## What the media says

**Video transcript** (14:21), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong. Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his:

> Our beautiful beautiful planet as photographed by the Artemis astronauts. Isn't that amazing? It is amazing, right? The great big globe. And maybe you remember an old-timey quote. They say Mark Twain said it. It's about the truth and lies. And I think it's very appropriate right now. A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. It is so true, so apt. And there was another guy who said something very similar like 300 years earlier. This is just the way human beings are. And I got a lot of evidence about something that should have been evidence day one. But here we are. What is it? It is seven years later the 2019 impeachment of Donald Trump. That was an absolute crime. The people who prosecuted him, the people who put in the phony whistleblower's complaint, the impeachment managers, anybody who touched this case from the opposing side should be arrested, tried, and jailed. Absolutely. It's so interesting though. Now it seems like ancient history and we find out new things about what really happened and suddenly it doesn't seem newsworthy anymore. Why is that? Because the New York Times doesn't want to undermine what their Pulitzer Prize shelf or something like that. The country was, can't really remember now, distracted by this nonsense and so was our president and so was our entire government. The trial lasted. Get this, how long was it again? 21 days. They screwed around about this phony issue. Totally phony. It was a coup everybody. This was a coup and yeah it's like ancient history right now. 2019, 2020, who cares right? We got other things now. This is what they're banking on. That no one's gonna go through the paperwork and when the government like Tulsi Gabbard does you can't engage the mainstream media. Well it is our responsibility. I consider myself conservative. I consider this to be somewhat conservative media. Fair to say right? Look you got to ask the other host what their philosophy is but you know where I'm coming from. I am totally MAGA. This report is amazing and so much about this case. It proves the outright corruption of basically all of the players when they try to take down Trump with that phony impeachment number one. Yeah it's interesting. Newspapers do this all the time right? The allegation is huge. The correction if they deigned to do it right down there. Read the fine print. Well it was a coup. It was and thanks to Tulsi Gabbard we're finding out some very interesting details and folks I'm going through the documents myself and it does expose a conspiracy used by Congress to impeach President Trump and they had a lot of cooperation from the deep state. I've been going through these documents. They are tedious. They are not fun to read and it's not like oh you know and this is why. This is why if the New York Times and the rest if they don't pay it attention it just kind of seems to fade away but it must not. Number one they violated their own procedures. Now that may like Alackinson right? The former inspector general for the intelligence community. Well I believe he was in on it. Absolutely. This guy came in with a phony baloney story about the phone call that he heard somebody talk about. We have his whistleblower complaint. The guy who went to basically this is like the human resources guy right? This is the guy you go to to get other people in trouble. Sometimes human resources does that. This is on page one. I know it's a little bit hard to read here but this is the first thing. This is the whistleblower and he says I do not have direct knowledge of private comments or communications by the president. However I have direct knowledge of interagency discussions about Ukraine in which blah blah blah blah blah. I have no direct knowledge of private communications. They should have thrown them out of the office right then and there. That's what the handbook says to do. Get out of here. You can't blow the whistle. Find somebody else to blow the whistle. You don't have a whistle but they let this guy do the whole thing and then they immediately set it up to Congress. Next we've got something else here. Potential for bias, biases or to be discredited. It's very interesting that one of the key players in this and I'm sorry to do this. Witness number two was the co-author of the 2017 intelligence community assessment on Russia interference in the 2016 election. The main witness there was in on the Russia hoax. Yeah it's okay. I'm sure your objective now. It literally says that. It literally says oh no but he's apolitical. Now he's apolitical. Now we can trust him. There might be one more goodie in here. Now this has been circulating for a while but finally the complainant is a registered Democrat and not only that, excuse me, the guy, the complainant, the whistleblower, worked closely with Vice President Biden as an expert on Ukraine, traveled with Biden to Ukraine and was part of controversies where Lusenko corruption was discussed. This guy was totally corrupt. You can't trust him. Get the hell out of my office. You don't know anything and coo on our hands and the media went with it. Oh wow this is something really really important. Now I think we have to revisit the details because this is confusing. It's like okay what the hell happened back then? Well it actually I'm gonna try to simplify it. Joe Biden thought that he could do something corrupt but if he talked about it in public it would be okay right? Well that's no problem. I talked about it in front of a bunch of people. I had that prosecutor fired. I always go to countries in demand that local prosecutors be fired. I said I'm telling you you're not getting a billion dollars. I said you're not getting a billion. I'm gonna be leaving here and I think it was what six hours. I look I said I'm leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor's not fired you're not getting the money. Oh son of a bitch. Got fired. Just going around bragging about getting Ukrainian prosecutors fired. Now what really happened? Oh by the way your son Hunter works for one of the companies over there in one of the most corrupt countries on the world in the world and he's paid $83,000 a month and that prosecutor who you insisted on getting fired or you'd withhold a billion dollars was investigating Burisma and they'll say well no no