two minutes of the original they point at. The day begins the night before it, with two wordless videos posted in the same minute. The first argues Iranian diplomacy is a fantasy — "They're going to become boy scouts and girl scouts. No more terrorism" — and the second is a nine-point legal rebuttal to the Supreme Court's 6-3 IEEPA ruling from three days earlier: "There's opinions within opinions. It's a mess." Neither carries a caption, so what is analyzable is the choosing. Four minutes later he writes six words of his own: "We're Winning too much, it's just not fair! President DJT" (ts_116117644453675365). Grievance selected, triumph authored, inside four minutes. Then eight hours with nothing — 02:44 to 10:39 UTC, 9:44 PM to 5:39 AM local. That is a full night by his standards and it is the single strongest argument against a hypomanic reading of a busy day. The morning restart is a screenshot of Justin Trudeau's "You can't take our country — and you can't take our game," reposted twice within a minute over "Eye of the Tiger" (ts_116119514074619374 and the two 10:40 reposts). The Milan-Cortina Games had closed the previous day and the prior day's posts were celebratory; resurfacing a year-old taunt under Rocky music fits a victory lap, though the post itself asserts nothing, so the read rests on the pairing rather than on words. ## 7:03 AM: the demotion Eighty-four minutes after the Trudeau screenshot, intensity goes from 0.30 to 0.82. ts_116119845947410324 opens "The supreme court (will be using lower case letters for a while based on a complete lack of respect!)" and then performs the day's central operation: the loss becomes a gain. The Court "accidentally and unwittingly gave me, as President of the United States, far more powers and strength than I had prior to their ridiculous, dumb, and very internationally divisi[ve]" decision. Withholding a capital letter as punishment, splitting the bench into "the Great Three" and an incompetent majority, framing the outcome as serving China, and pre-discrediting the pending birthright citizenship ruling are four moves in one post. The closing "I have a job to do" positions the Court as an obstacle in the path of work rather than a limit on it. Three minutes later the same text goes up again (ts_116119857222583140). Two posts, one act of composition — the archive's usual explanation is a repost to fix wording, and the escalation curve should be read through it once, not twice. The rage does not resolve; it changes subject. From 13:53 to 14:08 UTC (8:53 to 9:08 AM) he posts five items of immigration-enforcement content and reposts three of them: two Border Patrol Union endorsement screenshots, a Paul Perez segment in which Trump himself says local officials seeking federal help "have to say please," and a second Perez segment carrying his own on-camera line that agents spat on "could do something back... not a pleasant thing for the person." That last one (ts_116120307771986643) is the day's most consequential selection. It sits beside Tom Homan urging calm after an agent's death and Walz's "Gestapo" remark, and the juxtaposition leaves an endorsement of physical reprisal by state actors standing without a restraining word. No target is named and nothing is asked of the audience, which is what holds it at elevated rather than higher. ## 9:34 AM: the threat, and the route around Two posts, fifteen minutes apart, close the tariff thread. "Any Country that wants to 'play games' with the ridiculous supreme court decision, especially those that have 'Ripped Off' the U.S.A. for years... will be met with a much higher Tariff, and worse" (ts_116120439459742948), signed with the full formal "President DONALD J. TRUMP" — the gravitas display arriving exactly where the actual authority was cut. Then ts_116120496650075903: "As President, I do not have to go back to Congress to get approval of Tariffs. It has already been gotten, in many forms, a long time ago! They were also just reaffirmed by the ridiculous and poorly crafted supreme court decision!" The word doing the work there is "reaffirmed." The ruling invalidated the authority and ordered refunds against more than $175 billion in collections; his own amplified video from the night before summarizes the holding correctly, that "the tariffs were not authorized by Congress in a 1977 law." Reading a 6-3 loss as a reaffirmation is the same operation as reading it as a grant of "far more powers," and the two readings are themselves incompatible with each other — authority already "gotten... a long time ago" cannot also have been newly expanded by the decision that removed it. Behind the posts, the day's actual move was procedural: a proclamation imposing a 10% temporary surcharge on all imports under Section 122 of the 1930 Act, effective the 24th for 150 days. That is a real workaround inside a real statute, and it explains the day's only long daytime gap — 14:49 to 20:48 UTC, six hours off the feed between 9:49 AM and 3:48 PM. ## Afternoon: three link-shares, a war post, and a lake He comes back flat. Three Boston Herald links on Massachusetts SNAP and MassHealth fraud (ts_116121908532528608, ts_116121978283687613, ts_116121982523217082), bare URLs at 0.10–0.15 intensity, two of them a month old. Then ts_116121997925438698 rises sharply: reports that Gen. Daniel "Razin" Caine opposes war with Iran are "100% incorrect," Caine "would love to see a Deal made," and "if we don't make a Deal, it will be a very bad