PART 2 of 2!@marklevinshow ## What the media says **Video transcript** (9:05), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong. Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his: > Now, New York, what do we have? Let's not forget we have a DA, a Soros DA, a Democrat DA. He breathes life into a case that was rejected ultimately by the prior DA, another Democrat. And what is that about? Nondisclosure agreements. Nondisclosure agreements. It is a completely phony case. There's over 30 charges of federal crimes against the President of the United States. He takes misdemeanors, and they weren't even misdemeanors, but he takes them, turns them into felonies, makes these preposterous allegations. And that's the first set of indictments. Every one of these prosecutors is conflicted. Alvin Bragg, a Soros prosecutor, a radical Democrat in Manhattan, and he ran on charging Donald Trump. Fannie Willis, a radical elected Democrat who's fundraising off the charges against Donald Trump for her next election. Jack Smith, a former top official in the Eric Holder Department of Justice, worked closely with him, with former FBI director James Comey and his general counsel Andrew Weissman, who's all over MSNBC spewing his stupidity. And of course, Smith's wife is a Democrat activist and Obama's sycophant with a long record of prosecutorial abuses of process, that is Jack Smith, pressuring and threatening witnesses, bankrupting criminal targets, leaking campaigns with friendly reporters, like Haberman over there at the New York Times, other news outlets, the Washington Post, CNN, and so forth. Now, let's step back. This DA in Atlanta, as well as Jack Smith, what are they doing? What have they done? Alan Dershowitz wrote an important piece for the Daily Mail. Among other things, he says, during the course of our challenges, since Bush Gory was representing the people of Palm Beach County in that litigation. Many tactics similar to those employees in 2020 were attempted. Lawyers wrote legal memoranda outlining possible courses of conduct, including proposing a slate of alternate electors who would deliver our preferred election results to Congress. This is normal. In 2000, Florida state officials were lobbied to secure recounts in selected counties, which we thought the tally would favor us. We were trying to find at least 600 votes that would change the result. The new indictment features Trump's phone call with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, which was captured in an audio recording. In the conversation, Trump asks him to find 12,000 votes. In my mind, says Dershowitz, this call is among the most exculpatory pieces of evidence. Trump was entitled as a candidate to ask a Georgia state official to locate votes that he believes were not counted. Trump was told that in some of these Republican counties that the votes aren't in yet or they can't, you know, actually find the ballots in the votes. And he says, well, can't you find whatever it is, 11 or 12,000 votes? That's it. In 2000, attempts were made to influence various Florida officials to recount the votes. Now the former president's request that Georgia's Speaker of the House reconsider the count was being considered as soliciting a public official to violate his oath. You understand the extent to which the criminal activity is the criminal activity of the Biden administration, the Department of Justice, Merrick Garland and Jack Smith. They are the criminals. Let's look at what Hillary Clinton did. Oh, I know the media hate to do this because the media are frauds, unfreedom of the press, an entire book on what the media have done to this country. This is not a free press. This is a problem. Russia type press. This is a state press. This is a press that everything I'm telling you right now, they will never discuss. They will never have a legal analyst on there discussing it. The people who watch these programs, even though they have very, very small audiences, the big part of their audience members of Congress, people in the White House, other press and influencers. That's their audience. That's their audience. As for these judges, judges are flesh and blood. They're human beings too. And some of them are better than others. Some of them are radical activists, Democrats. Some of them are brilliant and objective. Unfortunately, Trump is getting most of the former. Tired book on that too. Men in black. So what did Hillary Clinton do? She walks the country free. She's gaggling all over the place. She's getting into friendly media. She's laughing about all these indictments. Hillary Clinton should be in prison for her entire life. Over 4,500 criminal statutes in the US code that exist today. The one mostly used are conspiracy, false statements, money laundering, obstruction, perjury, mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, tax evasion. Hillary Clinton. To convict Clinton, it must be shown that she acknowledged that classified emails were contained on her private server. And they said the most recent tally by the State Department of their review of 30,000 Clinton emails indicates at least 671 emails sent or received by Clinton contained classified information. This fact stands in stark contrast to the statement she gave to reporters in July of that