no no. The interagency determined we have the entire European Union calling for the ouster of this prosecutor. Who's the best guy in the world to make that happen right? The vice president of the United States. And you saw how he or Schenko knows he's on the phone with a corrupt man Joe Biden. Poor Schenko is recording the conversation and listen to how explicit poor Schenko. This is the prosecutor. This is the president of Ukraine who actually fires the prosecutor because Joe Biden demands it but he actually just begs. Yesterday I met with the general prosecutor Soto. Yes. And despite of the fact that we didn't have any corruption charges, we don't have any information about doing something wrong. Ask him to desire it. This is my second step for keeping my promises. I agree. You see how the president of Ukraine said explicitly even though he's done nothing wrong I'm doing this as a favor to you Joe. What's going on there? The money. How much money was that again? $83,000. How rich is Joe? Right? All that stuff. The houses all over the place. The fancy cars. The watches. The clothes. That man spent everything he wore. He didn't have a suit less than $10,000. That guy. What else? Oh yeah. So President Trump hears about this and at one point he's on the phone with Zelensky. How did he hear about it by the way? He saw that clip that we both saw. Right? Where Joe is bragging about this. He's bragging about getting that guy fired. So let me see if I can do this here. Here's the actual. I'm sorry. One moment please. This is a little bit tricky but it's important. Here we go. This is the transcript if you don't mind of the phone call and it's been out there but now that we know that the whole damn thing was a sham and we've known that for a long time but we're seeing the the details. The details everybody. I think this is important. All right. So he asked Zelensky. The other thing there's a lot of talk about the Biden's son. That Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that. So whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution. So if you can look into it that sounds horrible to me. Zelensky. Zelensky. I'm sorry you guys can't read this. I apologize. I should have made it much bigger. Okay. Zelensky. President Zelensky. I wanted to tell you about that prosecutor. First of all I understand the situation. I am totally knowledgeable. The next prosecutor general will be my guy and he's gonna look into the situation and he's got all kinds of things to say about. Zelensky got it and so did President Trump and they were in on it. They were they were in on uncovering just how bad the deep state and Maria Vonovich and the rest were. You're allowed to do these things. It's a free country and well Joe Biden's status as a presidential candidate doesn't mean anything. He's a civilian. Watch this. The president of the United States tried to leverage US taxpayer money to get another foreign government to investigate his opponent in the 2020 election. They should be deeply worrying to the American people because the president of the United States is basically using the foreign policy of the country to ensure help his reelection which is really criminal behavior. I really can't all behavior and near attended I think her name is Obama's right-hand person at OMB and Biden. These are high-level people. They used the swamp. They manipulated. Always find a reason to not. They were screwing with him and the bureaucracy was cooperating. Joe Biden running for president in 2019 doesn't give him special status. It doesn't make him immune from prosecution. All right. They impeach President Trump in 2019. How about hey ask President Trump about that right. President Trump they put him through hell. They arrested him. They did this that and the other thing. All right let's go to the chief witnesses against President Trump during the impeachment hearing. Yvonnevich, Hill, Vindman. I got the goods on these people and we've showed it before but it's just all coming apart and I think it's important. First they all got book deals right. All got this book deal that book deal. Vindman is actually running for he's running for Senate in Florida and Fiona in her book said it out loud. She was a national security assistant right working for President Trump. She was just trying to blow him up like everybody else in the deep state. Watch this. The Fiona Hill book sound bite if you don't mind. Just being a woman became an obstacle to getting their job done. None of this was surprising given President Trump's documented history with women. I had taken part in the Women's March in January 2017 protesting the way that he talked about women during the presidential campaign. This is one of the rats right. She hates Trump. 2017 he just became president. She went to the Women's March and testified in the impeachment hearing against the Marie Yvonnevich person that not only Trump didn't like, Zelensky didn't like. Well she didn't like them. Take a look at this quote from her own book. On a personal level I found Trump's bullying behavior, his xenophobia, misogyny and racism not just offensive and immoral but dangerous. All right you can't be the ambassador representing the president anymore. I felt I was watching a slow-motion car crash. Trump was going to be the next president of the United States. She was freaked out about it and of course Vindman, Vindman. That whole thing is inappropriate. On July 25th 2019 the call occurred. I listened in on the call in the Situation Room with White House colleagues. I was concerned by the call. What I heard was inappropriate and I reported my concerns to Mr. Eisenberg. It is improper for the President of the United States to demand a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen and a political opponent. It was a polite, hey you should look into this because I saw it on TV, and Hunter Biden. The entire government tried to defend this guy in that arrangement. It was a coup. It was a coup and we're finding out the details and yeah the truth. People have even forgotten. They've forgotten the lies. History hopefully will have this straightened out but it's amazing what we are learning about that horrible time and when you waste a president's time like that you know they say 9/11 might not have happened had well we had not had some of the scandals in the 1990s right people would have been more on the ball especially Bill Clinton. He got himself in that mess didn't he.