day," with prior strikes recalled as having "blown to smithereens." The post corrects a subordinate's reported position in public, keeps the decision explicitly his own, and pairs a war threat with sympathy for Iranian civilians. It also sits awkwardly against the clip he amplified nineteen hours earlier, which treats the possibility of a deal as a joke. The day ends on the Great Salt Lake (ts_116122053850516272) — "It is of tremendous interest to me... The people of Utah are spectacular," with Gov. Cox named as a partner. Benefactor register, no adversary, 0.30 intensity. Whatever the morning was, it is over by 4:25 PM. ## What the day rests on Seven of nineteen analyzed posts carry rage, peaking at 0.75 in the two 7 AM Court posts; average intensity across the analyzed set is 0.39, held down by eight near-inert link-shares and amplifications. Seven posts reach elevated danger, none above it, and they cluster in two places: judicial delegitimization and the reprisal clip. Nothing across the day names a person or place to act on, which is the distinction between this pattern and incitement. Fourteen of nineteen posts scored grandiose and four mixed, but the four mixed posts hold the day's top intensities, and the grandiosity around them is the compensatory kind — third-party praise chosen rather than written, a loss restated as a win, a signature block deployed where power was curtailed. Cognitively there is nothing new: the confusion in the tariff posts about licenses, fees and congressional approval matches his long-standing handling of legal mechanics rather than any change in it, and sentence construction in the long posts holds together across several clauses. Two absences are worth recording. A CNN/SSRS poll released that day put his approval at 36% and at 26% among independents, the lowest of either term, and drew no response. Neither did a blizzard that shut New York, nor Panama's seizure of the canal ports from CK Hutchison — an outcome he had pressed for, and the kind of win he usually claims within hours. The shape, then: a defeat he could not put down at 9:40 PM, an eruption at 7:03 AM, a detour through borrowed praise, a threat at 9:34, a statutory workaround signed off-camera, and an evening spent as commander-in-chief and patron. The comeback is real in the proclamation and rhetorical in the posts, and the posts are where the claim of victory had to be made. ### Narrative The day is built around a loss he refuses to hold as one. It opens late Sunday night with two videos he didn't write — one dismissing any Iran deal, one picking apart the Supreme Court's tariff ruling — followed four minutes later by six words of his own: "We're Winning too much, it's just not fair!" After a full night's gap, the ruling comes back at 7:03 AM in the day's angriest post, where he demotes the Court to lowercase and claims the defeat "accidentally" made him more powerful. From there the story is recovery: an hour of immigration content in which other people praise him, a threat of steeper tariffs on anyone who treats the ruling as a reprieve, and, off the feed, a proclamation imposing a 10% surcharge under a different statute. By evening he is issuing war-decision authority on Iran and offering to save a lake in Utah. The comeback is genuine in the paperwork and asserted in the posts, and the posts are where the win had to be declared. ### Dominant themes - The Supreme Court's tariff ruling and the Court's standing (1 post) - Immigration enforcement amplified through others' praise (1 post) - Third-party validation and victory framing (1 post) - Welfare fraud in Massachusetts (1 post) - Iran and who decides on war (1 post) ### Contradictions that day - [ts_116120496650075903](https://trump.fm/post/ts_116120496650075903): His tariff authority was "just reaffirmed by the ridiculous and poorly crafted supreme court decision" vs. [ts_116117631579794905](https://trump.fm/post/ts_116117631579794905): The video he amplified nine hours earlier states the Court held "the tariffs were not authorized by Congress in a 1977 law" - [ts_116119845947410324](https://trump.fm/post/ts_116119845947410324): The Court "accidentally and unwittingly gave me... far more powers and strength than I had prior" vs. [ts_116120496650075903](https://trump.fm/post/ts_116120496650075903): Tariff approval "has already been gotten, in many forms, a long time ago" - [ts_116117631298819684](https://trump.fm/post/ts_116117631298819684): The amplified clip treats an Iran agreement as absurd on its face — they would "become boy scouts and girl scouts" vs. [ts_116121997925438698](https://trump.fm/post/ts_116121997925438698): "General Caine, like all of us, would love to see a Deal made" ### Cognitive concerns - Tariff posts conflate licensing fees, congressional approval and the struck-down IEEPA authority into a single muddled argument — consistent with his long-standing handling of legal mechanics rather than a change in it - Near-identical text posted three minutes apart (ts_116119845947410324, ts_116119857222583140), most plausibly a repost rather than a memory lapse - Five self-reposts, four of them within two minutes of the original post they point at - Two of the three Massachusetts fraud links are roughly a month old and shared as bare URLs with no comment ## Posts ### [ts_116122053850516272](https://trump.fm/post/ts_116122053850516272) Truth Social · 2026-02-23T21:25:25.248Z (UTC) > Very important to save The Great Salt Lake in Utah.