year when she said, "I'm confident that I've never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time it was sent or received." According to the October 16th Fox News report, the FBI is also looking to see if Clinton committed gross negligence on the Espionage Act for failure to keep national defense information safe. 18 U.S.C. 793. They're using that against Trump. Notably, the information doesn't necessarily have to be marked as classified to violate the statute. The article citing an intelligence community source who spoke on the condition of anonymity, the intelligence source said, "The subsection requires a lawful possession of national defense information by a security clearance holder who through gross negligence, such as the use of an unsecured computer network, permits the material to be removed or abstracted from its proper secure location." She even hired an IT person on her own, Don, who works for the Department of State to handle the server. That's how much she didn't want anyone to know about the server. By the way, that's a crime too. You're not allowed to subsidize or receive private moneys for doing what is a government job, and that's sort of what he was doing for her at her request, but nobody talks about that. She destroyed over 30,000 e-mails. They destroyed their cell phones. Nobody was dragged in front of a grand jury. There was no search done of her home for any other servers or information. She did an interview. Her staff was permitted to be there. Her lawyers were permitted to be there. Her lawyers destroyed this information based on header information, not substantive information, and she escaped. In the Presidential Records Act that applies to Trump, which gives the president authority over documents like no other official in the government, including a secretary of state or an ex-secretary of state, she didn't have that defense. She didn't have that statute. Trump has that, and he's charged with 40 counts. And he's charged with a total of 91 counts from these three prosecutors. Now, let's look at the Bidens quickly. You have a U.S. attorney, stupidly appointed by Bill Barr, not a special counsel, who for five and a half years, five and a half years investigating under Biden, during the course of the five and a half years, he allows the most significant tax violations to run, that is, outrun the statute of limitations. So good is he at this, that Merrick Garland then appoints him a special counsel to give him more protection and more authority. Shortly after he's appointed a special counsel, another statute runs last week. Did you hear about that? Involving possible bribery. That one's now off the table. This guy created the sweetheart deal and he approved it until the judge stopped them. And now Hunter Biden's lawyers saying, you know, this judge is biased. We need a new judge. That's the guy they pick. The Bidens are involved in bribery, extortion, money laundering, false statements, fraud, far violations and more. No investigation of Joe Biden whatsoever. No grand jury, no U.S. attorney, no special counsel, no public integrity section, nothing. And the man receives tens of millions of dollars, his family does, just because his family is so important. None of them have a real job, not one of them. But they received tens of millions of dollars from the communist Chinese, over $31 million, according to Peter Schweizer, nearly $50 million, according to Congresswoman Mace. We don't even know it's so big. And he's the president of the United States who was bought and paid for, as is his family. Not one investigation of Joe Biden. Look what they're doing to Trump. Look how they're breaking the Constitution. Look how they're breaking the law. The law is being used to destroy the law, very fast now. Be right back. ## Media - video: https://static-assets-1.truthsocial.com/tmtg:prime-ts-assets/media_attachments/files/110/925/100/427/442/033/original/41ee0a67a4cdc455.mp4 ## Engagement - Likes: 19,024 - Reposts: 6,812 - Replies: 651 - Views: unknown - Metrics collected: 2026-02-01T01:19:51.401Z (UTC) # Analysis _Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-20T07:16:08.192Z (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: ts_110925100855397615 **Post:** "A MUST WATCH! PART 2 of 2!@marklevinshow" + video attachment **Date/Time:** 2023-08-21 01:51:55 UTC → **~21:51 EDT (9:51 PM)** on August 20, 2023 (Bedminster, NJ) --- ### Authorship Attribution Timing converts to approximately 9:51 PM local time at Bedminster, NJ (EDT = UTC−4). This falls within Trump's authenticated late-evening posting window. Style markers strongly favor authentic authorship: characteristic ALL-CAPS emphasis ("MUST WATCH"), multiple exclamation points, extreme brevity, and the imperative promotional register are all well-documented Trump baseline behaviors. The tag of @marklevinshow is a casual social-media-native move. No polished grammar, no event logistics, no aide voice markers. **High confidence: authentic Trump post.