...McConnell lost those two Senate seats, not Donald Trump! If anything, The New York Post Editorial Board (whatever happened to them?) should be talking about the brand new revelation of the fired Trump hating “Special Agent” In Charge of the horrendous, and unnecessary, Mar-a-Lago Break-In—Also, this was the same horrible person who was in charge of the virtually non-existent 2020 Presidential Election investigation—but we found plenty, even without him!…

This continuation post reveals a textbook narcissistic defense cascade triggered by a New York Post editorial blaming Trump for Georgia Senate losses. The response deploys four distinct defense mechanisms in sequence: flat denial of responsibility, projection of blame onto McConnell, splitting/devaluation of the formerly idealized NY Post ("whatever happened to them?"), and displacement from the painful topic to the more energizing FBI persecution narrative. The pivot from Senate losses to the Mar-a-Lago search is psychologically significant—it transforms Trump from a figure who might bear responsibility for defeat into a victim of institutional persecution. The post contains multiple reality distortions, including characterizing a lawful FBI search as a "Break-In" and claiming election fraud evidence was found when none was established. The mixed narcissistic state—grandiose ("not Donald Trump!") and vulnerable (persecuted by FBI)—is characteristic of Trump's baseline oscillation pattern.

Fact Checks (3)

"McConnell lost those two Senate seats, not Donald Trump"

Mostly False

The 2021 Georgia runoffs were widely attributed to Trump's attacks on the election system depressing Republican turnout and his promotion of stolen-election claims. McConnell's role was peripheral.

"The FBI special agent in charge was fired and was 'Trump hating'"

Unverifiable

Timothy Thibault, an FBI supervisory agent, was reported to have left the bureau; characterization as 'Trump hating' is opinion.

"We found plenty [of 2020 election fraud]"

False

No significant evidence of widespread fraud was found in the 2020 election despite dozens of court challenges, audits, and investigations.

Context

This is the second part of a two-part post (begins with "...") responding to a New York Post editorial that apparently criticized Trump over Georgia Senate losses. Trump deflects blame to McConnell, then pivots to attack the FBI agent involved in the Mar-a-Lago search.

Authorship

Posted at 6:48 PM ET (Trump likely at Mar-a-Lago or Bedminster in late August). Business hours, but the stream-of-consciousness style, parenthetical asides, em-dashes, and emotional reactivity are characteristic of authentic Trump posting. The continuation format ("...") from a prior post suggests real-time composition.

Psychological Dynamics

The post is driven by narcissistic injury from the NY Post editorial blaming him for Georgia Senate losses. The response follows a predictable sequence: (1) externalize blame to McConnell, (2) attack the messenger (NY Post editorial board), (3) redirect to a different grievance (FBI search). The parenthetical "(whatever happened to them?)" is a devaluation of a formerly idealized outlet—classic splitting when a previously supportive source turns critical.

The pivot to the "Special Agent" represents displacement—redirecting the emotional energy from the narcissistic wound (being blamed for losses) to a safer, more energizing target (FBI persecution narrative). The language "horrendous," "unnecessary," "Break-In" maintains the victim frame around Mar-a-Lago.

Cognitive Notes

The sentence structure is convoluted but coherent within Trump's baseline. The closing "but we found plenty, even without him!" is a grandiose assertion without specifics—characteristic confabulatory style.
