Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his: > As you know early voting is underway so when the polls open tomorrow we're here, we're finally here. And you know we're way up in your, I want to say, look let's do it this way, the main thing is to win. Let's say we're one point down, I don't want to tell you, we're actually up, but I want to say we're one point down, everybody get to the polls so we get these horrible politicians out of there. We want to get rid of them. You know we're actually up in the polls in Pennsylvania and Michigan and Arizona just came out, we're up in Arizona very substantially. We're way up in the polls and the only place we're down, New York Times has a headline that we're down a little bit. But the only poll, every poll, you got to see these polls, they're the best polls, New York Times as we call it, the failing New York Times, it's fake news. people is sick. You remember in 2016 they had to do an editorial apologizing to their readers because they said, "He's going to lose. He's going to lose. I swear he's going to lose." And then I won and they lost thousands and thousands of, I love that, it's going to happen again. No, I came on today to the plane and Susie and everybody says, "Sir, you're up in this poll. You're up in this poll. You're up in this poll. You're up in every poll." And then I picked up the New York Times and said, "I'm losing by a whisker." They hope. They hope. No, they're fake news. You know, they're all fake news. These people, they're totally crooked. They're so crooked. They're the enemy of the people. They are. They are the enemy of the people. So get everyone you know and vote immediately because that's the only one that counts, you know? November 5th, that's called our big poll. That's the real poll, right? And they're going to cheat like hell and everything else. You know, if they only cheat a lot, we're in great shape. But if they cheat in record-setting numbers, which they're capable of doing, I can't promise, but they are cheaters. That's the way they do. When they have their first meetings, they, their first, our first meeting is where would be a good place to go? How about Scranton? You know what their first meeting is? Their first meeting is how do we cheat? How do we cheat? That's all that. Because, you know, when you think about it, who can win with high taxes, open borders, allowing murderers to come in? You saw that last week. 13,099 murderers allowed to come in through them. Over three and a half, 13, many of them have murdered more than one person. Is there anybody in the audience that's in that group, please? Because if they are, we want to get the hell out of here or get him out of here. If we win Pennsylvania, we win the whole thing. It's very simple. ## Media - video: https://static-assets-1.truthsocial.com/tmtg:prime-ts-assets/media_attachments/files/113/279/450/074/922/793/original/e54ffb512cd7a488.mp4 ## Engagement - Likes: 8,878 - Reposts: 2,338 - Replies: 229 - Views: unknown - Metrics collected: 2026-02-01T01:19:51.331Z (UTC) # Analysis _Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-28T00:51:33.762Z (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_113279450139502763 **Platform:** Truth Social | **Date:** 2024-10-09 | **Local Time:** ~4:53 PM EDT --- ### Authorship Attribution UTC 20:53:54 converts to **4:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time**. Trump was physically present in Pennsylvania on this date — the same-day RT confirms "Just landed in Pennsylvania!" and a Scranton rally is documented. This is active campaign-day business hours, not the late-night/early-morning window associated with authentic personal posting. The post itself is a four-word caption paired with a video attachment. Structural hallmarks of aide production dominate: no typos, no syntactic fragmentation, no personal voice, purely logistical campaign content. The ALL-CAPS formatting of the state name is consistent with Trump's visual style (and may represent light Trumpian styling applied by campaign staff), but the post contains none of the emotional reactivity, opinion expression, or stream-of-consciousness characteristic of authentic posts visible in the same day's thread (Howard Stern attack, 60 Minutes grievance, Charles Payne endorsement). Assessment: **Aide/campaign staff authored**, likely Dan Scavino or campaign digital team. The video attachment strongly suggests coordinated production. Confidence: **high**. --- ### Psychological State and Triggers Insufficient personal content to assess psychological state with confidence. Contextually, Trump is in GOTV campaign mode during the final 27 days before election day (as stated explicitly in the adjacent authentic post). The trigger is institutional/campaign: early voting windows open, and mobilization messaging is required. This is **maintenance** behavior — routine audience activation rather than a response to narcissistic injury or a supply-seeking episode. The surrounding authentic posts on the same day display a more activated psychological state: attacks on Howard Stern (narcissistic injury response, devaluation defense), grievance about 60 Minutes (paranoid vigilance, persecution framing). This post exists as a clean contrast — emotionally flat, functionally informational — confirming aide authorship. --- ### Defense Mechanisms None identifiable in this post. The content is too sparse and impersonal to reveal defensive operations. --- ### Narrative Identity At the macro-campaign level, this post implicitly invokes the **Hero/Savior archetype** and the **Order Restorer** positioning: Trump has returned to Pennsylvania (the site of the July 13 assassination attempt at Butler Farm Show), mobilizing his base to participate in electoral restoration. The ellipsis ("…") creates a sense of ongoing momentum and forward motion — narrative continuation rather than closure. No explicit identity claims, contrasting others, or redemption/contamination sequences are present in the text itself. --- ### Rhetorical Techniques - **ALL CAPS urgency**: "PENNSYLVANIA" functions as a visual attention signal, consistent with campaign banner aesthetics - **Present-tense immediacy**: "IS UNDERWAY" creates a sense of active, unfolding stakes - **Visual media pairing**: The MP4 attachment does the persuasive heavy lifting; the text functions as a headline/caption - **Mobilization frame**: Implicit call to action without explicit imperative (the video likely contains the CTA) No dehumanizing language, violent imagery, or stochastic terrorism indicators present. Danger level: **none**. --- ### Fact Verification | Claim | Verdict | Evidence | |-------|---------|----------| | "Pennsylvania early voting is underway (as of Oct 9, 2024)" | **Mostly True** | Pennsylvania's mail-in/absentee ballot request and return window was open by this date for the November 2024 general election. Pennsylvania does not have traditional in-person early voting, but mail-in voting constitutes the functional equivalent. The claim accurately reflects an open voting window. | Overall Veracity: 80% ## Authorship Analysis **Aide-Written** (score: 10%) ### Indicators - Business hours posting (4:53 PM EDT) - Trump physically in Pennsylvania at a campaign rally — active campaign day - No typos or grammatical irregularities - Zero personal opinion or emotional content - Attached video suggests coordinated production team ## Psychological Profile ### State **Grandiose State** **Trigger:** Maintenance (Campaign GOTV cycle) Sentiment: +0.30 ### Clinical **Malignant Narcissism:** - Narcissistic: 10% - Antisocial: 0% - Paranoid: 0% - Sadism: 0% **Cognitive Complexity:** - Complexity: 5% **Parasocial Techniques:** - Mobilization/activation of base through urgency framing ## Fact Checks (1) _The model's verdicts from 2026-03-28._ > Pennsylvania early voting is underway (as of Oct 9, 2024) **MOSTLY TRUE** Pennsylvania's mail-in/absentee ballot request and return window was open by this date for the November 2024 general election. Pennsylvania does not have traditional in-person early voting, but mail-in voting constitutes the functional equivalent. The claim accurately reflects an open voting window.

His sharpest anger was aimed at CBS's 60 Minutes, which he accused of illegally doctoring a Kamala Harris interview — a grievance he circled back to three separate times. He also lashed out at Howard Stern for interviewing Harris, calling him a "beta male" in an attack that read more like personal betrayal than political strategy. The overall mood was confident and aggressive, with brief flashes of anger but no sustained spiral — a high-volume campaign day where rally adrenaline and media grudges competed for attention across 27 posts.