# Analysis

_Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-09-09T14:30:36.829Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._

## Summary

This media-only post (an apparent interview clip, likely Trump's own voice) relitigates the 2019 impeachment as a "coup," calling for the arrest, trial, and jailing of a broad, undefined class of past adversaries — the whistleblower, the former intelligence community inspector general, impeachment managers, and unnamed "anybody who touched this case." The segment opens with a truth-versus-lies aphorism used to frame mainstream media as complicit suppressors of newly surfaced documents, then pivots into a DARVO-structured account in which the constitutionally conducted (and acquittal-ending) impeachment proceeding is recast as an unresolved crime against him. Psychologically, the clip shows paranoid features (a coordinated "deep state" conspiracy), antisocial features (demand for incarceration of a broad opponent class without due process), and a mixed narcissistic state oscillating between grandiosity ("this report is amazing") and victimhood ("it was a coup"). This fits a documented weeklong pattern of escalating retributive and grievance-driven posting (WSJ lawsuit, Pope Leo feud, Iran ultimatum rhetoric). No written text exists for authorship stylometry, so posting-authorship confidence is capped at low and rests on timing (business-hours UTC-to-Eastern conversion) rather than linguistic evidence; the content itself, if accurately transcribed, is plausibly Trump's own spoken words in an interview setting rather than a third party's. Danger level is rated elevated rather than high: the harm vector is institutional/legal rather than physical, but the explicit demand to jail a loosely defined opponent class, layered onto a week of retributive escalation, warrants continued longitudinal tracking.

## Overview

This post carries no original text from the subject — it is a video repost only, an apparent clip from an interview/talk-show appearance in which he discusses the 2019 impeachment. Per protocol, the analyzable act is **selection and amplification**: Trump (or staff acting on his behalf) chose to put a segment relitigating his 2019 impeachment as a "coup" in front of his audience, opening with a Mark Twain-attributed quote about lies outrunning truth and closing with a demand that everyone "who touched this case from the opposing side" be "arrested, tried, and jailed."

Note on the transcript itself: unlike the typical case where the speaker is a third party praising the subject, self-referential lines ("I consider myself conservative," "I am totally MAGA") indicate the speaker is very plausibly Trump himself, being interviewed. That said, this is spoken, possibly-produced media, not his own written text — no stylometric (typo/capitalization/punctuation) evidence exists, and transcript accuracy for a real-time interview is uncertain. Analysis below treats content cautiously and keeps cognitive/stylistic claims low-confidence.

## Levels 1–3 (Traits, Motives, Narrative)

- **Neuroticism (angry hostility):** high salience — demand for imprisonment of named categories of adversaries (whistleblower, IG, impeachment managers).
- **Agreeableness (trust):** markedly low — pervasive suspicion of institutions (NYT, "the deep state," Congress).
- **Agency motive:** dominance/retribution — vindication and punishment of perceived enemies, not policy goals.
- **Narrative identity:** classic contamination-then-redemption structure — a "coup" (contamination of his presidency) now being redeemed by newly surfaced documents that "expose the conspiracy." Protagonist role: wrongly persecuted hero now vindicated. Contrasting other: "the deep state," "phony whistleblower," NYT, impeachment managers.

## Level 4: Clinical Indicators

- **Paranoid features:** prominent — belief in a coordinated multi-actor conspiracy ("cooperation from the deep state," IG "in on it"), preoccupation with a seven-year-old grievance revived as urgent.
- **Antisocial features:** notable — explicit call for arrest, trial, and jailing of a broad, loosely defined class of political opponents without adjudicated basis, i.e., punitive impulse superseding due process.
- **Narcissistic features:** victimhood combined with grandiosity ("this report is amazing," casting the episode as proof of "outright corruption of basically all of the players").
- **DARVO / gaslighting:** the underlying conduct that triggered the 2019 inquiry is not addressed; energy is directed entirely at reversing victim/offender roles ("It was a coup") and attacking the credibility of the original whistleblower process.
- **Rage:** present, directed outward at institutional actors; moderate intensity, wrapped in a media-appearance register rather than raw invective, but content (prosecution/jailing demand) is disproportionate to a seven-year-old, already-adjudicated (acquittal) matter.
- **Epistemic closure:** the clip frames only "conservative"/MAGA-aligned media as trustworthy on this topic and casts mainstream coverage (or non-coverage) as deliberate suppression — a loyalty-defining truth claim for the in-group.

