After what's been exposed with the daycares in Minnesota, I'm a licensed private investigator in California. I started looking into state records and I found ghost daycares. These are places where the state inspectors showed up. There would be 28 kids enrolled and there were no kids there in the middle of the day and in the middle of the week. All right. So a ghost daycare, is that something Gavin Newsom could say, all right, you know, we'll try to shut that down. Does he cooperate when you start raising this? No, in fact, today it got word from the governor's office. There's been a directive to actually shut down public access. So right now you can't even search the own state website to look into these ghost daycares. But I have found a workaround. Okay. Well, we don't want to tell the governor that you found a workaround. So, but it does sound like he's trying to cover his tracks. Like this is a cover up. We're talking about billions of dollars in California. Today in New York, Kathy Hochul, she said she wants to increase childcare subsidies to 4.5 billion. We're talking about the same amount in California, if not even more.

Authorship Analysis

Aide-Written

Indicators:

Posted ~17:00 CET (Davos local time) on a heavily scheduled summit/travel day — ordinary waking hours, not the late-night window typical of self-authored posts
No written text accompanies the post, so no stylometric markers (typos, tangents, ALL CAPS) are available to support or refute personal authorship
Part of a rapid sequence of same-day reposts, a pattern consistent with either personal scrolling/retruthing or staff account curation during a busy travel day
Content aligns thematically with the week's press-briefing emphasis on state-level fraud/crime, suggesting deliberate narrative reinforcement whether or not the subject personally selected this specific clip

Overview

This is a media-only repost (no original Trump text) of a local-news-style segment in which a self-described licensed private investigator alleges she has uncovered "ghost daycares" in California — facilities collecting state subsidy money for enrolled children who are not actually present — and alleges the Newsom administration moved to restrict public access to the relevant state records after her inquiries began. The segment closes with a comparison to New York Governor Kathy Hochul's proposed $4.5B increase in childcare subsidies. Because there is no written text from the subject, stylometric and linguistic-baseline analysis is inapplicable; this analysis is restricted to the selection/amplification act and its narrative function.

Selection and amplification

The clip does three things useful to the subject's ongoing narrative: (1) alleges fraud and a cover-up inside a Democratic-governed state (California/Newsom), echoing the week's dominant theme (Minnesota daycare fraud, raised at his own anniversary press briefing days earlier); (2) frames a Democratic governor as actively obstructing transparency, supporting a broader "corrupt blue-state governance" schema; (3) pivots to Hochul's subsidy proposal, implying that Democratic-led states combine fraud with profligate spending. No independent claim is made by the subject himself — the factual assertions (existence of "ghost daycares," billions in exposure, the alleged directive to restrict site access) originate entirely with the segment's interviewee/host and are not entered as the subject's own fact claims.

Level 2/3: motives and narrative

Agency motive dominates: positioning against out-group political figures (Newsom, Hochul) via surrogate voice, reinforcing a contrasting-other narrative (corrupt/complicit Democratic officials) against an implicit self-cast role of exposer/watchdog — consistent with the anniversary-week emphasis on crime/fraud enforcement. This is a preemptive/maintenance-type amplification rather than a reaction to acute personal injury.

Clinical/danger

No dehumanizing language, no violent imagery, no direct grandiosity or rage markers are present in the amplified content itself. Danger level: none. Confidence in all above readings: low-to-medium, since the content is filtered entirely through a third-party segment.

Authorship attribution

No stylometric evidence is available. Timing only: posted 16:09 UTC Jan 20; that day the subject's flight to Davos departed a backup aircraft shortly after midnight Eastern (~05:00 UTC) following an Air Force One mechanical issue, putting arrival in Switzerland (CET, UTC+1) in the early-to-mid afternoon local time — i.e., this post at ~17:00 CET falls in ordinary waking/business hours, not the late-night window most associated with self-authored posting. Combined with several other same-day reposts in rapid succession during a heavily scheduled travel/summit day, this pattern is at least as consistent with staff-managed account activity as with the subject personally curating content. This assessment concerns who selected/queued the clip for posting, not who is speaking in it or who wrote any text (there is none). Confidence: low.
