Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his: > Texas Congressman and former Fort Bend County Sheriff, Troy Nels, joins us now. Troy, so great to have you on. So you sent this letter warning Americans, you know, two years ago, essentially it's a public letter. You sent it to Secretary Mayorkas. You were tipped off, I believe, by Border Patrol who said that Homeland Security was telling them to look out for the prisoners. But then when you, as a member of Congress, asked for official intel information, they said no. Why do you think Secretary Mayorkas refused to tell you or respond to your letter? - Rachel, thank you for having me. Of course, the Border Patrol, they wanted to warn the American people. Their report that said that Venezuela was gonna send a lot of very, very bad, dangerous people to the southern border. And I sent the letter in September of 2022 to Mayorkas and I asked him 10 questions. I said, hey, listen, Border Patrol has this report out there. Tell us what your plan is. Confirm or deny the report. We heard nothing, nothing from this administration. And sadly, around the same time I sent that letter to Mayorkas with my concerns regarding the individuals coming up through Venezuela, that's around the same time that Ebarra fella, that murder, that thug, came through the southern border in the great state of Texas and then ended up obviously taking Riley's life a month or so ago. So it's just sad. We have no way to know who these individuals are. There's no system in place. - Right, and these gangs are so violent. Tren de Agua, they were running those prisons. And again, there's no way that our government, our intel agencies, who seem to know everything about all of us, especially if you're a conservative, don't know that Nicolas Medors was emptying these prisons. And they know the havoc that these gang members were doing all over Latin America, and they were coming up here. What can you do now? I mean, you're a member of Congress, you sent this letter, there have been tragic deaths now that you can say, "Hey, this is why this is happening." What can happen from this point forward? - Well, I sent another letter just two weeks ago to Mayorkas. I don't expect to hear anything back from the administration, but your viewers need to understand that when President Trump said in 2016, he said, "Hey, listen, they're not gonna send us their best. "They're gonna send us the murders, the rapists." And he's right again, he's right all the time. And so the American people are gonna understand when these individuals enter the southern border, there is no database, there is no way a guy can give us a name, Mr. Abara, we can't check them to see what kind of a person he was in Venezuela. And when you parole these individuals, you just release these individuals, you're releasing the murders and the rapists. And we have the data, sadly, the evidence to show such. So in order to stop this, you have to revert back to Trump's policies that remain in Mexico. You have to do it, you can't let these people into this country, and now New York is paying for it, the American people are paying for it. It's gonna be real interesting to see now what happens with the amount of Haitians that are gonna want to enter this country with the issues they have. - Yeah, they just empty their prisons as well. So who's vetting when they come across? Is it always border patrol? 'Cause I understand that NGOs are also vetting. - Yeah, you can't trust the NGOs, come on. They're working with this administration to help get these individuals into this country. Shame on them and we gotta look at their funding too. If we're funding NGOs to help with this administration to get these people into this country. But again, remember, Rachel, this is all by design. It's all by design. These individuals are coming into this country. It's by design by the administration, that's where I wrote a book on it. And everything Trump has said. Everything Trump has said, Rachel, has come true sadly. Revert back to Trump's policies. There's nothing, we're gonna do nothing about the southern border sadly in Congress. It's not gonna happen. It's gonna take Donald J. Trump to come back and address this situation once and for all. - You know, Congress has the power of the purse. It just makes me so mad that we fund an agency that is actively doing nothing, as Chinese and gang members, violent gang members, are coming across our border. It's just, it's unbelievable. I really appreciate you coming on. And again, following up with these letters, I know they're not doing anything, but at least we're bringing attention to the fact that some people in Congress are trying to get something done about this. Thank you, Congressman, appreciate it. ## Media - video: https://static-assets-1.truthsocial.com/tmtg:prime-ts-assets/media_attachments/files/112/105/607/774/140/724/original/170c7e66e2ccb716.mp4 ## Engagement - Likes: 7,461 - Reposts: 2,413 - Replies: 336 - Views: unknown - Metrics collected: 2026-02-01T01:19:51.365Z (UTC) # Analysis _Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-21T05:43:10.151Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._ ## Summary This brief repost represents routine rally-day amplification, most likely aide-authored given its 8:30 AM Ohio local time and clean structural framing. It functions as pre-rally emotional priming: the "BIDEN BORDER CRISIS" compound label deploys splitting and displacement defenses to frame immigration as Biden's exclusive failure, seeding threat-activation prior to Trump's Vandalia rally — where the "bloodbath" remarks would follow hours later. The post is consistent with the day's coordinated messaging pattern across at least three border/MAGA-adjacent posts on 3/16. No acute narcissistic injury is detectable; the trigger appears to be maintenance/political rather than reactive. No overt danger signals appear in the text itself, though the post participates in a broader fear-frame ecosystem on a day of documented rhetorical escalation. Cognitively, the sample is too brief for meaningful assessment. Psychologically unremarkable as an isolated artifact, the post gains significance as a component of the day's message architecture, reinforcing an order-chaos frame in which Biden is the chaos agent and Trump is the implied restorer — consistent with Level 3 narrative identity patterns observed across the corpus. # Analysis: Truth Social Post — March 16, 2024 (ts_112105607950978244) ## Overview This post is a repost of a video featuring Congressman Troy Nehls discussing border policy, tagged with Trump's framing label "BIDEN BORDER CRISIS." The post is brief, functionally instrumental, and thematically consistent with the day's broader posting pattern (at least three posts on this date touch on borders, legal issues, or MAGA messaging). The post occurs on a high-activity day: Trump held a rally in Vandalia/Dayton, Ohio, where he delivered the widely-covered "bloodbath" remarks. This makes the post part of a coordinated rally-day message amplification pattern. --- ## Authorship Attribution **UTC timestamp:** 13:30:24 **Location:** Ohio (Eastern Time, UTC−5) **Local time:** 8:30 AM EST 8:30 AM local time is firmly within business hours and falls outside Trump's documented late-night/early-morning authentic posting window. The formatting is clean, the phrasing is structured ("Congressman Troy Nehls, this morning—on the BIDEN BORDER CRISIS…"), and it amplifies allied political figures — a classic Scavino-era amplification pattern. The single ALL-CAPS element ("BIDEN BORDER CRISIS") could reflect either Trump's authentic style injection or a deliberate mimicry of it for authenticity signaling. **Assessment:** Likely aide-written or aide-assisted (moderate confidence). Rally-day morning posts often represent pre-scheduled or staff-coordinated amplification content. The post lacks the impulsive stream-of-consciousness texture of authentic Trump; it reads as a brief, purposeful framing vehicle. --- ## Psychological State Despite its brevity, the post reflects Trump's characteristic externalization and blame-attribution architecture. The compound label "BIDEN BORDER CRISIS" does three things simultaneously: (1) denies agency from the subject (Trump) on the issue, (2) fully attributes fault to Biden, and (3) frames the border as a *crisis* — activating fear-based threat cognition in the audience. On a day when Trump was preparing to give a major rally speech (the "bloodbath" rally), this post appears to be early-morning audience priming — seeding the emotional frame before the live event. No direct narcissistic injury is visible in this post. The trigger appears to be **maintenance/supply-seeking** rather than reactive rage. The post is politically operational, not psychologically defensive. --- ## Defense Mechanisms - **Projection/Displacement** (immature): Attribution of "crisis" exclusively to Biden displaces systemic, multi-administration policy failures onto a single political opponent. The word "CRISIS" implies acute causality, masking historical complexity. - **Splitting** (immature): Binary framing (Biden's crisis vs. implied Trumpian order) employs classic all-bad/all-good object partitioning. Biden represents pure failure; the subject implicitly represents its opposite. --- ## Rhetorical Analysis - **Labeling/framing**: "BIDEN BORDER CRISIS" is a manufactured compound label that fuses the opponent's name to a negative noun — a branding technique designed for repetition and memetic spread. - **Appeal to authority**: Congressman Nehls lends institutional legitimacy to the political frame. - **Ellipsis as urgency signal**: The trailing "…" creates suspense and implies the video contains something revelatory. - **CAPS for emphasis**: "BIDEN BORDER CRISIS" — conventional Trump rhetorical signature, though here likely aide-deployed. - **No dehumanizing language** in text (video content unreviewed). --- ## Narrative Identity At Level 3 (McAdams), this post reinforces the contamination-to-rescue narrative: the current state is chaos (CRISIS), the source is named (Biden), and the implied corrective agent is the subject himself (through political contrast). The protagonist role is **Order Restorer** — the one who names the chaos and, by implication, offers the alternative. --- ## Cognitive Status Post is too brief for substantive cognitive assessment. No word-finding difficulty, paraphasia, or tangentiality is observable. Sentence structure is intact. No deviation from baseline detectable in this sample. --- ## Fact Verification | Claim | Verdict | Evidence | |-------|---------|----------| | "BIDEN BORDER CRISIS — implying Biden is solely/primarily responsible for a crisis-level border situation" | **Half True** | CBP recorded 2.4M+ encounters in FY2023 under Biden, representing genuine operational strain. However, attributing this exclusively to Biden ignores multi-decade legislative failures, Trump-era policy changes (MPP termination litigation), and structural migration drivers. 'Crisis' conditions are real; singular Biden causation is reductive political framing. | Overall Veracity: 50% ## Danger Assessment **Danger level: Elevated (low end).** The post itself contains no explicit violence, dehumanization, or stochastic terrorism signals. However, border rhetoric in this period contextually amplifies threat-based framing of immigration — a frame that, in the broader ecosystem of Trump's March 16 communications (including the "bloodbath" rally), contributes to a fear-and-enemy activation pattern. The specific post alone warrants "none" to "elevated" classification. --- ## Summary This brief repost represents a routine rally-day amplification post, most likely aide-authored given its 8:30 AM Ohio local time and clean structural framing. It functions as pre-rally emotional priming: the "BIDEN BORDER CRISIS" label deploys splitting and displacement defenses to frame immigration as Biden's exclusive failure, seeding threat-activation prior to Trump's Vandalia rally — where the "bloodbath" remarks would follow hours later.

No acute narcissistic injury is detectable; the trigger appears maintenance/political. No overt danger signals are present in the text itself, though the post participates in a broader fear-frame ecosystem that contextually elevates concern. Cognitive status cannot be meaningfully assessed from this sample. Psychologically, the post is unremarkable as an isolated artifact but gains significance as a component of the day's message architecture, supporting an order-chaos frame in which Biden is chaos-agent and Trump is the implied restorer. ## Authorship Analysis **Aide-Written** (score: 25%) ### Indicators - 8:30 AM Eastern time — business hours, outside Trump's late-night/early-morning authentic window - Clean structured formatting: 'Congressman Troy Nehls, this morning—on the BIDEN BORDER CRISIS…' - Amplification of allied political figure — classic Scavino coordination pattern - Rally-day morning post consistent with pre-scheduled staff content - Single ALL-CAPS element may be aide mimicry of Trump's authentic style ## Psychological Profile ### State **Grandiose State** **Trigger:** Maintenance (political messaging cycle / rally day) Sentiment: -0.55 ### Clinical **Malignant Narcissism:** - Narcissistic: 20% - Antisocial: 10% - Paranoid: 10% - Sadism: 0% **Defense Mechanisms:** - projection (immature) - splitting (immature) **Cognitive Complexity:** - Complexity: 20% **Parasocial Techniques:** - Sharing allied congressman's video to build political coalition - MAGA brand reinforcement through consistent messaging ## Danger Assessment **ELEVATED** ### Indicators - Border crisis framing participates in a broader fear-activation ecosystem on this date (rally day) - Part of coordinated messaging pattern on a day when Trump delivered the 'bloodbath' remarks at the Vandalia rally - Sustained crisis labeling without nuance can prime threat-based responses to immigration among the audience ## Fact Checks (1) _The model's verdicts from 2026-03-21._ > BIDEN BORDER CRISIS — implying Biden is solely/primarily responsible for a crisis-level border situation **HALF TRUE** CBP recorded 2.4M+ encounters in FY2023 under Biden, representing genuine operational strain.

The morning featured routine self-promotion before a gloating burst over Nathan Wade's resignation from the Fani Willis prosecution -- the emotional high point of the day. The rally itself produced the widely debated "bloodbath" remark about auto industry tariffs, while the evening was consumed by aide-driven amplification of rally coverage and a cluster of immigration-focused articles weaponizing the Laken Riley case. The mood stayed uniformly grandiose with no defensiveness or vulnerability, making it one of the more psychologically stable days on record despite the inflammatory rhetoric.
