Wow!!! So while Trump Hating CNN & MSNBC (MSDNC!) RATINGS are both at record lows, numbers that they have never seen before (“they’re toast”), Fox News Ratings are also way down because they never say “Trump” or TRUTH, never talk about the Rigged Presidential Election, and is a Fake Polling Network. Our giant MAGA base, much bigger than anyone knows, does not like watching Fox play their games. Their Ratings will continue to sink. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

This New Year's Eve post is notable for its simultaneous attack on all major cable news networks, including Fox News — typically an ally. The psychological pattern reveals narcissistic supply dynamics: Fox is punished not for opposition but for insufficient mirroring (not saying "Trump," not promoting Truth Social, not echoing stolen election claims). This demand for total validation from even allied media is consistent with escalating narcissistic entitlement. The post also advances epistemic closure by delegitimizing all mainstream media sources simultaneously, leaving only Trump's own platform (Truth Social) as trustworthy. The "Rigged Presidential Election" claim is stated as settled fact, and media loyalty is now measured by willingness to echo it. The grandiose claim of a MAGA base "much bigger than anyone knows" serves dual functions: flattering followers and maintaining the fantasy of a hidden majority. This post sits within a broader Dec 31 pattern of media attacks and grievance, occurring against the backdrop of his tax returns being released by Congress — a significant narcissistic injury notably absent from any of the day's posts, suggesting avoidance/denial.

Danger Assessment

None

Gaslighting Detected:

Asserts 2020 election was 'Rigged' as established fact
Demands media validate this false claim as condition of loyalty

Reality Distortions:

'Rigged Presidential Election' — no evidence of rigging found by courts, DOJ, or election officials
Fox ratings decline attributed solely to insufficient Trump coverage

Fact Checks (3)

"CNN and MSNBC ratings are at record lows"

Mostly True

Both networks saw significant ratings declines in 2022 compared to 2020-2021 peaks, though 'record lows' is hyperbolic — they were at multi-year lows, not all-time lows

"Fox News ratings are also way down"

Half True

Fox remained the top-rated cable news network in 2022 but saw declines from 2020 peaks. The decline was industry-wide, not specific to Fox's Trump coverage choices

"The Presidential Election was rigged"

False

Over 60 court cases, DOJ investigation, state audits, and Trump's own AG Barr found no evidence of fraud sufficient to change the outcome

Psychological Analysis: Media Ratings Attack (2022-12-31)

Context

New Year's Eve 2022. Trump is at Mar-a-Lago (Palm Beach, FL — EST). Post at 17:09 UTC = 12:09 PM EST. This is a midday post during a period of significant stress: tax returns just released by Congress, Jan 6 Committee activity winding down, and his Truth Social platform competing with legacy media.

Authorship

Midday posting, but the style is unmistakably authentic Trump: "Wow!!!" opener, stream-of-consciousness structure, parenthetical asides ("they're toast"), the signature "MSDNC" coinage, ALL CAPS emphasis, and the rambling single-paragraph format. The emotional temperature and grievance-driven content override the business-hours timing.

Psychological Dynamics

This post is a three-front media attack — CNN, MSNBC, and notably Fox News. The Fox attack is the most psychologically revealing. Fox's "crime" is not saying "Trump" or "TRUTH" (his platform), not promoting the stolen election narrative, and running polls he dislikes. This is a narcissistic supply complaint: Fox is failing to provide adequate mirroring and validation.

The post reveals a grandiose-vulnerable oscillation: grandiose in claiming a "giant MAGA base, much bigger than anyone knows" while simultaneously wounded that major networks aren't sufficiently attentive to him.

Defense Mechanisms

Splitting: CNN/MSNBC are all-bad (Trump Hating), Fox is also bad but for different reasons (insufficient loyalty)
Projection: Accuses Fox of "playing games" — projecting his own strategic media manipulation
Rationalization: Fox's ratings decline is attributed to insufficient Trump coverage rather than market dynamics

Rhetorical Analysis

The "MSDNC" portmanteau (MSNBC + DNC) is a recurring device. The parenthetical "they're toast" functions as pseudo-quotation — attributing validation to unnamed sources. The MAGA sign-off serves as tribal closure.
