The post is its media, below._ ## What the media says **Video transcript** (11:29), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong. Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his: > welcome to the savage nation today we're going to talk about what would have happened had camila harris one now you say well why are you talking about it she didn't win i'll tell you why because many people believe that you can't be critical of a president without continuing to support him i disagree entirely the reverse happens to be true healthy respect for a president and for a republic such as ours requires a healthy skepticism and the ability to say you're wrong once in a while all presidencies you see reflect a mixture and amalgamation of many ideas for many different sources many different uh... forces and people some of them are good some of these are very bad presidents are influenced by many factors it's true for donald trump now i came across this article the other day voter remorse forty five percent say it would be better if camila harris had won it's shocking many voters including some who voted for president trump last november now think the country would be in a better situation god forbid if camila harris had won this is shocking by the way the latest raspy simple finds that forty five percent of likely u_s_ voters believe america would be better off now if harris had won the presidential election last year that shocking ten percent of not sure but remarkably sixteen percent of those who voted for trump sixteen percent of those who voted for trump now say america would be better off if harris had one seventy four percent of democrats believe the country would be better off now if harris had been elected president as do twenty two percent of republicans and he is shocking thirty seven percent of voters not affiliated with either major party now say the country will be better off from harris had won this is shocking it's alarming it's going in the wrong direction for president trump and for the republican party now i don't know how accurate this poll is but i thought it was the perfect time to look at what would have happened if trump didn't win in twenty twenty four it would have been a nightmare so i treated this the other day and i said what would have happened if harris had won and i got hundreds of thousands of impressions from people like yourself who commented even elon musk elon musk commented for the first time in all my years of treating and he said it would have been game over that was a very big deal for all of us elon musk responded to michael savage and said game over it would have been game over and it would have been game over if camel i had one here is what would have happened i wrote it's pretty alarming but you better think about it carefully one millions of more illegals would have come over the border if you don't think it's bad now would have been really much worse when biden harris or ruling biden promised a gentler approach to immigration and then biden administration officials struggle to control the southern border even democrats rebelled as these illegal immigrants floating through an open border putting a strain on every part of our lives i've been covering the border for for years and so i know this is not a problem that started with your administration but there was and historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming across the border the first three years of your administration as a matter of fact arrivals quadrupled from the last year of president trump was it a mistake to loosen the immigration policies as much as you did it's a long-standing problem and solutions are at hand and from day one literally we have been offering solutions what i was asking was was it a mistake to kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place since returning to office in twenty twenty five president trump has taken major steps to reshape immigration policy and enforcement fulfilling his promise to execute quote the largest domestic deportation operation in u_s_ history ice and border patrol uh... n_d_h_s_ have done a phenomenal job of removing uh... tens of thousands of them uh... actually nearly one million people have been deported from our country over the past year uh... two million additional self-deportation so nearly three million people have left the united states uh... but again as you pointed out rightfully joe biden and the democrats allowed approximately twenty million people into our country illegally uh... so yes of course the president is committed to ensuring that america is and always will be a nation of loss now you know what happened with ice the left was motivated the left was funded the left rioted the left committed insurrection and provoked the border agents and unfortunately too american citizens were killed and i think that shifted the dialogue unfortunately against immigration enforcement number two number two god forbid had harris won two billions more in health and welfare for fraud the department of health and human services office of inspector general recently participated with key federal state law enforcement partners in the twenty twenty five national health care fraud takedown we are announcing today charges against three hundred and twenty four defendants for their alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving approximately fourteen point six billion dollars in false claims submitted to medicare medicaid and other health care programs today's enforcement action represents the largest health care fraud takedown in american history this action resulted in criminal charges against three hundred twenty four criminal defendants with intended losses exceeding fourteen point six billion dollars making it the largest health care fraud takedown in u_s_ department of justice history and doubling the previous record of six