This New Year's Day post is a defensive response to the narrative that Trump bears responsibility for Republican midterm underperformance. The psychological architecture is notable: Trump opens with categorical denial ("It wasn't my fault"), immediately pivots to a grandiose self-statistic (233-20), then distributes blame across three separate targets—abortion hardliners, demobilized pro-life voters, and McConnell's spending. This cascade structure is psychologically significant because it makes the externalization harder to rebut; no single counter-argument addresses all three claims. The central irony—that Trump's own Supreme Court appointees produced the Dobbs decision he blames others for mishandling—appears completely invisible to him, consistent with narcissistic externalization where the self is structurally excluded from causal blame. The 233-20 figure, while roughly accurate in raw numbers, is deeply misleading: the vast majority of endorsements were in safe races. His endorsed candidates in competitive Senate races (Oz, Walker, Masters, Bolduc) significantly underperformed. The closing "Mitch stupid $'s!" is a compressed contempt marker targeting McConnell's Senate Leadership Fund for not supporting Trump-aligned candidates. Longitudinally, this post fits the established pattern of post-defeat processing through externalization rather than reflection, consistent with the contamination narrative sequence (victory/expectation → betrayal by others).

Trump's New Year straddled two posting sessions — a combative burst on New Year's Eve and an afternoon flurry on the holiday itself. Rather than turning the page, he used the occasion to relitigate impeachments, deflect blame for Republican midterm losses, and launch repeated attacks on Mitch McConn...

It wasn’t my fault that the Republicans didn’t live up to expectations in the MidTerms. I was 233-20! It was the “abortion issue,” poorly handled by many Republicans, especially those that firmly insisted on No Exceptions, even in the case of Rape, Incest, or Life of the Mother, that lost large numbers of Voters. Also, the people that pushed so hard, for decades, against abortion, got their wish from the U.S. Supreme Court, & just plain disappeared, not to be seen again. Plus, Mitch stupid $'s!
