The post is its media, below._ ## What the media says **Video transcript** (3:31), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong. Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his: > So tell me if I have my legal bearings correct here. The president has immunity for his actions while president, not afterwards or not before, but while president. Somebody like Joe Biden does not have immunity and he was involved in this. Somebody like Hillary Clinton, of course, does not have immunity. She was never president, never will be. So you could see potentially some very big names brought down in this. Is that correct, Mike? Yes. And presidential immunity applies to your official acts. If you investigate Barack Obama, he can litigate whether it is an official act for him to set loose the Democrat National Committee, the Steele dossier, to work with his Justice Department, with his FBI, with the CIA to orchestrate the biggest scandal in American history, to use your law enforcement and intel agencies to help a presidential candidate of Hillary Clinton and hurt a presidential campaign of Donald Trump. And that's exactly what they did. Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Clapper, Brennan. There were so many bad actors in this. And the law fair against President Trump to take him out afterwards with the prosecutions, poor prosecutions for non-crime. Non-crime is trying to bankrupt Trump for non-fraud several times, trying to take him off the ballot unconstitutionally. And several states tried to take off his head by underfunding a secret service protection. And Biden saying Trump was a fascist and the gravest threat to democracy and to put a bullseye on. These law fair Democrats must be held accountable. So this never happens again. If they're not held accountable, it's going to be very ugly the next time they're back in the White House and they run the Justice Department and the CIA. So, hold on, Mike. I have to dig down on that answer. So you're telling me that Barack Obama's actions, even as president, if they were illegal, it could still be charged. So Barack Obama could potentially be charged here as well? Presidential immunity is an affirmative defense. You can charge him, even charge him as an unindicted co-conspirator. I'd charge him, but I'm a little bit more bold and fearless than most. But then you let Barack Obama litigate whether he has presidential immunity. Barack Obama is the most demonic force in American politics in decades. He is an evil man who is a Marxist Trojan horse who was the worst actor in politicizing and weaponizing our intelligences and law enforcement to go after your political enemies. This guy is a fraud. He is a Marxist, and he is subversive. He's the Trojan horse for the Marxists. And he absolutely was and is trying to destroy America from within. He tried to create so many racial grievances, racial tensions, sicking the intel agencies and the FBI, the Justice Department, after your political enemies. monster and he has to be held accountable. ## Media - video: https://static-assets-1.truthsocial.com/tmtg:prime-ts-assets/media_attachments/files/116/559/315/872/870/922/original/6fa227542e5a08c0.mp4 ## Engagement - Likes: 4,489 - Reposts: 1,248 - Replies: 116 - Views: unknown - Metrics collected: 2026-05-12T12:01:30.212Z (UTC) # Analysis _Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-09-09T19:17:00.600Z (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 post amplifies (without written commentary) a video interview in which attorney Mike Davis calls Obama "the most demonic force in American politics in decades," "an evil man," "a Marxist Trojan horse," and "a monster," while arguing Obama, Biden, Clinton, Comey, Clapper, and Brennan should be criminally charged for allegedly orchestrating the Russia investigation as retaliation against Trump. Because there is no written text, authorship attribution rests only on timing (~10:47 PM Eastern, a late-evening window modestly consistent with Trump's personal posting habits) and is capped at low confidence — this bears on who selected the clip, not who authored the words within it. Psychologically, the selection fits Trump's established persecution-to-vindication narrative: he is cast as the true victim of a law-enforcement conspiracy, with named adversaries recast as the actual criminals (a DARVO structure) and demonized in absolute, splitting terms. This reflects an externalizing, retributive orientation consistent with prior patterns, expressed here through a surrogate rather than his own language. Danger level is elevated rather than high: the clip names specific former officials, articulates a grievance narrative, and calls for them to be "held accountable," with an ambiguous warning that failure to do so "is going to be very ugly next time" — legal/prosecutorial retaliation is the most plausible reading, but the target-grievance-implied-consequence structure warrants continued monitoring rather than dismissal. No verifiable factual claims are logged, since all substantive assertions belong to the interview subject, not Trump. ## Post Overview No original text. The post consists solely of a video clip (Mike Davis, an attorney and pro-Trump legal commentator, in interview) discussing presidential immunity and alleging that