The Club For NO Growth, an assemblage of political misfits, globalists, and losers, fought me incessantly and rather viciously during my presidential run in 2016. They said I couldn’t win, I did, and won even bigger in 2020, with millions of more votes than ‘16, but the Election was Rigged & Stollen. They asked to get together on Endorsements of candidates, we did, and had MANY WINS & NO losses. Relationship broke up over my Endorsement of certain great people in Alabama & Ohio. I won them all!

This post represents a preemptive strike against Club for Growth, likely motivated by their anticipated support for Ron DeSantis in the 2024 primary. The psychological structure is revealing: Trump constructs a narrative in which every chapter ends with his victory, even the 2020 election loss (reframed as stolen). The Club for Growth is subjected to classic splitting — reduced from a complex political organization to "misfits, globalists, and losers." The post embeds two significant reality distortions: the stolen election claim (now functioning as casual axiom rather than argued position) and the "NO losses" claim on joint endorsements. The relationship breakdown is attributed entirely to the other party's reaction to Trump's endorsement choices, with no acknowledgment of mutual disagreement. Psychologically, this is supply-maintenance behavior — reassuring followers of Trump's infallibility while discrediting a potential source of legitimacy for rivals. The grandiose state is dominant throughout, with mild rage directed at the organization. The "Stollen" misspelling continues a persistent pattern across posts. No danger indicators or cognitive concerns beyond baseline.

Gaslighting Detected:

Casual assertion of stolen election as established fact
Rewriting collaborative history to claim zero losses

Reality Distortions:

2020 election was rigged and stolen
Had NO losses on joint endorsements

Fact Checks (3)

"Won even bigger in 2020 with millions of more votes than 2016"

Mostly True

Trump received ~74.2M votes in 2020 vs ~63M in 2016, an increase of ~11M. However he lost the election.

"The Election was Rigged & Stollen"

False

No credible evidence of fraud sufficient to alter the 2020 election outcome. Exposed to over 60 court challenges, all failed.

"Had MANY WINS & NO losses on joint endorsements with Club for Growth"

Mostly False

While the collaboration produced wins, the claim of zero losses is not supported. Several jointly endorsed candidates lost primaries or generals.

Psychological Analysis: Attack on Club for Growth

Context

Post dated February 7, 2023, 1:21 PM ET (Trump likely at Mar-a-Lago). Business hours posting with relatively structured argumentation suggests possible aide involvement, though the emotional content, misspelling ("Stollen"), and stream-of-consciousness quality point toward authentic Trump authorship.

Personality Analysis

Level 1 – Traits: Low agreeableness dominates (devaluation of former allies as "misfits, globalists, and losers"). High extraversion (assertive, combative). Neuroticism facet of angry hostility present but controlled.

Level 2 – Motives: Pure agency/dominance. The post constructs a narrative of total victory: "I won," "won even bigger," "MANY WINS & NO losses," "I won them all!" The motive is to reframe a relationship breakdown as the other party's loss.

Level 3 – Narrative Identity: Classic redemption arc — doubted → proved doubters wrong → betrayed by ungrateful allies. Protagonist role: the winner who generously collaborated but was let down. Club for Growth cast as the contrasting other who needed Trump, not vice versa.

Clinical Indicators

The "Stollen" misspelling (for "Stolen") is a recurring error in Trump's posts — likely a perseverative spelling habit rather than acute cognitive issue. The Big Lie claim is embedded casually mid-narrative, functioning as established axiom rather than argued point.

Defense Mechanisms

Splitting: Club for Growth = all-bad ("misfits, globalists, losers")
Distortion: "won even bigger in 2020" and "NO losses" are demonstrable exaggerations
Rationalization: Relationship failure reframed as their fault over his endorsement choices

Rhetorical Devices

The post follows a clear narrative arc (opposition → triumph → collaboration → betrayal → final triumph) designed to preemptively discredit Club for Growth, likely in anticipation of their supporting a 2024 rival (DeSantis).
