Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his: > And tonight, Tim Wall's radical stances on abortion and gender issues are under scrutiny. Just last year, he signed a bill allowing unlimited abortion access in the state of Minnesota, which includes no limitations on when in the pregnancy a woman may have an abortion given the option of an abortion up until the moment of birth. Radical, extreme, dangerous. I keep reminding you. Meanwhile, just earlier this year, in a bizarre unprecedented move, Kamala Harris became the first sitting vice president to visit an abortion clinic when she stopped at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Minnesota alongside her future running mate, Tim Walls. And after a year of anger and fear mongering from the left following the Dobbs decision, a new study found that the number of abortions has actually gone up since Roe is overturned. But it's not just abortion. The new Democratic Party ticket has taken an extreme stance on. In just March of last year, Walls signed an executive order. Doing what? Protecting transprocedures on minors. And by the way, without parental consent. Here with reaction broadcaster, New York Times best selling author, Elizabeth Asselback. Elizabeth, let's get your take on all of it. Let's start with no parental notification on gender affirming surgery and treatments. - Sean, thank you for having me tonight and hello to all your viewers there. Number one, I'd like to say if we learn anything from the Olympic, Sean, it's that performance matters. And since the Kamala Harris and Walls ticket has no performance to run on because they let cities burn down and our border be open and fentanyl and illegal weapons come in and threaten our children, our teenagers, our college kids, why would we think they would protect our children when it comes to their God-given identity or their right to life? It's low expectation when it comes to their radical riptide. So that's what they're running on. A radical riptide hoping to drown voters so that they can't see nor breathe properly to cast a vote for anything that resembles an ounce of integrity. Here's my issue, Sean. This is an attack on parenthood. I would normally say take a breath, swim to the side out of the riptide and don't get emotionally distracted. But this is an attack on the value of life. And this is an important matter to God. This is God's creation, God's masterpiece. Our children, pre-born children and children out of the womb to confuse them about their gender. God will handle that. He's sovereign. When it comes to abortion, and I do believe we need to keep an eye on the moderate Republican Donald Trump advanced ticket that right now just needs to kind of sit back and let crazy look crazy. They're doing that enough. But it is important to note that not only are they creating a force field behind more abortions in their state, and I read some research today that 5,000 women who went in to have an abortion said they just didn't feel like having another child. They will highlight situations that seem extreme. But at the same time, Sean, what's deeply concerning is that they're defunding pregnancy centers. These centers are ones that I've worked with on a national level that actually comfort women, don't cast shame on them. When they find themselves in a situation with an unplanned pregnancy, unexpected pregnancy, they provide them sustainable support and equip them to have an awesome, peace-filled life with their child because God cares about both the mom and the child, and they have options and support. I'm deeply saddened that this is increasing, but not surprised that the radical agenda is running on this. Sean, they're just not supporting it. They're running on this. Actually, they should fear the day they meet their own maker. I would love to know of Wahl's wife if she took prenatal vitamins at any point. Do they value life in the womb as they should? It has a value. It's an amazing creation by God with a plan and a purpose. And if there's a woman out there who needs to know that she's valued without shame, she should go to these pregnancy centers. And Americans watching, if you feel like there's nothing you can do, go support them. Go donate to the pregnancy centers that he's defunding in his state and put some money behind them because they're doing good things in supporting women. Our family has decided to walk this out in a different way. We have taken in, and it's been a blessing to us newborns who would have otherwise potentially been aborted, but they found, their moms found pregnancy centers that supported them. And for the first month of life, that mom just needs to know that their support, their sustainability with the plan, that they're loving arms to hold her baby and maybe she's reunited in some cases and maybe that baby is placed. But there are options out there that this radical riptide wants eliminated and we need to stand for our children. - You know, it's just sad. I mean, okay, up to the moment of birth, talk about radical on abortion, no parental rights on something as serious as that. By the way, for the record, I think that was more interrupted talk time that you had than all your years combined on the view. I'm just saying, without somebody jumping in and annoying you and annoying anybody that was watching. We appreciate you being with us. Elizabeth Hasselback. ## Media - video: https://static-assets-1.truthsocial.com/tmtg:prime-ts-assets/media_attachments/files/112/923/968/937/310/164/original/47f246ceb9a23f73.mp4 ## Engagement - Likes: 10,937 - Reposts: 3,198 - Replies: 430 - Views: unknown - Metrics collected: 2026-02-01T01:19:51.341Z (UTC) # Analysis _Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-25T07:21:32.857Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._ ## Summary Following Harris's VP selection of Walz on August 6, this post is one of five same-day coordinated attacks, representing a preemptive-supply-seeking response to rival positive momentum. The grandiose "VETTING" frame positions Trump as uniquely capable investigator. ALL-CAPS splitting ("EXTREME") and displacement onto the VP pick rather than Harris are characteristic defenses. Aide-produced video content with potentially authentic Trump text posting given late-evening local time. No clinically significant deviation from baseline campaign-mode patterns. # Analysis: "VETTING TIM WALZ'S EXTREME RECORD" — August 8, 2024 ## Contextual Frame Kamala Harris announced Tim Walz as her VP selection on August 6, 2024 — two days before this post. This post is one of **five coordinated same-day attacks** on Walz, forming a rapid-response information operation triggered by a rival gaining positive media momentum. The temporal context is critical: Trump