Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his: > Illegal border crossings into our country have plummeted to historic lows under President Trump's watch. Last February, Joe Biden caught and released 77,000 illegals at the border. This February, under Trump, the numbers won. That's one lucky guy. Biden didn't just roll out the red carpet for these people. He also let crooked NGOs stuff their pockets with your money. One Texas nonprofit took $3 billion to help house migrant kids and then gave all their executives huge raises while staffers allegedly sexually abused them or even handed the kids over to traffickers. Trump's taking a different approach. He's offering Biden's illegals an olive branch in the form of an ultimatum. Leave now on your own or risk the consequences. My administration is launching the CBP home app to give people in our country illegally an easy way to leave now and self-deport voluntarily. If they do, they could potentially have the opportunity to return legally at some point in the future. But if they do not avail themselves of this opportunity, then they will be found, they will be deported, and they will never be admitted again to the United States ever, ever again. You're never coming in. The message is clear. Leave voluntarily or leave like this, Narco. A convicted fentanyl dealer who was seen crying like a baby as she was iced. You would think deporting drug dealers and gang bangers would be a unifying issue, but you'd be wrong. Obama judge James Boseberg tried putting the kibosh on Trump's deportation flights over the weekend. And it turns out his family might be compromised. Boseberg's daughter works for migrants. She gives them illegal advice and protects them from getting deported. Oh, and happened to call the Lake and Riley Act to terrible law. Oh, and his wife founded an abortion clinic and hosted Doug Emhoff to speak at her event. Is that a conflict of interest? Someone should look into that. In the meantime, Trump says the judge should leave defending the homeland of the president. Many people have called for his impeachment, the impeachment of this judge. I don't know who the judge is, but he's radical left. He was Obama appointed. And he actually said we shouldn't be able to take criminals, killers, murderers, horrible, the worst people, gang members, gang leaders, that we shouldn't be allowed to take them out of our country. Well, that's a presidential job. That's not for a local judge to be making that determination. And the media is taking the side of the gang bangers still, comparing their Irish grandparents to trendail agua members. On this St. Patrick's Day, as millions of Americans celebrate their Irish heritage, recent events remind us that the Irish were among the first immigrants to be targeted in deportation crackdowns. In the mid-1800s, New York and Massachusetts enforced policies to have Irish immigrants rounded up and deported. The American Civil Liberties Union didn't exist then, but if it had, it may have taken the legal position it is taking now, suing the Trump administration to stop what it considers to be the illegal deportation over the weekend of more than 200 migrants to El Salvador. The big difference now, the administration says many of those flown to Central America are considered by the government to be terrorists. ## Media - video: https://static-assets-1.truthsocial.com/tmtg:prime-ts-assets/media_attachments/files/114/190/403/856/050/880/original/9bf86585fe4e81e2.mp4 ## Engagement - Likes: 7,946 - Reposts: 1,804 - Replies: 337 - Views: unknown - Metrics collected: 2026-02-01T01:19:51.315Z (UTC) # Analysis _Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-22T00:18:46.171Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._ # Analysis: ts_114190404566893251 — "ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS PLUMMET UNDER TRUMP" ## Authorship Attribution **Verdict: Aide-written (high confidence)** Post time converts to **14:01 ET** (mid-afternoon business hours). The content is a single quoted headline with an attached pre-produced video — a textbook content-calendar amplification post. No typos, no first-person voice, no emotional volatility, no stream-of-consciousness markers. This matches the established Scavino/comms-team pattern of broadcasting favorable earned media coverage. Zero authentic Trump linguistic fingerprints are present. --- ## Psychological State The post operates in **maintenance/supply-seeking mode** during a stable **grandiose state**. No narcissistic injury trigger is detectable. The rhetorical strategy of using a third-party headline rather than direct first-person assertion is psychologically efficient: it harvests narcissistic supply (external validation of