When they double down, we triple down. So men and women are going to keep standing up. They're going to keep doing the job. They're working for the greatest president in my lifetime. People are going to say what they want about President Trump, his success on the board. We got the most secure border in the history of the nation today. Criminal threats, illegal and criminal threats arrested and deported are the record high, much higher than Joe Biden. So the men and women are actually doing the job. They took an oath to do this job. They love doing this job. They're going to keep doing this job. No one's going to scare them away. No one's going to bully them from doing their job. Men and women are just going to stand up every day and hit the streets. We've got over 1,000 teams all across the country operating today, operating yesterday, operating tomorrow. We're going to keep doing our job. The protests, you can protest all you want. You can do all the violence you want. I should be back out there again tomorrow morning.

Fact Checks (2)

"Most Secure Border in the History of the Nation today"

Mostly False

While border encounters dropped significantly in early 2025 due to executive orders and enforcement surge, 'most secure in history' is hyperbolic. Earlier periods (pre-1990s) had far less unauthorized crossing. Metrics are also cherry-picked.

"Criminal Threats arrested and deported are at a Record High, much higher than Joe Biden"

Half True

ICE arrests of criminals increased substantially under Trump 2.0 due to expanded enforcement priorities, but 'record high' depends on which metric and timeframe. Biden-era deportations were also historically high in later years.

Analysis: Tom Homan Quote-Boost on Border Security

Overview

Trump shares a video clip of Tom Homan (Border Czar) praising his border enforcement record. The post is entirely a quoted passage with no original commentary from Trump, functioning as narcissistic supply amplification — letting a subordinate deliver the grandiose claims on his behalf.

Authorship

Posted at 10:07 AM ET (Trump likely in DC/East Coast area given recent birthday parade). Business hours, clean formatting, proper quotation marks, no typos or emotional reactivity. This is almost certainly aide-posted content (likely Scavino) — a curated media clip repost.

Psychological Function

This is textbook narcissistic supply harvesting. The quote contains: "Greatest President in my Lifetime," "Most Secure Border in the History of the Nation," "Record High" — all superlatives directed at Trump, delivered by a loyal subordinate. By quoting rather than self-declaring, the grandiosity appears externally validated.

Rhetorical Devices

Third-party testimony: Using Homan as proxy for self-praise
Superlative stacking: Greatest, Most Secure, Record High, History of the Nation
Unfavorable comparison: "much higher than Joe Biden" — devaluation of predecessor
Militaristic framing: "double down / triple down" — combative escalation rhetoric

Context

Notably, amid the Minnesota DFL assassinations and Israel-Iran war, this post focuses on routine border enforcement messaging — suggesting either deliberate avoidance of volatile topics or pre-scheduled content.
