Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his: > are corrupt, mail-in ballots -- you can never have a real democracy with mail-in ballots. And we, as a Republican Party, are going to do everything possible that we get rid of mail-in ballots. We're going to start with an executive order that's being written right now by the best lawyers in the country to end mail-in ballots, because they're corrupt. And do you know that we're the only country in the world -- I believe, I may be wrong, but it's just about the only country in the world that uses it because of what's happened -- massive fraud all over the place. The other thing we want changed are the machines. For all of the money they spend, it's approximately 10 times more expensive than paper ballots. And paper ballots are very sophisticated with the watermark paper and everything else. We would get secure elections. We'd get much faster results than machines. I mean, they say we're going to have the results in two weeks. With paper ballots, you have the results that night. Most people almost -- but most people, many countries use paper ballots. It's the most secure form. So between paper ballots, very, very important. Paper ballots and I think maybe even more important, the mail-in voting. We're going to end mail-in voting. It's a fraud. If you have mail-in -- even Jimmy Carter with this commission, they set it up. He said the one thing about mail-in voting, you will never have an honest election if you have mail-in. And it's time that the Republicans get tough and stop it. Because the Democrats want it. It's the only way they can get elected. Because with men and women's sports and with transgender for everybody and open borders and all of the horrible things -- and now the new thing is they love crime. They're fighting me on the fact that I've made Washington, D.C., safe. We're not going to get mugged, beaten up or killed like all the people you've been watching get so badly hurt. I'm glad -- I hate to take your time with this, but I'm glad you asked me that question. We're going to stop mail-in ballots because it's corrupt. You know, when you go to a voting booth and you do it the right way and you go to a state that runs it properly, you go in. They even ask me. They ask me for my license plate for identify. I said, I don't know if I have it. They said, sir, you have to have it. I was very impressed, actually. But it's very hard to cheat with mail-in voting. As you know what happens in California, it's so corrupt where some people get five, six, seven ballots delivered to them. Now, we've got to stop mail-in voting. And the Republicans have to leave the charge. The Democrats want it because they have horrible policy. If you have mail-in voting, you're not going to have many Democrats get elected. That's bigger than anything having to do with redistricting, believe me. And the Republicans have to get smart. We're not going to have a country. I said for a long time at rallies, you need borders and you need free and fair elections. Those two things. Otherwise you don't have. We have strong borders now. In 90 days, Mr. President, we didn't have one zero, zero, and three months. Not one person came in illegally into our country. In fact, even I find that hard to believe, but it's run by a little bit of a liberal group that put out the numbers. So I guess it's zero, zero, and zero. You go back a year ago, two years ago, three millions of people poured into our country. It was terrible. Thank you very much. ## Engagement - Likes: 6,460 - Reposts: 1,622 - Replies: 171 - Views: unknown - Metrics collected: 2026-02-01T01:19:51.299Z (UTC) # Analysis _Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-22T03:38:21.753Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._ # Analysis: Bare URL Repost from @realLizUSA ## Post Overview This post consists solely of a URL linking to a Truth Social post by @realLizUSA, with no original commentary. The linked content could not be retrieved due to Truth Social's JavaScript-dependent rendering. Analysis is therefore limited to the behavioral act of reposting. ## Authorship Attribution Posted at approximately 6:59 AM ET (assuming Mar-a-Lago residence), this falls in the early morning zone. The post is part of a series of reposts/shares on this date, a pattern consistent with either Trump's early-morning scrolling habit or an aide queuing supportive content. Confidence is low; scored at 0.4 (slightly more likely aide). ## Psychological Observations The serial reposting of supporter content is a well-documented supply-seeking pattern — broadcasting validation from followers to reinforce grandiose self-concept. This is routine maintenance behavior rather than a response to any specific trigger. ## Limitations Without access to the @realLizUSA post content, no assessment can be made of the specific themes, claims, or rhetorical strategies being amplified. The analysis is constrained to the meta-behavior of reposting itself. ## Authorship Analysis **Uncertain** (score: 40%) ### Indicators - Simple URL share with no commentary - Morning hours (~7am ET if at Mar-a-Lago) - Pattern consistent with aide-curated repost queue ## Psychological Profile ### State **Grandiose State** **Trigger:** Supply Seeking (supporter content) Sentiment: +0.10 ### Clinical **Malignant Narcissism:** - Narcissistic: 40% - Antisocial: 10% - Paranoid: 10% - Sadism: 0% **Defense Mechanisms:** - idealization (immature) **Cognitive Complexity:** - Complexity: 0% **Parasocial Techniques:** - signal boosting loyal supporters to model desired follower behavior ## Tags - repost (100%) - supply-seeking (50%) - content-inaccessible (100%) ## That day _From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._ **Grandiose Maintenance Day Punctuated by Museum Censorship Threat and Powell Attack** Trump spent the day in a self-congratulatory groove, sharing flattering links and supporter posts in the early morning before pivoting to policy grievances in the afternoon. The most striking moment was an attack on the Smithsonian and American museums for being too focused on slavery and hardship — paired with a directive to have attorneys intervene in museum content. A batch of roughly a dozen political endorsements dropped all at once in the late afternoon, almost certainly staff-produced. The day closed with a familiar broadside against Fed Chair Jerome Powell over interest rates, but nothing spiraled — the mood stayed confident and combative throughout.
