Dr. Oz seems to be in good shape in Pennsylvania, but REMEMBER, I endorsed him very late, many days AFTER Early Voting began, and it was then that he started to do really well, as he also did on Election Day. Had I endorsed him at the start of Early Voting (The USA should only have SAME DAY VOTING), it would have made a big difference! Regardless, should never take so long to count votes - already one week!

"Endorsed Oz many days after early voting began"

Mostly True

Trump endorsed Oz on April 9, 2022. Pennsylvania mail-in voting began in mid-March. The timeline is roughly accurate.

"Already one week of counting"

True

The PA primary was May 17, 2022; this post is May 24 — exactly one week. The race was extremely close, triggering automatic recount procedures.

Context

This post addresses the ongoing Pennsylvania GOP Senate primary recount between Trump-endorsed Dr. Oz and Dave McCormick. Trump is managing a narrative around a potentially embarrassing outcome — his endorsed candidate is in a razor-thin race that has dragged on for a week.

Authorship

Posted at 2:12 PM ET (Trump likely at Mar-a-Lago or NYC). Business hours, but the style is clearly authentic Trump — stream-of-consciousness parenthetical asides, capitalized emphasis words, and the characteristic self-crediting logic.

Key Psychological Dynamics

The post is a masterclass in preemptive narrative construction. Trump is building an alibi: if Oz loses, it's because Trump endorsed "very late." The parenthetical "(The USA should only have SAME DAY VOTING)" is a characteristic tangential insertion that serves dual purposes — deflecting from Oz's thin margin while reinforcing the election integrity grievance narrative.

The logical structure is self-serving to the point of unfalsifiability: Oz doing well = proof of Trump's endorsement power; Oz struggling = proof Trump endorsed too late. This heads-I-win-tails-you-lose framing is a recurring pattern.

Defense Mechanisms

Rationalization dominates — the "late endorsement" explanation preemptively shields against narcissistic injury from a potential Oz loss. Distortion of causal attribution (Oz's performance attributed entirely to endorsement timing) protects grandiosity.

Longitudinal Note

Same-day posts show Trump managing multiple fronts: Georgia (where his candidates lost badly to Kemp/Raffensperger), Russia/Ukraine, and now Pennsylvania. The Georgia loss is conspicuously absent from direct acknowledgment — instead he attacks Kemp over drop box videos rather than addressing the election results.