is responding to a rival's peak positive narrative moment with a saturation-volume attack strategy. --- ## Authorship Attribution **UTC 02:10:26 = ~10:10 PM EDT** (Trump was likely at Bedminster, NJ in August; Eastern Daylight Time = UTC−4). This falls within the late-evening authentic Trump posting window. However, several indicators complicate a clean attribution: - **Authentic indicators**: Late-evening local timing; ALL CAPS format; emotionally charged framing - **Aide indicators**: Part of a coordinated 5-post series with professional video attachments; uniform headline structure; polished campaign language ("VETTING...RECORD" reads like opposition research branding) **Assessment**: Likely hybrid authorship — aide-produced content (video, talking point framing) with possible Trump personal posting. Authorship confidence is medium. The series architecture suggests Scavino-level coordination; the timing suggests Trump may have personally pressed send. --- ## Psychological State & Triggers **Primary trigger**: Supply-seeking/preemptive attack in response to comparative threat. Harris selecting Walz generated substantial positive press, representing a rival claim to media dominance and public attention — the core narcissistic resource. The five-post attack series is consistent with reassertion of information control following rival positive momentum. **Narcissistic state**: **Grandiose**. The "VETTING" frame is a self-aggrandizing identity claim — positioning Trump as uniquely rigorous investigator, implicitly accusing the media of inadequate due diligence. This is not the wounded/vulnerable narcissistic state; it is dominant and presumptuous. **Agency motivation** dominates overwhelmingly (0.9/1.0). There is no communion content — no appeal to shared values or solidarity. Pure power/control assertion. --- ## Defense Mechanisms 1. **Splitting** (immature): "EXTREME RECORD" applies a binary all-bad label to a 25-year political career without qualification. No nuance permitted; Walz is categorically dangerous. 2. **Displacement** (neurotic): Primary competitive threat is Harris, but aggression is redirected to the softer, less established target of Walz. This is also visible in the sister post "HIDING HARRIS" — Harris is avoided as a direct combatant, Walz absorbs the bulk of the attack series. 3. **Projection** (immature): "VETTING" implies others failed proper scrutiny — projects investigative inadequacy onto media/Democratic party while claiming Trump's operation fulfills the role. --- ## Rhetorical Techniques - **ALL CAPS dominance signaling**: Maximizes emotional arousal, bypasses deliberative processing - **Loaded hyperbole**: "EXTREME" activates threat schemas; positions Walz outside mainstream acceptability without requiring evidence - **False specificity**: "RECORD" implies documented, sourced evidence — lending quasi-official authority to attack framing - **Firehose volume model**: Five distinct attack angles in a single day (China, COVID, extreme record, hiding Harris) — RAND-model saturation designed to overwhelm with volume rather than persuade with precision - **Preemptive narrative definition**: Establishing "Walz = extreme" before public has formed independent impressions of him --- ## Fact Verification | Claim | Verdict | Evidence | |-------|---------|----------| | "Tim Walz has an extreme record" | **Mostly False** | Tim Walz served as Minnesota Governor (2019–present) and U.S. Representative (2007–2019) with a record that included progressive legislation in Minnesota (cannabis legalization, free school meals, abortion protections) but was widely described by analysts as a pragmatic Midwestern moderate, not an ideological extremist by measurable legislative standards. | Overall Veracity: 20% ## Cognitive Status Post is insufficiently complex to yield cognitive inference. The formulaic ALL CAPS headline format provides no spontaneous speech data. **No deviation from baseline** observable; assessment deferred to more linguistically rich samples. --- ## Danger Assessment **None**. Standard political opposition content. No dehumanizing language, no eliminationist framing, no stochastic terrorism indicators. The attack is reputational, not threatening. --- ## Longitudinal Pattern Note This post, viewed in isolation, is unremarkable. Viewed in series, it reveals a coordinated rapid-response infrastructure now operating around Trump's personal account — a shift toward more professionalized campaign communication architecture that intermixes with authentic late-night posts. The "EXTREME" label for Walz will be tracked for escalation toward dehumanizing framing in future posts. ## Authorship Analysis **Uncertain** (score: 40%) ### Indicators - UTC 02:10 = ~10:10 PM EDT — within authentic Trump late-night posting window - ALL CAPS formatting consistent with authentic Trump style - Part of a coordinated 5-post series with professional video attachments — suggests aide-led operation - Polished headline structure differs from stream-of-consciousness authentic posts - Rapid-fire same-day series more consistent with campaign rapid-response infrastructure than organic posting ## Psychological Profile ### State **Grandiose State** **Trigger:** Preemptive Attack — Comparison (Harris/Walz VP announcement generating positive rival momentum) Sentiment: -0.65 ### Clinical **Malignant Narcissism:** - Narcissistic: 60% - Antisocial: 30% - Paranoid: 30% - Sadism: 20% **Defense Mechanisms:** - splitting (immature) - displacement (neurotic) - projection (immature) **Cognitive Complexity:** - Complexity: 20% **Parasocial Techniques:** - ALL CAPS urgency signaling to base - Implied revelation — 'I will show you what they're hiding' - In-group/out-group activation via 'EXTREME' label ## Fact Checks (1) _The model's verdicts from 2026-03-25._ > Tim Walz has an extreme record **MOSTLY FALSE** Tim Walz served as Minnesota Governor (2019–present) and U.S. Representative (2007–2019) with a record that included progressive legislation in Minnesota (cannabis legalization, free school meals, abortion protections) but was widely described by analysts as a pragmatic Midwestern moderate, not an ideological extremist by measurable legislative standards.

The morning brought a long, emotionally charged attack on Harris that peaked in catastrophist language about national destruction, followed by a midday escalation where he labeled critics of his allied judges as "CRIMINALS" committing "ILLEGAL" acts. A brief flash of vulnerability appeared when he complained about media ignoring his crowd sizes while amplifying Harris's. The day closed with a sweeping demand that all his legal cases be dismissed, revealing the sustained pressure of Jack Smith's revised indictment running beneath the campaign bluster.
