## Post text

> Joe Biden said he is running for President, so why isn’t he appointing a Special Counsel to look into the criminal actions of him and his son, Hunter? There has never been anything like it in the history of our Country, and amazingly, it is perfectly documented for all to see. Maybe Trump Hater Jack Smith, who should never be allowed to work on anything having to do with me because of his and his family’s anger, hatred, and bias, should be looking into the Biden Crime Family instead? Great idea!

# Analysis

_Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-20T00:28:11.059Z (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_109406706114931509

### Context
Posted November 25, 2022, 5:04 PM EST (Mar-a-Lago). This falls during the Fuentes/Kanye dinner controversy and shortly after Jack Smith's appointment as Special Counsel (Nov 18, 2022). The post is a deflection from both controversies.

### Authorship
Business hours, relatively coherent structure, but contains signature Trump markers: rhetorical questions, "Great idea!" self-endorsement, characteristic epithets ("Trump Hater Jack Smith"), "history of our Country" superlative. The stream-of-consciousness run-on sentence style and emotional content point to authentic authorship despite the afternoon timing.

### Psychological Analysis
The post is a textbook whataboutism response to the Jack Smith appointment. The core dynamic is narcissistic injury (being investigated) triggering projection and deflection. The argument structure: "Why investigate me when Biden is worse?" reveals splitting (self = innocent, Biden = criminal) and projection (attributing criminality to opponents while facing investigation himself).

The phrase "should never be allowed to work on anything having to do with me because of his and his family's anger, hatred, and bias" is notable for its paranoid attribution—extending suspicion to Smith's family members without evidence. This is characteristic paranoid feature expansion.

"Great idea!" at the end functions as self-congratulation, a grandiose coda treating his own suggestion as brilliant.

### Rhetorical Devices
- Whataboutism (redirect to Biden)
- Ad hominem (Jack Smith as "Trump Hater")
- Appeal to evidence without providing any ("perfectly documented for all to see")
- Guilt by association (extending bias claim to Smith's family)
- Self-endorsement ("Great idea!")

### Longitudinal Note
Consistent with the prior day's posts calling the investigation a "RIGGED SCAM" and "WITCH HUNT!!!" — this is the same narcissistic injury playing out across multiple posts with escalating elaboration.

## Fact Verification

| Claim | Verdict | Evidence |
|-------|---------|----------|
| "Joe Biden said he is running for President" | **Mostly True** | Biden had indicated intent to run for reelection in 2024, though formal announcement came later in April 2023 |
| "Jack Smith and his family have anger, hatred, and bias against Trump" | **Mostly False** | Smith's wife made a documentary about Michelle Obama, which Trump used to claim bias; no evidence of institutional bias or family 'hatred' |
| "Biden's criminal actions are perfectly documented" | **Mostly False** | No criminal charges have been brought against Joe Biden; Hunter Biden faced tax and gun charges but Joe Biden was not charged with crimes |

Overall Veracity: 40%

_The model's verdicts from 2026-03-20._

**MOSTLY TRUE**

Biden had indicated intent to run for reelection in 2024, though formal announcement came later in April 2023

Smith's wife made a documentary about Michelle Obama, which Trump used to claim bias; no evidence of institutional bias or family 'hatred'

**MOSTLY FALSE**

No criminal charges have been brought against Joe Biden; Hunter Biden faced tax and gun charges but Joe Biden was not charged with crimes

## That day

_From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._

**Holiday Damage Control: Two-Post Kanye-Fuentes Defense Reveals Rare Vulnerability as Bipartisan Backlash Bites**

The day after Thanksgiving was dominated by damage control over Trump's dinner with Kanye West and white nationalist Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago. Trump issued two separate defensive statements — unusual for someone who typically punches back rather than explains — claiming ignorance of his own dinner guests and downplaying the evening as "quick and uneventful." Sandwiched between the Kanye cleanup was an aggressive volley at Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Biden family, posted twice within two minutes. The day bookended with lighter self-promotion: a morning Christmas book plug and an evening retweet celebrating record engagement.
