Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his: > Fox News alert. Elon just rescued two astronauts that Biden left floating around in space for nine months. The SpaceX Dragon's splashdown in the Gulf of America during the five. As you can see there on your screen continuing to monitor progress of the Dragon spacecraft. And we're going to stand by for a splashdown located in the Gulf of America off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida and splashdown crew nine back on Earth after they hit the Gulf SpaceX rescue crews motorboated the pod into the mothership where they popped open the hatch and pulled them out. SpaceX is go for recovery personnel to approach. We can see folks on board clapping as our first crew member. And that is NASA astronaut Nick Haig commander of crew nine now out of crew dragon freedom. Some smiles thumbs up in a wave can't get any better than that. When he was first elected Donald Trump promised to save the forgotten men and women of America no matter where they were in the Rust Belt or on the space station. Elon Musk offered to bring these astronauts home months ago. But Joe Biden was too insecure to let Elon and by extension Trump be a hero during the election. So Joe let him float. You're going to help rescue next month two astronauts that I think were men and they dispute that in an interview. When the president's request we or instruction we are accelerating the return of the astronauts which was postponed kind of to a ridiculous degree. They got left in space. They've been there. There was supposed to be there eight days that they're almost 300. Biden. They were put. Yes they were left up there for political reasons which is not good. This is a unifying moment for the country. Everyone's sitting around the TV watching our people splash down. But some people aren't grateful. They won't give Elon any credit and they won't even call it the Gulf of America. And they're still covering up for the big guy. Let me say something. I was watching the previous your previous program the five and they're talking about abandoned and they were stranded by President Biden. That is not true. They have had a spacecraft up there since September that was going to bring them home. They've always had a ride home and the decision to keep them up there had nothing to do with politics. It was just the fact that you need crew members to operate the space station. And they were the two that were there. And you had to send up a vehicle with two empty seats. So the safest thing to do was to just leave them there. They've always had a ride home. That was Democrats Senator Mark Kelly's brother by the way. If they always had a ride home why did it take so long. When I landed the airport I don't wait around. I get home as fast as I can. Why would I wait for a train that's coming in an hour if I can get an Uber like that. And why are Democrats defending Biden stranding our people in space. For a guy who's always had a ride home this astronaut sounds pretty grateful. Listen we're coming back before long. So you know don't make all those plans without me. I can tell you about the outset. We have all of us have the utmost respect for Mr. Musk and obviously respect and admiration for our president of the United States Donald Trump. We appreciate them. We appreciate all that they do for us for a human space flight for our nation. Biden let our country get invaded. He allowed men in women's locker rooms let down kids during covid took forever to open up the economy. There was never any urgency inflation. It'll go away. There was no fight in this man. He led American hostages with her all over the world. The minute Trump selected their back this Ukraine war would have gone on forever. Biden never even picked up the phone and called Putin once. Trump spent two hours on the phone with Vlad today and they hashed out a semi ceasefire. Biden let America die and fell asleep on the beach because he didn't care. You're not going to get all you want all at once. I know. But Biden never even tried bringing back astronauts is like what makes us proud. When have you known America to just give up the army's credo is no man left behind. And that credo is founded on hard work and ingenuity. And we're applying those principles to saving our country from bankruptcy. Look what Doge uncovered. I call a magic my computer a computer which can just make money out of thin air. Best magic money. So how does that work. It just issues payments. And you said something like 11 of these computers at Treasury that are sending out trillions in payments. They're mostly a treasury. Some are with the some at HHS. So I'm at this once I wanted to its date. There's someone at DOD. I think we found now 14 magic money computers where they OK. They just send money out of nothing. Democrats are begging him to use a scalpel while there's magic money machines pumping out billions of dollars. Doge is cleaning up Social Security payrolls. Three million people over the age of 120 were finally officially declared dead. The VA just Doge taxpayer funded gender affirming prosthetics. Not only were they having orgies at the VA on the clock at the hospital. They went