Post from Truth Social

I hope that Major League Baseball is getting ready to put Roger Clemens in the Hall of Fame, a place where he has belonged for many years! 354 Wins, second in Total Strike Outs, Low Earned Run Average, played in 6 World Series, 7 Cy Young Awards (A Record, by 3!), and was, during much of his career, unhittable. Never took drugs, there is no proof that he took drugs, has steadfastly refused that he took drugs. Frankly, I think he has a major lawsuit against Baseball. If it were me, I'd sue them. PUT ROGER CLEMENS IN THE HALL OF FAME, NOW — NOT LIKE YOU DID WITH PETE ROSE, WHEN YOU WAITED UNTIL HE WAS DEAD! That wasn't the deal I made with the Commissioner, Rob Manfred, many months before he died. The deal was that he was going to be put up, immediately, but they waited and waited and waited, and then, put him up because of "death." It shouldn't have been because of death, it should have been because of TALENT! This is not going to happen with Roger Clemens.

This post reveals Trump's characteristic pattern of **projective identification** with accused public figures who deny wrongdoing. The defense of Clemens — "never took drugs, no proof" despite extensive Mitchell Report testimony — mirrors Trump's own rhetorical template for denying allegations. The suggestion to "sue them" reflects Trump's default conflict schema. Most psychologically revealing is the pivot to Pete Rose, where Trump inserts himself as protagonist: "the deal I made with the Commissioner." The narcissistic injury is clear — MLB failed to honor his brokered agreement, undermining his self-concept as master deal-maker. The contamination narrative (good deal → betrayal through inaction) is a recurring Trump template. The ALL CAPS imperative "PUT ROGER CLEMENS IN THE HALL OF FAME, NOW" reflects grandiose expectation that presidential authority extends to private organizations. Several factual claims are inaccurate (strikeout ranking, Cy Young margin, "no proof" of drug use), consistent with baseline carelessness rather than cognitive decline. The post contains mild gaslighting elements in asserting "no proof" exists when substantial documented evidence does.

Gaslighting Detected:
  • Asserting 'no proof' of Clemens' drug use despite documented evidence in the Mitchell Report
  • Reframing acquittal as proof of innocence
Reality Distortions:
  • Clemens is 'second in Total Strike Outs' (actually third)
  • Cy Young record margin is 'by 3' (actually by 2)
  • 'No proof' of drug use despite Mitchell Report testimony
Fact Checks (5)
"354 Wins"
True

Clemens had 354 career wins

"Second in Total Strike Outs"
Mostly False

Clemens is 3rd all-time in strikeouts (4,672), behind Nolan Ryan (5,714) and Randy Johnson (4,875)

"7 Cy Young Awards (A Record, by 3!)"
Half True

7 Cy Youngs is correct and a record, but the next highest is Randy Johnson with 5 — a margin of 2, not 3

"Never took drugs, there is no proof that he took drugs"
Mostly False

While Clemens was acquitted of perjury charges in 2012, the Mitchell Report documented extensive testimony from trainer Brian McNamee about administering PEDs. Acquittal in criminal court does not mean 'no proof'

"Trump made a deal with Commissioner Rob Manfred about Pete Rose"
Unverifiable

Trump has claimed involvement in Rose's case; Manfred has not publicly confirmed specific deal terms

Daily Digest Holiday Weekend on Autopilot: Grandiose Maintenance Masking Judicial Defeats

A low-key Labor Day weekend Sunday spent mostly sharing supportive media clips and praising political allies. The day's main tension point was the federal appeals court ruling against his tariffs, which he reframed as a near-victory by spotlighting the single dissenting judge. He recycled the Russia...
