## Post text

> 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

_Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-20T01:43:28.838Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._

## 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.

## Fact Verification

| Claim | Verdict | Evidence |
|-------|---------|----------|
| "I made this incredible event happen" | **Half True** | Trump administration organized the July 4, 2020 fireworks at Mount Rushmore, but it required cooperation of National Park Service, South Dakota government, and others. Trump did push for it over objections. |
| "It is no longer allowed" | **Mostly True** | Biden administration did not continue the Mount Rushmore fireworks, citing environmental concerns and opposition from tribal nations. The NPS denied South Dakota's permit request. |

## That day

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

**Three-Page Assault on Jack Smith as Biden Documents Parallel Fuels Persecution Siege**

Trump spent most of the day consumed by the Jack Smith special counsel investigation, publishing a rare three-page written attack in the morning before pivoting to demands that the Attorney General fire Smith and appoint an equally hostile prosecutor to investigate Biden. The appointment of Special Counsel Robert Hur to probe Biden's classified documents — potentially validating Trump's grievances — paradoxically deepened his persecution narrative rather than producing triumphalism. By evening, the mood shifted to lighter self-promotion and political commentary, but the day's center of gravity was unmistakably the legal threat.