## Danger Assessment

No violent imagery or eliminationist language toward persons; the harm vector is institutional/legal (demands for prosecution and incarceration of named categories of political opponents), not physical violence. Rated **elevated** given the repeated pattern this week (WSJ suit, Pope Leo feud, Iran ultimatum rhetoric) of retributive escalation against perceived adversaries, but this post alone does not meet criteria for "high."

## Authorship Attribution

No written text exists to apply stylometric markers (typos, punctuation, capitalization, syntax) — that entire evidentiary channel is unavailable. The only available signal is timing and posting pattern. 12:08 UTC on April 15 converts to roughly 8:08 AM Eastern (assuming Washington/New York base, consistent with same-day activity referencing an upcoming Fox Business interview and no indication of travel) — squarely within business hours, more consistent with staff-scheduled amplification of produced interview content than an impulsive late-night post. Confidence is capped at low: this assessment concerns who selected and posted the clip, not who authored the words spoken in it.

## Fact Verification

| Claim | Verdict | Evidence |
|-------|---------|----------|
| "The 2019/2020 Senate impeachment trial of Donald Trump lasted 21 days" | **Mostly True** | The Senate impeachment trial ran from January 16, 2020 (opening) to February 5, 2020 (acquittal vote), a span of approximately 21 days, consistent with the claim. |

Overall Veracity: 80%

## Authorship Analysis

**Aide-Written** (score: 30%)

### Indicators

- No written text exists for stylometric analysis — typos, punctuation, capitalization are all unavailable evidentiary channels
- 12:08 UTC ≈ 8:08 AM Eastern (assuming NY/DC base) falls within business hours, more consistent with staff-scheduled posting of produced interview content than impulsive late-night authorship
- Same-day post referencing a scheduled Fox Business interview suggests active staff management of the account that day
- Content is a polished interview/broadcast segment rather than raw impulsive material, typical of aide-curated amplification

## Psychological Profile

### State

**Mixed State**

**Trigger:** Supply Seeking — Comparison (Newly declassified/Tulsi Gabbard-released documents relating to the 2019 impeachment whistleblower complaint)

**Rage:** Intensity 50% targeting 2019 impeachment whistleblower, former IG Michael Atkinson, House impeachment managers, New York Times
- Proportionality: 25%

Sentiment: -0.50

### Clinical

**Malignant Narcissism:**
- Narcissistic: 55%
- Antisocial: 50%
- Paranoid: 65%
- Sadism: 15%

**Defense Mechanisms:**
- projection (immature)
- denial (pathological)
- rationalization (neurotic)

**Cognitive Complexity:**
- Complexity: 30%

Cognitive Markers:
- tangentiality

**Parasocial Techniques:**
- Positions the audience as fellow truth-seekers ("I am totally MAGA") against a suppressive media establishment
- Invites audience to do their own "paperwork"/document review, fostering in-group epistemic solidarity

## Danger Assessment

**ELEVATED**

### Indicators

- Explicit call for arrest, trial, and jailing of a broad, undefined class of political opponents ("anybody who touched this case from the opposing side") without adjudicated basis
- Fits a documented week-long pattern of escalating retributive rhetoric (WSJ lawsuit, Pope Leo feud, Iran blockade ultimatums)

### Gaslighting

- Reframes an impeachment proceeding that ended in acquittal as an unresolved criminal conspiracy against him ("It was a coup")
- DARVO structure: original underlying conduct is not addressed; focus shifts entirely to attacking the accusers and casting the subject/country as victims
- Casts absence of mainstream coverage as evidence of suppression rather than as a plausible editorial judgment about seven-year-old, previously litigated news

## Fact Checks (1)

_The model's verdicts from 2026-09-09._

> The 2019/2020 Senate impeachment trial of Donald Trump lasted 21 days

**MOSTLY TRUE**

The Senate impeachment trial ran from January 16, 2020 (opening) to February 5, 2020 (acquittal vote), a span of approximately 21 days, consistent with the claim.

## That day

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

**He described his naval blockade as "permanently opening" the Strait of Hormuz, then posted a warning that ships would be boarded**

The day began just before midnight in Washington with a late burst of posts: a sarcastic note asking someone to "tell Pope Leo" about Iran, a complaint that NATO "wasn't there for us," a stack of news links about old grievances, and a few memes defending himself against religious backlash. After a gap of several hours he was back in the morning with a boastful post saying China was grateful he was "permanently opening" the Strait of Hormuz and that Xi would give him "a big, fat, hug." That afternoon he asked Republicans to renew a surveillance law he has long said was used against him, went after Fox News for covering Tom Steyer, and ended by posting a video warning ships that they would be boarded for breaking the Iran blockade. The standout was the gap between calling the blockade an opening and then broadcasting its terms hours later.
