Post from Truth Social

Analysis: RT of BonginoReport with "And that's the least of it!"

Context

This post is a retweet of a BonginoReport item with Trump appending a brief amplifying comment. Posted on November 11, 2022, two days after midterm elections where Trump-endorsed candidates significantly underperformed. The same day, Trump filed suit to block the January 6 Committee subpoena. The surrounding posts from this day reveal a pattern of election fraud claims, attacks on political figures, and defensive reframing of midterm losses as victories.

Authorship

Posted at 12:52 UTC. Trump was likely at Mar-a-Lago (EST, UTC-5), making this ~7:52 AM local time. This falls in an ambiguous zone — early but not definitively late-night. The brevity and reactive quality ("And that's the least of it!") are consistent with authentic Trump style. The ellipsis-connected URL formatting is typical of his Truth Social retweets.

Psychological State

The comment functions as an amplification device — whatever the BonginoReport content was (likely related to election irregularities or anti-establishment grievance given the surrounding post context), Trump's addition signals "this is just the tip of the iceberg." This is a classic supply-maintenance and grievance-amplification move during a period of narcissistic injury from midterm underperformance.

Rhetorical Function

The phrase "the least of it" implies hidden, deeper problems — a teasing, conspiratorial framing that invites followers to imagine worse things beneath the surface. This is characteristic of the firehose-of-falsehood approach: volume over specificity.
