Post from Truth Social

This Rigged Trial, brought by the Racist New York State A.G. Letitia James before Trump and developer Hating Judge, Arthur Engoron, which should have never been brought in that the so-called STAR WITNESS, SleazeBag Lawyer (for many people) Michael Cohen, admitted last week on the stand that he LIED, and also that your favorite President, Donald J. Trump, or anyone from the Trump Organization, NEVER TOLD HIM TO INFLATE VALUES ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, the opposite of what he told the A.G. in order to get this HOAX started. Therefore, on that fact alone, this Fake Case should be dismissed. Additionally, however, the Financial Statements Values are Conservative (LOW!), Mar-a-Lago is worth MUCH MORE than $18,000,000, there is a 100% Disclaimer Clause on the 1st page of the Statements, the Banks and Insurance Companies were paid in full, no defaults, they all made money, and there is no Victim (except me!). Leave my children alone, Engoron. You are a disgrace to the legal profession!

Posted at 2:28 AM local time by a 77-year-old defendant under an active gag order, this post represents an acute narcissistic rage episode triggered by compound injury: a pre-trial fraud liability ruling, a $10,000 gag order fine four days earlier, adverse witness testimony from Cohen, and compelled family testimony. Psychological state oscillates between grandiose ("your favorite President, Donald J. Trump") and victimized ("except me!"), consistent with the mixed narcissistic state under sustained legal threat. Defense mechanisms are predominantly pathological and immature: denial of a court-established fraud finding ("HOAX," "Fake Case"), projection of deception onto Cohen while mischaracterizing his testimony, splitting of all trial participants into perfect villains, and acting out through direct judicial confrontation recapitulating the exact behavior that produced the gag order fine. The climactic personal address to Judge Engoron — "Leave my children alone, Engoron. You are a disgrace to the legal profession!" — is clinically significant: it demonstrates impaired inhibitory control under narcissistic injury conditions, persisting despite documented legal consequences. Danger level is elevated: while not stochastic terrorism, the public degradation and direct confrontation of a sitting judge by a high-profile defendant with a demonstrably reactive follower base creates a meaningful intimidation dynamic. All central factual claims are misleading or false, with the core claim — that Cohen's testimony exonerates Trump — constituting a material mischaracterization of the trial record. The parenthetical "(except me!)" inadvertently refutes the very argument it concludes.

Danger Assessment

Elevated

Indicators:
  • Direct personal address to sitting judge while under active gag order with prior violation on record
  • Post recapitulates exact conduct type that produced $10,000 fine on October 26 — suggests unmodulated escalation
  • Public degradation of named judicial officer ('disgrace to the legal profession') before millions of followers
  • 'Leave my children alone' framing constructs judicial proceeding as personal assault on family — receivable as requiring protective response by followers
  • Pattern of targeting: James, Engoron, Cohen all named with degrading epithets — repeated public identification of targets
Gaslighting Detected:
  • DARVO: Defendant found liable for fraud positions himself as the sole victim ('except me!')
  • Characterizing a pre-trial-liability-established legal proceeding as 'HOAX' and 'Fake Case'
  • Mischaracterizing Cohen's testimony to claim exoneration not supported by trial record
  • Framing the AG's race as the case's origin ('Racist New York State A.G.') — attacks on perception of institutional motive
  • 'Rigged Trial' — denial of legitimacy of proceedings already producing documented legal findings
Reality Distortions:
  • Claims no victim exists in a case where the court already issued a pre-trial fraud liability finding
  • Characterizes Cohen's testimony as exonerating Trump when the substance of the trial testimony was adverse
  • Frames a court-ordered civil fraud proceeding as 'Rigged' and politically motivated without evidentiary basis
  • Implies the disclaimer clause would legally nullify fraud findings already ruled upon
Fact Checks (6)
"Michael Cohen admitted on the stand that he LIED"
Half True

Cohen acknowledged under cross-examination making prior false statements. However, his core trial testimony about Trump Organization practices was maintained. The claim accurately captures a concession but misrepresents its scope and effect on the overall testimony.

"Cohen admitted Trump/Trump Organization NEVER TOLD HIM TO INFLATE VALUES"
Mostly False

Cohen's testimony distinguished between explicit verbal instructions and the organizational practices and culture of value-setting he participated in. The prosecution's case relied on documentary evidence, organizational patterns, and Weisselberg's involvement, not solely on a single explicit instruction. Trump's characterization selectively extracts cross-examination concessions about explicit verbal commands while ignoring the broader evidentiary basis.

"Mar-a-Lago is worth MUCH MORE than $18,000,000"
Half True

$18M was a Palm Beach County property tax assessment value, not a market valuation. The property's true market value is genuinely disputed between experts. The AG alleged inflation to $739M; Trump's team argued substantially higher market values. The claim that $18M understates market value is plausible but unestablished as fact.

"There is a 100% Disclaimer Clause on the 1st page of the Statements"
Mostly True

Disclaimer language was present in the financial statements. Its legal efficacy as a fraud defense was contested by the prosecution and rejected by the court in the pre-trial liability ruling.

"The Banks and Insurance Companies were paid in full, no defaults, they all made money"
Mostly True

Factually accurate that lenders were repaid. The AG's theory of harm focused on distorted loan terms, pricing, and market integrity rather than default alone, meaning repayment does not legally negate fraud.

"There is no Victim (except me!)"
False

The September 2023 pre-trial ruling by Judge Engoron already established that fraud occurred. The NY AG argued victims include the financial system, lending institutions (who received distorted information affecting pricing), and the state. The claim had already been adjudicated unfavorably before this post was written.
