## Post text

> The Perverts and Lowlifes of the Lincoln Project are back on, where else, Fox News. I thought they ran away to the asylum after their last catastrophic campaign, with charges made against them that were big time sleaze, and me getting many millions more votes in 2020 than I got in 2016. The Paul Ryun run Fox only has high standards for “Trump” ads, but not for anyone else. The Perverts should not be allowed to “false advertise,” and Fox News should not allow it to happen. See you all in Court!!!

# Analysis

_Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-19T22:53:22.184Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._

## Psychological Analysis: Truth Social Post ts_108962947464465218

### Context
Trump attacks the Lincoln Project (anti-Trump Republican group) for running ads on Fox News, references their scandals, misspells "Paul Ryan" as "Paul Ryun," and threatens litigation. The "Paul Ryun" misspelling and the reference to Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver's sexual misconduct scandal ("Perverts," "sleaze") are characteristic markers.

### Authorship
Posted at 9:10 AM ET (Trump likely at Mar-a-Lago or Bedminster in September). This is a morning post but contains strong authentic markers: the "Paul Ryun" misspelling, stream-of-consciousness grievance style, emotional reactivity, ALL CAPS absent but rhetorical intensity high, and the signature empty legal threat ("See you all in Court!!!"). Almost certainly written by Trump himself, likely after watching Fox News morning programming.

### Psychological State
This is a narcissistic injury response. The Lincoln Project ads criticize Trump; seeing them on Fox News (which he considers "his" network) compounds the injury — it's betrayal by an ally platform. The trigger is dual: criticism (the ads) and perceived disloyalty (Fox airing them).

### Defense Mechanisms
- **Devaluation**: "Perverts and Lowlifes" — immediate character assassination to delegitimize critics
- **Projection**: Accusing others of "false advertising" while being a prolific source of false claims himself
- **Splitting**: Fox News cast as betrayer; Lincoln Project as purely evil ("Perverts")
- **Rationalization**: Claims Lincoln Project's 2020 campaign was "catastrophic" because he gained votes, ignoring that Biden won

### Rhetorical Devices
The "Paul Ryun" misspelling may be intentional (Trump has a history of deliberate name-mangling as dominance display — "Liddle' Adam Schiff," etc.) or genuine error. The repeated use of "Perverts" (twice) is a perseverative attack leveraging the John Weaver scandal to tar the entire organization. "See you all in Court!!!" is a signature empty threat — a dominance display with no follow-through history on such claims.

### Fact Verification

| Claim | Verdict | Evidence |
|-------|---------|----------|
| "Got many millions more votes in 2020 than in 2016" | **Half True** | Trump gained ~11.2 million more votes (62.9M → 74.2M), which is factually accurate. However, this is used to imply the Lincoln Project campaign failed and to obscure that he lost the 2020 election. |
| "Paul Ryan runs Fox News" | **Mostly False** | Paul Ryan joined the Fox Corporation board of directors in 2019. He is a board member, not an executive running the company. Lachlan Murdoch is CEO/Chairman. |
| "Lincoln Project faced charges of sleaze" | **Mostly True** | Co-founder John Weaver faced accusations of sexual harassment/misconduct with young men in 2021, leading to internal crisis. 'Charges' implies legal charges which is misleading — these were public accusations. |

Overall Veracity: 50%

> Got many millions more votes in 2020 than in 2016

**HALF TRUE**

Trump gained ~11.2 million more votes (62.9M → 74.2M), which is factually accurate. However, this is used to imply the Lincoln Project campaign failed and to obscure that he lost the 2020 election.

Sources: Fox Corporation board records

> Lincoln Project faced charges of sleaze

**MOSTLY TRUE**

Co-founder John Weaver faced accusations of sexual harassment/misconduct with young men in 2021, leading to internal crisis. 'Charges' implies legal charges which is misleading — these were public accusations.

## That day

_From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._

**Queen's Death Draws Stately Performance Before Legal Grievance Reclaims the Stage**

Trump spent the day split between diplomacy and grievance. The morning opened with a Bolsonaro endorsement and a jab at the Lincoln Project, but the big moment was a lengthy, formal tribute to Queen Elizabeth II after her death was announced -- clearly drafted by staff and strikingly dignified. That register didn't last. By late afternoon, Trump pivoted hard into a two-part rant against the FBI and DOJ over the Mar-a-Lago documents case, accusing investigators of planting evidence and cataloging every perceived institutional abuse. The day's arc -- from presidential composure to raw persecution narrative -- was one of the sharpest tonal contrasts in recent memory.