The story does not attribute this vast wealth of knowledge to anyone, and is 100% incorrect. General Caine, like all of us, would like not to see War but, if a decision is made on going against Iran at a Military level, it is his opinion that it will be something easily won. He knows Iran well in that he was in charge of Midnight Hammer, the attack on the Iranian Nuclear Development. It is a Development no longer, but rather, was blown to smithereens by our Great B-2 Bombers. Razin Caine is a Great Fighter, and represents the Most Powerful Military anywhere in the World. He has not spoken of not doing Iran, or even the fake limited strikes that I have been reading about, he only knows one thing, how to WIN and, if he is told to do so, he will be leading the pack. Everything that has been written about a potential War with Iran has been written incorrectly, and purposefully so. I am the one that makes the decision, I would rather have a Deal than not but, if we don't make a Deal, it will be a very bad day for that Country and, very sadly, its people, because they are great and wonderful, and something like this should never have happened to them. PRESIDENT DONALD J.

The profile picture is a dark circular badge/seal icon. The post is a lengthy text statement criticizing the Biden administration's border policy, crediting the Trump administration and named officials for border security, and voicing support for mass deportation. It mentions and tags @POTUS Trump, @SecWar Hegseth, @Sec_Noem, and @RealTomHoman as blue hyperlinked mentions, along with a #shutdown hashtag link. The post is timestamped and shows a view count at the bottom. Text in the image: "Border Patrol Union - NBPC ✓ @BPUnion For the entire 4 years of the Biden administration's destructive term, his team allowed unfettered access and ceded complete control of our border to the Mexican cartels, so it's no surprise to anyone that the cartels were able to obtain the military-grade weapons & equipment that they currently possess. The amount of money that Biden and Border "Czar" Kamala Harris allowed the cartels to earn by encouraging (and facilitating) the unprecedented invasion at our borders is staggering and has allowed them to strengthen themselves with members and resources that rival foreign militaries. The ongoing DHS #shutdown only emboldens them. Fortunately for America, and with the STRONG support of @POTUS Trump, @SecWar Hegseth, @Sec_Noem & @RealTomHoman, we have the world's BEST military and border security agency (USBP) staffed by patriots who are deployed to protect & secure our borders. The chaos caused by Biden on the border extended into the interior of our great country, which is why we will continue the largest deportation operation in the history of this country! Millions of people from around the world were allowed in, many of whom were already criminals and who have gone on to commit horrendous crimes against our citizens, but their days are numbered! What happened at the border under the previous administration should NEVER be allowed to happen again. We thank President Trump for his strength and unwavering commitment to protect this great nation and keep Americans safe! 8:30 AM · Feb 23, 2026 · 6,257 Views" 11,546 likes · 3,595 reposts · 393 replies · unknown views Analysis: https://trump.fm/post/ts_116120276365839507/analysis --- ### [ts_116120275584777418](https://trump.fm/post/ts_116120275584777418) Truth Social · 2026-02-23T13:53:11.031Z (UTC) · 1 media attachment **Image** (screenshot), described automatically; these are a machine's words about the picture, not the poster's: > A screenshot of a tweet/post from the account "Border Patrol Union – NBPC" (handle @BPUnion), which has a blue verified checkmark and a circular logo featuring an eagle-like emblem.

Here's the problem. There's opinions within opinions. It's a mess. First, there was no need for the court to rule as it did, period. The majority is not even a majority, except in agreeing to hold that the tariffs were not authorized by Congress in a 1977 law. Second, the majority is split into two camps. You've got Roberts, Gorsuch, and Barrett, and then that camp is split somewhat between Gorsuch and Barrett. Third, the three other justices in the second camp of the majority, the usual leftists, well, they mostly agreed with each other, but went further in attacking the President's tariff authority. I can assure you they wouldn't have done it with a Biden or Obama. Number four, this explains why it took so long for the court to issue a ruling, because the ruling appears to be a variety of arguments intended to reach a result. That is, in my view, it was result-oriented, a result looking for a constitutional and/or legal justification.