** --- ### Contextual Frame Posted during one of the most legally pressurized weeks of Trump's post-presidency: the Fulton County indictment (his fourth), a surrender deadline set for August 25, the simultaneous doxxing of Georgia grand jurors, a $200,000 bond with social media restrictions on threatening witnesses, and the quiet cancellation of the promised "irrefutable" Georgia fraud press conference. In this context, amplifying friendly media (Levin is among Trump's most reliable validators in conservative talk) is a functionally defensive behavior—redirecting audience attention toward sympathetic framing. --- ### Level 1: Dispositional Traits The post is too brief for robust trait analysis. What is visible: - **Extraversion**: High — imperative energy ("MUST WATCH"), assertive promotion - **Agreeableness**: Low — no reciprocity, directed rather than collaborative - **Neuroticism**: Minimal signal — no hostile content, no visible reactive affect - The caps and multi-exclamation style is baseline, not deviation --- ### Level 2: Characteristic Adaptations (Motives) **Agency motive (status/power)**: Present but latent. By endorsing Levin's show as "MUST WATCH," Trump positions himself as cultural curator — his imprimatur matters, his attention directs audience behavior. The self-assertion is subtle but real. **Supply-seeking**: The post functions partly as audience activation — driving viewership to a show that will presumably validate his narrative during a crisis week. This is supply-by-proxy: Levin's coverage becomes Trump's validation supply. --- ### Level 3: Narrative Identity Minimal narrative content. The "PART 2 of 2" framing implies continuation of a larger story — Trump is mid-narrative, and his followers are expected to track the serialized arc. No explicit protagonist role defined in this post, but the promotional gesture casts him implicitly as **herald/guide** — the one who tells his audience what is important. --- ### Level 4: Clinical Indicators **Narcissistic dynamics:** This post represents routine **maintenance** behavior — low-intensity audience engagement sustaining parasocial connection during a period when direct self-promotion carries legal and reputational risk (social media bond conditions were in place). Rather than direct self-aggrandizement, he delegates credibility-building to a trusted media surrogate. This is a mild but recognizable adaptive maneuver. **Defense mechanisms:** Minimal observable. **Displacement** is the most plausible inference — energy that might otherwise produce reactive posting about the Georgia indictment or cancelled press conference is channeled into a relatively neutral media promotion. No rage, no splitting visible here. **Cognitive status:** Post is too brief for meaningful cognitive assessment. No anomalies present; language is consistent with baseline brevity register. --- ### Rhetorical Analysis - **Appeal to authority** (Levin as credentialed validator of Trump's narrative) - **Imperative framing** ("MUST WATCH") — commands rather than invites - **Serial urgency** ("PART 2 of 2") — positions content as ongoing, important narrative - **Parasocial technique**: directs follower behavior, reinforcing dependence on Trump as information gatekeeper No violent imagery, no dehumanizing language, no stochastic terrorism indicators. --- ### Danger Assessment **None.** Post is promotional with no threatening content, no identified targets, no grievance articulation beyond implicit framing. --- ### Gaslighting / Reality Distortion None present in this post. --- # ## Authorship Analysis **Self-Written** (score: 75%) ### Indicators - 9:51 PM local time (EDT) at Bedminster NJ — within authentic late-evening posting window - ALL-CAPS emphasis ('MUST WATCH') is a documented Trump signature - Multiple exclamation points consistent with baseline - Extreme brevity with no polished grammar — no aide voice markers - Casual social-media-native @tag format ## Psychological Profile ### State **Grandiose State** **Trigger:** Maintenance (Routine audience activation during legal crisis week) Sentiment: +0.30 ### Clinical **Malignant Narcissism:** - Narcissistic: 20% - Antisocial: 0% - Paranoid: 0% - Sadism: 0% **Defense Mechanisms:** - displacement (neurotic) **Cognitive Complexity:** - Complexity: 10% **Parasocial Techniques:** - Curator positioning — Trump as gatekeeper directing what followers should watch - Supply-by-proxy: Levin's coverage activates validation indirectly - Imperative command ('MUST WATCH') reinforcing follower deference ## Tags - media-amplification (90%) - mark-levin (80%) - supply-by-proxy (60%) - authentic-trump (75%) - maintenance-posting (80%) - legal-crisis-context (70%) ## That day _From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._ **Facing Fourth Indictment and Imminent Arrest, Trump Oscillates Between Grandiose Defiance and High-Danger Prosecutor Targeting** Trump spent the day reacting to mounting legal pressure from his Georgia RICO indictment, with his surrender and mugshot just three days away. The morning began with low-key Levin show promotions before erupting into angry attacks on the DOJ and Fulton County DA Fani Willis. Mid-day brought a brief grandiose interlude celebrating Iowa poll numbers, but the evening culminated in his most intense post of the day — a long, rage-fueled announcement of his upcoming arrest that repeatedly vilified Willis by name. Throughout it all, a pattern emerged: every legal setback was reframed as persecution, every prosecutor cast as the real criminal, and every poll number offered as proof of martyrdom.
