Content Summary

Trump shares a link to a DC Enquirer article claiming women "LOVE & MISS Trump" and are abandoning Democrats in a "double-digit landslide." This is four days before the 2022 midterm elections.

Authorship

Posted at 22:53 UTC. Trump was likely in or traveling through Iowa (CST) for his Sioux City rally, making this ~4:53 PM local time — business hours. The post is a simple link share with a quoted headline, polished formatting, no typos. Likely aide-posted or at minimum aide-assisted, though the ALL CAPS emphasis on "LOVE & MISS" has a Trumpian quality.

Psychological Analysis

This is a supply-seeking post during the midterm campaign push. The headline itself is narcissistically gratifying — women don't just support him politically, they "LOVE" and "MISS" him. The framing transforms political polling into personal adoration.

The source (DC Enquirer) is a low-credibility outlet, but the selection of this particular headline reveals the psychological need: validation that he is personally beloved, not merely politically useful.

Rhetorical Devices

• Hyperbole: "double-digit landslide"
• Third-person self-reference via headline sharing (narcissistic supply through others' words)
• Appeal to authority (citing a "poll" without methodological detail)

Context

This fits the pattern of pre-midterm momentum-building posts. The longitudinal context shows the same day included attacks on the NY judge and AG (narcissistic rage) and another link-share attacking Democratic governance. This post serves as the grandiose counterweight to the persecution narrative.