billion dollars let's not forget what else would have gone on with deficit spending on the harris the congressional budget office c_b_o_ announced that the twenty twenty four fiscal year federal budget deficit the amount of government spent over above what it received total revenue was one point eight trillion dollars that makes the biden harris administration by far the biggest deficit spenders in modern history worse yet biden harris also wasted more money than any other administration roughly one trillion dollars not according to michael savage but according to the government accountability office g_a_o_ the biden harris four-year deficit total was seven point six five trillion dollars roughly fifty percent more than donald trump's four-year deficit total of five point five six trillion and that figure included one three point three trillion spent in the fiscal year twenty twenty the first year of the pandemic had trumps fourth year deficit bid in the general range of his first three years it's his total deficit spending would have been about three point five trillion which is less than half of biden harris's actual four-year deficit number three actually one criminals would have been released on the streets for speech controls would have been put in place gun restrictions would have been enacted by harris six more trans propaganda in our schools that was a big one to everybody even democrats with children do you believe the trans gender americans should have access to gender affirming care in this country i believe we should follow the law i mean i think you're probably pointing to the fact that donald trump's campaign has spent tens of millions of dollars they're trying to define you on the s_ i'm asking you to define yourself so just broadly speaking it is your value of my do you believe they should have that access i believe that that people as the law states even on this issue about federal law that that is a decision that doctors will make in terms of what is medically necessary i'm not gonna put myself in the position of a doctor harris has consistently supported the equality act which aims to provide comprehensive protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity blah blah blah harris supports the biden harris administration's interpretation that title nine's prohibition of sex-based discrimination includes sexual orientation and gender identity which means that trans gender students should have supremacy over our normal students in plain english let's not twist the facts that's what it really means that if anyone would have spoken out against it would have been called the hate crime harris opposes the trump administration's ban on transgender people serving in the military advocating for its reversal that was a disaster in the military guys did not like uh... guys who identified as women in the showers with them or let's say female military people didn't like many in showers with them seven had she won higher taxes on everything more d_e_i_ hires what a disaster that has been nine military recruitment would have plunged even lower our military recruitment is going back to an all-time high guys wanna fight for america again they didn't under biden harris uh... do i have to say the police would have been defunded across america camila harris praised defund the police movement in june twenty twenty when you have many cities that have one-third of their entire city budget focused on policing we know that is not the smart way and the best way or the right way to achieve safety this whole movement is about rightly saying we need to take a look at these budgets and figure out whether it reflects the right priorities for too long the status quo thinking has been you get more safety by putting more cops on the street well that's wrong in an interview a day earlier harris lauded los angeles mayor eric garcetti for his decision to slash a hundred and fifty million dollars from the police budget and move it into social services that's a legitimate conversation and it requires a cook but really critical evaluation i plot eric garcetti for doing what he's done you realize how crazy that is in an emergency to call a social worker they would have their brains blown up by the criminals criminals are not like you and i they're not reasonable people that's why they're criminals eleven they would have packed the supreme court you have any idea what that would have led to they wanted to raise the number on the supreme court to sixteen sixteen psychotic leftists which would have ruined america's legal system for the rest of your lives ## Media - video:

Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._ ## Summary Trump shared a Michael Savage broadcast segment presenting a Rasmussen poll showing 45% of voters (including 16% of his own 2024 voters) believe the country would be better off had Harris won — then reframed this unfavorable finding via counterfactual ('imagine the alternative') rather than addressing it directly, closing with Elon Musk's 'game over' endorsement and footage praising his deportation operations. The selection is best read as narrative-control behavior following an ego-relevant data point: rather than engaging with voter remorse on its merits, the amplified content substitutes a worse hypothetical and borrowed high-status validation. This is consistent with rationalization and splitting defenses and a mild narcissistic-injury trigger, but shows no hostility, dehumanization, or danger markers — tone is self-congratulatory rather than aggressive. Authorship of the underlying content is not his; the analyzable act is curation. With no original text, stylometric and cognitive-marker analysis is unavailable, and authorship attribution rests solely on posting time (early-afternoon ET, business hours), which is weak, ambiguous evidence capped at low confidence. This post is a modest but