greatness) while maintaining the surface appearance of reporting rather than boasting. The **eponymous branding** — "under Trump" — reflects the longstanding identity-merging pattern in which personal identity and statistical policy outcomes are rendered interchangeable. Achievement belongs to the person, not the institution. --- ## Defense Mechanisms - **Rationalization** (neurotic): A complex, multi-causal trend attributed entirely to personal leadership - **Distortion** (pathological): Statistical movement presented as direct personal causation, erasing seasonal variation, prior-administration trajectory, and staffing continuity --- ## Rhetorical Analysis Structurally efficient propaganda: third-party headline format conveys what direct self-assertion would convey less credibly. "PLUMMET" is the key loaded term — implying decisive, dramatic causation. "UNDER TRUMP" performs the causal attribution without making a technically falsifiable causal claim. Format mimics journalism while functioning as campaign content. The same-day CBP Home App post indicates a coordinated border-security messaging push across the account. --- ## Contextual Note The post occurs amid a charged immigration backdrop — the Alien Enemies Act deportation battles, federal court challenges, and gang-related deportation flights to El Salvador. This border "win" framing provides favorable counter-narrative to legal setbacks receiving media attention in the same period. --- ## Fact Verification | Claim | Verdict | Evidence | |-------|---------|----------| | "Illegal border crossings plummet under Trump" | **Mostly True** | CBP encounter data for January–March 2025 showed significant reductions in southwest border encounters following Trump's inauguration, executive orders, and military deployments. 'Plummet' overstates magnitude and elides contributing factors including seasonal variation and enforcement continuity from prior administration. | Overall Veracity: 80% ## Summary Assessment Low clinical signal. Routine, aide-executed supply-seeking amplification post. No cognitive markers assessable from a single quoted headline. No danger indicators. Stable grandiose baseline. ## Authorship Analysis **Aide-Written** (score: 15%) ### Indicators - Post time 14:01 ET — mid-afternoon business hours - Zero typos or spontaneous language errors - Format is a single quoted headline — consistent with content scheduling workflow - Attached video file implies pre-produced coordination with comms team - No first-person voice, emotional exclamation, or ALL CAPS personal commentary ## Psychological Profile ### State **Grandiose State** **Trigger:** Supply Seeking (favorable earned media coverage) Sentiment: +0.72 ### Clinical **Malignant Narcissism:** - Narcissistic: 40% - Antisocial: 0% - Paranoid: 0% - Sadism: 0% **Defense Mechanisms:** - rationalization (neurotic) - distortion (pathological) **Cognitive Complexity:** - Complexity: 10% **Parasocial Techniques:** - Vicarious pride induction — followers share in the claimed achievement - Third-party credibility lending — headline format implies objective confirmation of greatness ## Fact Checks (1) _The model's verdicts from 2026-03-22._ > Illegal border crossings plummet under Trump **MOSTLY TRUE** CBP encounter data for January–March 2025 showed significant reductions in southwest border encounters following Trump's inauguration, executive orders, and military deployments. 'Plummet' overstates magnitude and elides contributing factors including seasonal variation and enforcement continuity from prior administration. Sources: CBP monthly encounter statistics (January–March 2025); DHS border security executive orders (January 2025) Overall Veracity: 80% ## Tags - border-immigration (90%) - supply-seeking (70%) - aide-authored (85%) - earned-media-amplification (80%) - grandiose-state (50%) - eponymous-branding (75%) ## That day _From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._ **Stable Grandiosity Across All Fronts, Punctuated by Four Discrete Rage Targets** Trump spent the day projecting strength across multiple fronts from the White House — celebrating economic data, issuing a public ultimatum to Iran over Houthi support, and claiming credit for SpaceX's astronaut return. The sharpest moment came in a late-night attack on a federal judge blocking deportations, calling the jurist a "Radical Left Lunatic" and warning the country was "destined to fail." He also publicly targeted Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich for disloyalty and framed anti-Tesla protests as terrorism in defense of Elon Musk. The overall mood was confident and combative, with scattered flashes of anger directed at four distinct targets that never built into a sustained spiral.
