Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his: > So as you might expect for International Fight Week, a lot of people are in the building but no one needs more security than the former president of the United States, obviously with a good friend of Dana White. Oh my word, I mean listen, he's a massive, massive fighter and that just shows how big this event is. Donald Trump has loved the fights for a long time. He's often at Madison Square Garden, but the International Fight Week, he has to show up, show his support, he has to come from six day one. It's good to see him here, Donald. Oh, it's no surprise that this man is here because this is the only thing that stayed open in all of sports during some of the darkest times that he's here. Alright, let's go. ## Media - video: https://static-assets-1.truthsocial.com/tmtg:prime-ts-assets/media_attachments/files/110/687/332/751/427/660/original/b27cda8425568f39.mp4 ## Engagement - Likes: 13,995 - Reposts: 2,953 - Replies: 255 - Views: unknown - Metrics collected: 2026-02-01T01:19:51.406Z (UTC) # Analysis _Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-20T06:13:49.146Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._ ## Post Analysis: "THANK YOU TO DANA WHITE & UFC 290!" — July 10, 2023 ### Authorship Attribution **Timing:** UTC 02:04 on July 10 converts to approximately 22:04 EDT on July 9. In July 2023, Trump typically resided at Bedminster, NJ (Eastern Daylight Time, UTC-4). Local time: **10:04 PM** — firmly within the late-night window (10pm–6am) characteristic of authentic Trump posts. The brevity, ALL CAPS register, and absence of polish reinforce authentic authorship. This has the hallmarks of an impulsive, emotionally warm posting made while watching post-event coverage. **Confidence:** High for authentic Trump. --- ### Contextual Frame UFC 290 occurred on July 8, 2023, in Las Vegas. Dana White, UFC president, has been a consistent, high-visibility Trump ally since 2016 — a member of Trump's inner circle of entertainment/sports celebrities who provide cultural legitimacy and cross-demographic appeal. This post functions as a reciprocal loyalty signal within that alliance network. --- ### Level 1: Dispositional Traits The post is too brief for robust Big Five inference, but the register is consistent with **high extraversion** (warm positive affect, public acknowledgment) and **low conscientiousness** (no elaboration, impulsive brevity). The absence of ANY attack target or grievance language marks this as one of the relatively rare posts operating in pure positive-affiliation mode — a notable contrast with the surrounding posts attacking Fox News polls, DeSantis, and the "deep state." --- ### Level 2: Characteristic Adaptations **Motive:** Primarily **agency via status maintenance**. The association with a high-testosterone, combat-sports flagship event reinforces Trump's self-presentation as embedded in elite entertainment and masculine culture. Dana White's reciprocal acknowledgment (implied by the attached video) provides **narcissistic supply** in the form of public deference from a high-status ally. **Schema:** This post reflects a view of the social world as a hierarchy of loyalty relationships — allies are thanked publicly, enemies are attacked publicly. The gratitude is performative and audience-directed as much as it is interpersonally genuine. --- ### Level 3: Narrative Identity - **Protagonist role:** Winner-by-association; the celebrated insider - **Identity claim:** "I am someone powerful figures align themselves with publicly" - **Contrasting other:** None explicitly present - **Narrative sequence:** Neutral — no redemption or contamination arc; this is a moment of uncomplicated social victory --- ### Level 4: Clinical Indicators No clinically significant features are present in this post in isolation. The ALL CAPS is consistent with baseline Trump capitalization patterns for affirmative statements; it does not here signal rage or injury. No paranoid, antisocial, or sadistic content is present. The post represents the **grandiose pole** of narcissistic oscillation — expansive, socially dominant, supply-receiving — rather than the vulnerable/persecuted pole visible in the flanking DeSantis and "fake polls" posts. --- ### Defense Mechanisms None substantively present. No defensive operations are required when the post is pure affiliation and no threat is being processed. --- ### Rhetorical Analysis - **ALL CAPS:** Conventional intensifier in Trump's register; signals enthusiasm rather than aggression here - **Public gratitude as loyalty display:** Classic reciprocal affiliation move that reinforces the Trump–White alliance in front of Trump's audience - No dehumanizing language, violent imagery, or propaganda techniques are present --- ### Fact Verification | Claim | Verdict | Evidence | |-------|---------|----------| | "UFC 290 occurred and involved Dana White" | **True** | UFC 290 took place July 8, 2023, in Las Vegas. Dana White is the longtime president of the UFC and a well-documented Trump ally. | Overall Veracity: 100% ## Authorship Analysis **Self-Written** (score: 75%) ### Indicators - 10:04 PM EDT local time at Bedminster, NJ — within authentic late-night posting window - ALL CAPS register consistent with authentic Trump style - Brief, unpolished, emotionally impulsive quality - No structured messaging or polished grammar suggesting aide-drafting - Attached video suggests personal engagement with UFC event coverage ## Psychological Profile ### State **Grandiose State** **Trigger:** Supply Seeking (Dana White / UFC 290 public acknowledgment) Sentiment: +0.72 ### Clinical **Malignant Narcissism:** - Narcissistic: 20% - Antisocial: 0% - Paranoid: 0% - Sadism: 0% **Cognitive Complexity:** - Complexity: 5% **Parasocial Techniques:** - Public reciprocal loyalty display reinforcing in-group alliance narrative for followers ## Fact Checks (1) _The model's verdicts from 2026-03-20._ > UFC 290 occurred and involved Dana White **TRUE** UFC 290 took place July 8, 2023, in Las Vegas.

By midday Monday, the mood shifted sharply: he lashed out at Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds for not endorsing him and seized on the White House cocaine story to accuse Biden of drug use and criminal conduct. The afternoon featured back-to-back aggressive posts making false claims about his own legal cooperation while projecting criminality onto Biden. The day ended quietly with a routine endorsement, but the middle hours were defined by disproportionate retaliation and escalating accusation.
