## Post text

> Kelly Tshibaka is doing very well in Alaska, probably leading horrendously bad Senator Lisa Murkowski, a Republican (barely!). The Democrat has no chance, and yet the Old Broken Crow, Mitchell McConnell, is authorizing $9 Million Dollars to be spent in order to beat a great Republican, Kelly, instead of $9 Million Dollars that could be used for Blake Masters, and other Republicans, that with this money would beat their Democrat opponent. Isn’t it ironic?

# Analysis

_Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-19T23:33:34.140Z (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: Post ts_109146083345318517

### Overview
Trump attacks Mitch McConnell for spending $9M supporting Lisa Murkowski over Kelly Tshibaka in Alaska, arguing the money should go to Blake Masters instead. The post combines intra-party grievance with strategic critique.

### Authorship
Posted at ~5:24 PM ET (Trump was likely at Mar-a-Lago or in the Arizona/rally circuit area given the Mesa rally context). The post has authentic markers: the nickname "Old Broken Crow," the parenthetical "(barely!)," stream-of-consciousness run-on sentence structure, and emotional editorializing. Minor grammatical issues (comma splices, awkward "that with this money would beat"). The closing "Isn't it ironic?" is a characteristic Trump rhetorical flourish.

### Psychological Dynamics
This is a classic narcissistic injury response—McConnell is directing resources against a Trump-endorsed candidate, which Trump experiences as a personal betrayal and challenge to his authority within the party. The post reveals the power struggle between Trump and McConnell for control of the Republican Party apparatus.

### Defense Mechanisms
- **Splitting**: Murkowski is "horrendously bad," Tshibaka is "great"
- **Devaluation**: McConnell reduced to "Old Broken Crow" (a recurring dehumanizing nickname)
- **Projection**: Frames McConnell as irrational/destructive while Trump positions himself as the strategic thinker

### Rhetorical Techniques
The post uses false strategic framing—presenting a complex intra-party power struggle as simple resource misallocation. The parenthetical "(barely!)" questions Murkowski's Republican identity, a loyalty-purity test.

### Cognitive Notes
The sentence structure is characteristically tangled ("that with this money would beat their Democrat opponent") but consistent with Trump's baseline spoken/written style rather than indicating decline.

## Fact Verification

| Claim | Verdict | Evidence |
|-------|---------|----------|
| "Kelly Tshibaka is probably leading Lisa Murkowski" | **Mostly False** | Polls in October 2022 generally showed Murkowski leading or competitive. Murkowski ultimately won the ranked-choice election. |
| "McConnell is authorizing $9 million to beat Tshibaka" | **Mostly True** | McConnell-aligned Senate Leadership Fund did spend significant money supporting Murkowski over Trump-backed Tshibaka in Alaska. |

Overall Veracity: 50%

## That day

**Post-Rally Afterglow Fuels Endorsement Blitz Before Late McConnell Jab**

The day opened with a victory lap after a large Arizona rally the night before, followed by a quiet morning of link-sharing and media grievances. The bulk of the afternoon was devoted to a mechanical run of midterm endorsements for congressional candidates across Arizona, Texas, Florida, and Alaska. The only real heat came at the very end, when a pointed attack on Mitch McConnell over Senate spending priorities broke through an otherwise flat, campaign-operations mood.
