The USA will be paying a very big price, perhaps the biggest price of all, because of what is being allowed to happen at our Southern Border, which just two years ago was the most secure, by far, in history! I built hundreds of miles of desperately needed WALL, was able to get 28,000 Mexican Soldiers (free!) to guard the Border, and created, and got approved, the incredible STAY IN MEXICO POLICY. Now it has all gone to “dust,” our Country is rapidly being destroyed. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

Fact Checks (3)

"Built hundreds of miles of wall"

Mostly True

Approximately 450 miles of border barrier were built during Trump's presidency, though much replaced existing barriers rather than new construction.

"Got 28,000 Mexican soldiers to guard the border"

Mostly True

Mexico deployed approximately 27,000 National Guard troops to its borders in 2019 under US pressure, though the exact number and 'free' characterization oversimplify the diplomatic arrangement.

"Southern border was most secure in history two years ago"

Half True

Border encounters dropped significantly during COVID-19 pandemic and Trump-era policies, but 'most secure in history' is an unprovable superlative. Much of the reduction was pandemic-related.

Psychological Analysis: Border Security Post (2022-11-29)

This post is one of two border-related posts on the same day (the other posted earlier), representing a clear deflection pattern away from the Fuentes dinner controversy dominating news coverage.

Context & Timing

Posted at 14:06 UTC = 9:06 AM EST. Trump was likely at Mar-a-Lago during this period. Morning business hours suggest possible aide involvement, though the emotional intensity and rhetorical style are consistent with authentic Trump.

Deflection Pattern

The Fuentes dinner controversy was generating bipartisan condemnation from McConnell, Pence, McCarthy, and Romney. Rather than address this directly, Trump posted TWO border-related messages on the same day—a classic displacement defense redirecting attention to a reliable grievance topic.

Rhetorical Structure

The post follows Trump's standard contamination narrative: past greatness (his border policies) → present destruction (Biden's border). Key devices include:

Self-aggrandizing enumeration of accomplishments (wall, Mexican soldiers, Stay in Mexico)
Catastrophizing language ("biggest price of all," "rapidly being destroyed")
The parenthetical "(free!)" as a dealmaker boast
Terminal slogan as call-to-action

Narcissistic Dynamics

The post serves dual functions: supply-seeking (reminding audience of his achievements) and preemptive deflection from the Fuentes controversy. The grandiose self-presentation—taking personal credit for border security—is characteristic baseline narcissistic style.

Cognitive Notes

Language is coherent and on-message. The repetition of border themes across two same-day posts suggests perseverative focus, though this is also a deliberate media strategy.
