RT: https://truthsocial.com/users/KristiNoem/statuses/109678482298492713 But I made this incredible event happen, and was there to celebrate with the great people of South Dakota, and America. Ridiculous that it is no longer allowed. So great for USA spirit. As President, it will SOON happen again. I Love Mount Rushmore!

Analysis: Mount Rushmore / Kristi Noem Repost (2023-01-12)

Trump retweeted Kristi Noem content about a Mount Rushmore event he hosted, adding personal commentary claiming credit ("I made this incredible event happen"), expressing grievance that it's "no longer allowed," and promising restoration "As President, it will SOON happen again." This likely references the July 4, 2020 fireworks celebration at Mount Rushmore that the Biden administration subsequently did not continue, citing environmental and tribal concerns.

Authorship: Posted at 6:02 PM EST (Trump likely at Mar-a-Lago in January). Business hours, but the emotional tone, self-aggrandizing claims, and ALL CAPS emphasis on "SOON" suggest authentic Trump with possible aide assistance on the RT formatting.

Psychological dynamics: This post is notably different in tone from the same day's Jack Smith/legal persecution posts. It represents supply-seeking through nostalgia and self-credit. The pivot from legal anxiety (other posts) to grandiose reminiscence suggests emotional regulation through recall of peak experiences. The claim "I made this incredible event happen" is characteristic grandiose self-attribution. The grievance that it's "no longer allowed" maintains the contamination narrative (good thing ruined by successors).

Rhetorical function: This post serves as campaign positioning — promising restoration of a popular symbolic event. "I Love Mount Rushmore!" functions as parasocial intimacy, associating himself with a national monument (implicit comparison to figures carved on it).

Relatively low-intensity post compared to the day's legal grievance material.