home with goodie bags and the Democrats are furious because much caught must cut them stealing. One of the biggest scam footholds we've uncovered which is really crazy is is that is that the government could give money to a so-called nonprofit with with very few controls. And then that and there's no auditing subsequently of that nonprofit. They then give themselves extremely lavish like insane salaries expense everything to the nonprofit by jets and homes and all sorts of things like live like kings and queens. Yes. On the taxpayer. Correct. You you mentioned happening at scale. It's not just one or two. We're seeing this everywhere. It's so bad the bureaucrats are locking themselves in their office like their Bruce Willis and diehard. One Fed bunkered himself under his desk and called Wolf Blitzer like it was breaking news saying Doge has broken into our building. And if you think CNN can save you CNN can't even save themselves. Washington ripped you off and stabbed you in the back. And Schumer says you're the one with an attitude. They are controlled by a small group of wealthy greedy people. And you know what their attitude is. I made my money all by myself. How dare your government take my money from me. I don't want to pay taxes or I built my company with my bare hands. How dare your government tell me how I should treat my customers. My the land in order water that I own or my employees. They hate government. Government's a barrier to people. The barrier to stop them from doing things. They want to destroy it. We are not letting them do it. And we're united. Schumer saying you're greedy and his party just got caught fleecing you to buy strap ons. We don't want to destroy government. No one's even saying that. We're just saying the same things Democrats including Schumer have been saying for decades. There's tremendous waste in government. And I think any Democrat who ignores the lessons the lessons of those who voted the lessons of the last election makes a mistake. The people did want government to cut out the waste and to shrink. Chuck's trotting out that old Obama line. You didn't build that that when Americans work hard and are successful. They owe a lot of that to the government. Anyone who owns a business knows the government gets in the way of business. And if the government got out of the way just even a little bit business would be booming. And Elon's business used to be booming. But now the media is calling on Americans to dump his stock and are looking the other way while Tran Tifa torches Teslas. But you'll see a Tesla vehicle catch fire momentarily. You'll see the suspect pop up right next to the Tesla vehicle. That individual then appears to be reaching into some kind of bag or backpack and then he'll walk back and forth from that vehicle that's already on fire to another vehicle. The loud bang that you just heard we believe was a gunshot that was fired into one of the Tesla vehicles and a longer version of the clip. There are two gunshots in addition to that that are heard. Also point out that we have recovered at least one unignited Molotov cocktail located in one of the Tesla vehicles. This is what the mob does when they get caught. They let your car on fire to send a message. Right Senator Mark Kelly whose brother just made a fool of himself just sold his Tesla and bought two gas guzzlers. All right here I am with my new ride Chevy. Good old Chevy Tahoe here in Washington DC. Got one of these in Tucson as well. This one was made by Union Labor United Auto Workers in Arlington Texas. Always good to buy union cars. Incredibly reliable and I'm looking forward to driving this for many many years. Democrats are admitting they don't even believe in global warming. Trump just made Democrats admit global warming is a hoax. Musk's cars were supposed to save the planet and they're lighting them on fire and buying Chevy Tahoes. Democrats aren't interested in saving the country. They're only interested in saving themselves. Trump's saving lives money factories and women whether Whether they like it or not. ## Media - video: https://static-assets-1.truthsocial.com/tmtg:prime-ts-assets/media_attachments/files/114/190/415/003/032/081/original/9cea1ff7caa524b8.mp4 ## Engagement - Likes: 10,161 - Reposts: 2,380 - Replies: 406 - Views: unknown - Metrics collected: 2026-02-01T01:19:51.315Z (UTC) # Analysis _Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-22T00:15:50.943Z (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_114190418201271249 **Date:** 2025-03-19 | **Platform:** Truth Social | **Local Time (EDT):** ~2:05 PM --- ## Authorship Attribution **Assessment: Aide-written (high confidence)** Posted at 2:05 PM Eastern — firmly within White House communications business hours. The post requires zero original composition: a verbatim Fox News quote attributed to Jesse Watters, paired with a video clip. This is the canonical Scavino/comms operation template. No typos, no emotional ejaculations, no incomplete thoughts. Contrast with authentic Trump posts (typically late night/early morning, emotionally reactive, typographically impulsive). The content is institutionally favorable and architecturally clean. --- ## Contextual