RT: https://truthsocial.com/users/realDonaldTrump/statuses/108994583638462704 The biggest story of them all. They worked with the Russians, not “Trump.” It was all made up by the FBI and their SleazeBag friends. Then we’re supposed to trust them?

Gaslighting Detected:

Reality inversion: claims FBI, not Trump campaign, colluded with Russia
Attacks institutional credibility to undermine trust in findings

Reality Distortions:

'They worked with the Russians, not Trump' — reverses documented findings of Russian interference and Trump campaign contacts
'It was all made up by the FBI' — dismisses multi-year investigation with bipartisan Senate confirmation of Russian interference

Fact Checks (2)

"The FBI and their friends worked with Russia, not Trump"

Mostly False

The bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee confirmed extensive Russian interference and numerous contacts between Trump campaign associates and Russian operatives. Some FBI procedural errors (FISA warrants) were documented but do not support the claim that the FBI 'worked with Russia.'

"It was all made up by the FBI"

False

Russian interference in the 2016 election was confirmed by multiple intelligence agencies and the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee. The Durham investigation found procedural issues but did not establish the investigation was fabricated.

Psychological Analysis: RT of Russia/FBI Post (2022-09-15)

This post is a repost of Trump's own earlier content about the FBI allegedly working with Russia against him, adding editorial commentary. The core claim reverses the Russia investigation narrative: "They worked with the Russians, not 'Trump.'"

Authorship

Posted at ~7:52 AM ET (Trump likely at Mar-a-Lago or Bedminster in mid-September 2022). The timing is consistent with early morning authentic posting. The informal language ("SleazeBag"), rhetorical question ending, and emotional tone all point to authentic authorship.

Psychological Dynamics

This is a classic DARVO sequence: the subject of investigation becomes the accuser. The scare quotes around "Trump" create dissociation—referring to himself in the third person as a media construct rather than himself. "SleazeBag friends" reflects characteristic devaluation of perceived enemies.

Rhetorical Analysis

The post employs reversal ("They worked with the Russians, not 'Trump'"), rhetorical question ("Then we're supposed to trust them?"), and appeal to shared grievance. The phrase "biggest story of them all" is superlative framing typical of Trump's rhetorical style.

Longitudinal Note

This is the second Russia/FBI post in quick succession on the same day, indicating perseverative focus on this theme. Combined with border and electric vehicle posts, the day shows a pattern of grievance cycling across multiple topics.
