> Trump's remaking the United States of America. We can start there with tariffs. What are we talking about? No tacos for Trump. The effect of tariff rate. Get this. Eighteen percent. It is the highest, Omar. The highest since the 1930s. Up from, get this, just two percent last year. As I'm going to talk about in this segment, I can't think of a more influential president during this century. And it starts here with tariffs. He said he was going to raise tariffs. And despite the claims otherwise, he is, in fact, doing that. The effective tariff rate at this point looks to be nine times as high as it was last year. The highest since the 1930s in FDR, Omar. And the effective tariff rate is up from two percent last year for those that might see the banner there. Tariffs, though, aren't the only way Trump's remaking policy in America, right? It is not the only way that Trump is remaking America. What are we talking about? Well, let's jump. The other big thing that Trump ran on, right, was immigration. How about net migration in the United States? Get this. It's down. It's going to be down at least 60%. We may be dealing with, get this, negative net migration to the United States in 2025. That would be the first time there is negative net migration in this country in at least 50 years. We're talking about down from 2.8 million in 2024. So, Donald Trump ran, has always run on tariffs, and he's run on a hawkish line on immigration. And on both of those issues, we are seeing record high tariff rates for this century going all the way back, well back into the early part of the 20th century. And when it comes to immigration, net migration, we are seeing record low levels way down from where we were during the Biden administration. We are potentially looking at negative net migration for the first time in at least 50 years. And that is a big reason why that I'm saying that Trump, at least in my mind, is the most influential president certainly this century, and probably dating a good back chunk into the 20th century as well, Omar.

# Analysis

_Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-09-08T23:04:55.975Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._

## Analysis: Post ts_115939592232357820 (2026-01-22)

**Content type:** No original text. The post consists solely of a broadcast news clip (cable-news style panel discussion, host addressed as "Omar") in which the correspondent argues that Trump is "the most influential president... certainly this century," citing an 18% effective tariff rate (highest since the 1930s) and a projected drop — possibly negative — in net migration for 2025. All propositional content originates with the broadcast speakers, not the subject. Per protocol, these third-party claims are not attributed to Trump and are excluded from `factChecks`.

**The analyzable behavior is selection/amplification.** Trump curated and republished a segment that (a) validates his signature policy claims (tariffs, immigration enforcement) with favorable framing, and (b) explicitly proclaims him the most consequential president in over a century — a superlative comparison implicitly reaching back past FDR. This is consistent with a well-documented pattern of amplifying third-party praise as a substitute for self-generated grandiosity, allowing flattering claims to circulate under his own account without him having to assert them directly (a lower-effort, plausibly-deniable route to the same self-aggrandizing effect).

**Level 2/3:** The chosen clip reinforces a "transformative historical figure" self-schema and a hero/change-agent narrative identity, with tariffs and immigration restriction as the pillars of a redemption/legacy narrative (decline under predecessors → restoration under him).

**Level 4:** Best read as narcissistic supply-seeking/maintenance rather than injury-driven; no rage, no grievance target, no danger indicators. The behavior is mildly consistent with grandiosity (satisfaction with being called the era's most influential leader) but the affect is not extreme enough, and the modality (repost, no commentary) too thin, to support a clinically significant summary.

**Authorship:** No stylometric evidence exists (no original text). Posting time (16:03 UTC) falls in mid-morning Eastern time, closer to typical staff-posting hours than Trump's characteristic late-night/early-morning window, and the post occurred during his return travel from Davos — a period when staff frequently handle his account. Confidence is capped at low, and the attribution question here concerns who selected/queued the clip, not who wrote anything, since there is no text to analyze.

## That day

_From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._

**A Davos victory lap punctured by one poll, and a day that ends naming enemies instead of accomplishments**

Trump wrapped up his Davos trip with a heavy posting day — 53 posts in about seven and a half hours, most of them a rapid-fire burst of video clips and self-reposts that looks staff-driven rather than personal. The mood turned sharply in the early afternoon when a New York Times poll put his approval in the low 40s: he fired off three posts in under twenty minutes calling polling fraudulent, threatening to fold the pollster into his lawsuit against the paper, and suggesting inaccurate polls should be close to a crime. That spiral crested minutes later with his angriest post of the day, calling former special counsel Jack Smith a "deranged animal" who deserves worse than legal consequences. He recovered for a few hours with travel notes, a lawsuit headline and a new World Expo bid for Miami, then closed the night by floating a fourth term, demanding an immediate criminal investigation of Rep. Ilhan Omar over an unverified wealth figure he'd picked up from a video earlier that day, and casting Supreme Court tariff litigants as China-aligned and only "in some cases Americans." Despite the volume, there's no sign of a sleepless night — everything landed inside normal waking hours in both his departure and destination timezones.