Hook The "outer space" flourish is not random. NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore had just returned on approximately this date after 286 days aboard the ISS — a genuine news event the comms team is exploiting to extend Trump's messianic claim of protection to a newly salient symbol. The joke-hyperbole ("even in outer space") converts a coincidence into evidence of omnipotent guardianship. --- ## Personality Frameworks ### Level 1: Dispositional Traits Minimal signal in an aide-authored quote post. The selection of this clip reveals the subject's appetite for third-party grandiosity — low agreeableness baseline, high extraversion (public performance orientation), low openness (recycling founding myths rather than generating new ideas). ### Level 2: Characteristic Adaptations **Agency motive dominant:** Power and status maintenance via proxy flattery. The "forgotten men and women" schema is the most durable audience-bonding mechanism in the subject's repertoire — it simultaneously flatters the base and casts the subject as their protector. **Supply-seeking trigger:** No narcissistic injury present. This is routine maintenance: curating favorable media to sustain audience admiration and reinforce identity myth. ### Level 3: Narrative Identity - **Protagonist role:** Omnipotent Savior / Man of the People who keeps promises regardless of scale - **Narrative sequence:** Redemption (original 2016 promise invoked → present-day fulfillment implied) - **Identity claim:** "I promised to save everyone; I am delivering, even to astronauts in orbit" - **Contrasting other:** Implicitly, the "establishment" that forgot these people before Trump - **Archetype:** Hero/Savior with a Trickster undertone (the "outer space" joke disrupts expectations humorously while extending the heroic claim) ### Level 4: Clinical Indicators No clinically significant markers. Mild grandiosity by proxy. No rage, no paranoia, no antisocial content. Narcissistic features present at low amplitude (0.3/1.0) — the ambient level for this subject's public communications, not a spike. --- ## Defense Mechanisms **Idealization (immature):** Outsourcing grandiosity to Watters rather than asserting it directly. This is a sophisticated form of impression management — appearing humble while consuming the same flattery. --- ## Cognitive Status Not assessable from this post. Aide-authored quote posts are not valid windows into the subject's language production. No cognitive markers present or absent to note. --- ## Danger Assessment **Level: None.** No eliminationist language, no dehumanization, no stochastic terrorism pattern, no violent imagery. Routine supply-maintenance operation. --- ## Fact Verification | Claim | Verdict | Evidence | |-------|---------|----------| | "President Trump promised to save the forgotten men and women of America when first elected" | **True** | Core campaign and Inaugural Address (January 20, 2017) language; extensively documented | | "Trump's protection extends to Americans 'in outer space'" | **Unverifiable** | Rhetorical hyperbole by Watters, opportunistically tied to Sunita Williams/Barry Wilmore ISS return (286 days, returned ~March 2025). Not a policy claim subject to fact-checking. | Overall Veracity: 75% ## Summary Not generated. Post does not meet clinical significance threshold. This is a routine aide-curated media amplification operation with no psychological signal from the subject himself. ## Authorship Analysis **Aide-Written** (score: 15%) ### Indicators - Posted at 18:05 UTC = 2:05 PM ET (Washington DC, March 2025, EDT) - Business-hours posting strongly consistent with aide (Scavino) operation - Post is a clean media clip embed with a properly formatted attributed quote — no typos, no stream-of-consciousness - No emotional reactivity, ALL CAPS, or impulsive asides - Structural format (quote + video attachment) is standard comms-team template ## Psychological Profile ### State **Grandiose State** **Trigger:** Supply Seeking (Jesse Watters / Fox News) Sentiment: +0.72 ### Clinical **Malignant Narcissism:** - Narcissistic: 30% - Antisocial: 0% - Paranoid: 0% - Sadism: 0% **Defense Mechanisms:** - idealization (immature) **Cognitive Complexity:** - Complexity: 0% **Parasocial Techniques:** - Third-party validation: using Watters as credibility proxy to deliver praise Trump cannot deliver directly without appearing immodest - Reactivating the founding myth ('forgotten men and women') to reinforce audience identity and belonging - Implicit humor/triumph via 'outer space' — a wink to the Sunita Williams/Wilmore return that invites audience delight ## Fact Checks (2) _The model's verdicts from 2026-03-22._ > President Trump promised to save the forgotten men and women of America when first elected **TRUE** Core campaign and Inaugural Address (January 20, 2017) language; extensively documented Sources: 2017 Inaugural Address; 2016 campaign speeches > Trump's protection extends to Americans 'in outer space' **UNVERIFIABLE** Rhetorical hyperbole by Watters, opportunistically tied to Sunita Williams/Barry Wilmore ISS return (286 days, returned ~March 2025).

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.