clinically noted example of poll-driven reputation management via media amplification rather than direct rebuttal. ## Post Overview This post carries no original text — Trump shared a ~4-minute clip from Michael Savage's "Savage Nation" broadcast. The segment argues that a Harris presidency would have been a "nightmare," cites a Rasmussen poll finding 45% of voters believe the country would be better off had Harris won (including 16% of Trump voters), and highlights that Elon Musk replied "game over" to a related Trump repost. The clip closes on an interview excerpt where Trump is pressed on whether loosening immigration policy was a mistake; he deflects toward "solutions" rather than answering directly, and the broadcast segues into praising his 2025 deportation operations. ## Analysis of the Selection Act The analyzable behavior is curation, not composition. Trump chose to amplify content that (a) surfaces a poll showing meaningful defection among his own voter base, then (b) immediately reframes that finding as vindication via counterfactual ("imagine if Harris had won instead") rather than engagement with the substance of the remorse. This is a textbook rationalization/reframing defense: an unfavorable data point (16% of his own voters have buyer's remorse) is neutralized by pivoting to a worse hypothetical rather than addressed on its merits. The repeated emphasis on Musk's "game over" reply also functions as borrowed-authority validation-seeking — outsourcing the flattering verdict to a high-status endorser rather than asserting it himself. ## Level 1–3 Framework **Traits:** Selection suggests low openness to disconfirming information (poll data reframed rather than considered) and characteristic assertiveness in curating self-flattering narratives; no direct trait-level inference possible from his own language since none exists. **Characteristic adaptations:** Agency/status motive dominant — the clip's function is narrative control after a reputationally unfavorable data point. Schema: world divided into "golden age under me" vs. "nightmare under them," others (Democrats, wavering voters) framed as needing correction via counterfactual proof. **Narrative identity:** Protagonist cast implicitly as the disaster-averter/hero; contrasting other is Harris/Biden-era immigration chaos. This functions as an implicit redemption sequence (border crisis under Biden → "phenomenal job" of deportations under Trump), consistent with his standard narrative arc. ## Level 4 — Clinical Indicators **Trigger:** Likely a narcissistic-injury response to the poll itself (unfavorable comparison / erosion of supporter loyalty), addressed via preemptive reframing rather than direct engagement. **Narcissistic state:** Grandiose, oscillating with the vulnerable substrate of needing external validation (Musk's comment repeatedly foregrounded). **Defenses:** Rationalization (counterfactual deflection from remorse data), splitting (nightmare vs. golden age binary), idealization of self/devaluation of opposition. **Malignant narcissism dimensions:** Narcissistic features present (grandiosity via curated validation) at low-moderate salience; no antisocial, paranoid, or sadistic content evident in this specific selection — those markers are more salient in the same-week Omar/Tlaib posts, not here. **Rage:** Not present in this clip; tone is self-congratulatory rather than hostile. **Danger indicators:** None in this post specifically. The clip's own content briefly touches immigration enforcement praise but contains no eliminationist or dehumanizing language attributable to Trump's selection choice. ## Rhetorical Techniques (in amplified content) Hyperbole ("shocking," "nightmare," "game over"), appeal to counterfactual/fear, false dichotomy (golden age vs. nightmare), argument from authority (Musk's endorsement), selective statistic emphasis. ## Authorship Attribution No written text exists, so no stylometric evidence is available — this attribution addresses only who *selected* the clip for posting, not who narrated or wrote anything. 18:51 UTC on Feb 27, 2026 converts to roughly 1:51pm ET (assuming standard Washington/Mar-a-Lago base, EST in effect) — squarely within business hours, which is more consistent with staff-scheduled amplification of favorable media coverage than his own late-night impulsive posting pattern (seen two days earlier in the 60+ post overnight frenzy). However, video reposting of favorable coverage is also a known personal habit (e.g., his own prior repost of a similar Harris-counterfactual clip is referenced within this very segment). Given the complete absence of textual evidence, confidence is capped at low. ## Summary Trump shared a Michael Savage broadcast segment presenting a Rasmussen poll showing 45% of voters (including 16% of his own 2024 voters) believe the country would be better off had Harris won — then reframed this unfavorable finding via counterfactual ("imagine the alternative") rather than addressing it directly, closing with Elon Musk's "game over" endorsement and footage praising his deportation operations.

Most of the rest of the day was bulk posting: about seventeen links to friendly coverage of a State of the Union address he gave three days earlier, and sixteen Texas congressional endorsements filed in seven minutes, nearly all of it written in staff boilerplate. The one real outburst came mid-afternoon, an all-caps post banning the AI company Anthropic from the federal government and threatening prosecution after it refused Pentagon demands on autonomous weapons. He followed it with a more anxious post about the Supreme Court striking down his tariffs, floating the idea that the Court should hear the case again. He was in Corpus Christi for an energy rally where he stood with all three Republicans running for Texas Senate and endorsed none of them, and he stopped posting by late afternoon.
