"Obama complimented Trump and scolded Hillary and media in a secret meeting shown in unsealed documents"

Half True

Various documents from the Russia investigation were unsealed in this period. While some may contain Obama remarks, the framing as 'compliments Trump, scolds Hillary' is almost certainly a highly selective and editorialized interpretation from a partisan outlet.

Content Summary

Trump shares a Slay News article claiming that unsealed documents show Obama complimenting Trump while scolding Hillary Clinton and the media in a "secret meeting." This is a link-share post with the article headline as the only text.

Authorship

This post at ~2:17 PM ET (Trump likely at Mar-a-Lago or nearby given Hurricane Ian aftermath) fits the pattern of daytime content curation — likely aide-assisted or part of a bulk sharing session. The post is one of several link-shares in rapid succession on the same day, all sharing flattering articles. The clean formatting and lack of personal commentary support aide involvement.

Psychological Analysis

This post serves a clear narcissistic supply function: validation from a rival/predecessor. Obama complimenting Trump is particularly potent supply because it comes from someone who publicly mocked Trump (2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner). The "secret meeting" framing adds intrigue and implies Obama's true private assessment differs from his public stance — a fantasy of secret admiration from adversaries.

The triangulation with Hillary is notable: Obama scolds Hillary (devaluation of rival) while complimenting Trump (idealization of self). This splitting dynamic positions Trump as the one even his opponents secretly respect.

Rhetorical Techniques

Appeal to authority (Obama as validating source)
Revelation narrative ("secret meeting," "unsealed docs" implies hidden truth emerging)
Triangulation (Obama validates Trump over Hillary)

Context

This is part of a day of intensive supply-seeking posts, all sharing articles praising Trump. The pattern suggests maintenance-mode narcissistic supply gathering rather than response to a specific injury.