Obama, Biden, Clinton, Comey, Clapper, and Brennan orchestrated "the biggest scandal in American history" (the Steele dossier/Russia investigation) against Trump, and arguing Obama can be criminally charged despite immunity. Davis calls Obama "the most demonic force in American politics in decades," "an evil man," "a Marxist Trojan horse," "a monster." The analyzable behavior is Trump's selection and amplification of this content, not authorship of any specific words. ## Level 1–3: Traits, Motives, Narrative (inferred from selection, not language) Amplifying this clip is consistent with previously documented patterns: high angry hostility, low agreeableness/forgiveness, and a dominance/retribution-oriented power motive. The clip reinforces a longstanding personal narrative in which Trump casts himself as the wrongfully persecuted protagonist (contamination sequence: legitimate presidency subverted by a "deep state" conspiracy) awaiting a redemptive reversal via prosecution of his accusers. The contrasting other is explicitly Obama, secondarily Biden/Clinton/Comey/Clapper/Brennan — the "shadow" onto which weaponization of law enforcement is projected, notably while Trump's own DOJ/FBI actions against political opponents are underway. ## Defense Mechanisms - **Projection**: The clip accuses Obama-era officials of weaponizing DOJ/FBI/CIA against a political opponent — a charge frequently leveled at the current administration's own conduct. - **Splitting**: Absolute good (Trump, "held accountable" victim) vs. absolute evil ("demonic," "monster," "fraud," "subversive") with no middle ground. - **DARVO structure** (in the amplified content): reverses victim/offender — Trump recast as the true target of criminal conspiracy rather than the past subject of investigations. ## Rhetorical/Propaganda Techniques Dehumanizing language ("monster," "demonic," "evil"), hyperbole ("biggest scandal in American history"), ad hominem, conspiracist framing, us-vs-them, appeal to grievance/revenge ("it's going to be very ugly the next time"). Selecting and posting this framing functions as tacit endorsement to the audience, even absent Trump's own words. ## Danger Assessment Elevated, not high/critical. The clip names specific individuals, articulates a grievance narrative, and calls for them to be "held accountable" — echoing stochastic-terrorism structural elements (target + grievance + implied consequence) — but the explicit ask is legal/prosecutorial accountability, not violence. The "very ugly" line is ambiguous but most plausibly references future political/legal retaliation given context. Worth flagging for pattern-tracking, not treating as an incitement event on its own. ## Authorship Attribution No stylometric evidence available (media-only post). Confidence capped at low. Posting time converts to approximately 10:47 PM Eastern (assuming Washington, DC base, consistent with recent White House activity that week) on May 11 — a late-evening window modestly consistent with Trump's typical personal engagement hours. This bears only on who selected/posted the clip, not on who wrote or spoke its content. ## Authorship Analysis **Uncertain** (score: 55%) ### Indicators - Posting time (~10:47 PM Eastern) falls within Trump's typical late-evening personal posting window - No written caption or text to assess stylistically - Content matches Trump's long-standing personal grievance narrative (Obama-era 'weaponization' claims), consistent with his known content preferences for amplification - Media-only posts of favorable commentary are a common personal engagement pattern for Trump, though aides also queue video content ## Psychological Profile ### State **Mixed State** **Trigger:** Narcissistic Injury — Defeat (Ongoing 'lawfare' grievance narrative (past prosecutions, ballot-eligibility challenges) compounded by a recent adverse court ruling (CIT finding his global tariffs unlawful, May 7)) **Rage:** Intensity 70% targeting Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan (via amplified speaker) - Proportionality: 30% Sentiment: -0.60 ### Clinical **Malignant Narcissism:** - Narcissistic: 40% - Antisocial: 20% - Paranoid: 60% - Sadism: 20% **Defense Mechanisms:** - projection (immature) - splitting (immature) **Cognitive Complexity:** - Complexity: 0% **Parasocial Techniques:** - Amplifying a third-party 'expert' validator to lend authority to grievance claims - Positioning audience as fellow victims of a shared conspiracy ## Danger Assessment **ELEVATED** ### Indicators - Dehumanizing labels applied to named former officials ('monster,' 'demonic,' 'evil') - Explicit call for named individuals to be criminally charged and 'held accountable' - Ambiguous warning that failure to hold them accountable 'is going to be very ugly' when opponents next control DOJ/CIA ### Gaslighting - DARVO structure: reverses roles so that Trump, previously investigated/prosecuted, is recast as the true victim while his past investigators are recast as the true criminals **Dehumanizing Language Present** ## Tags - media-only-post (100%) - third-party-amplification (100%) - obama-grievance (90%) - lawfare-narrative (90%) - dehumanizing-language (70%) - DARVO (60%) - retribution-fantasy (60%) ## That day _From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._ **On the day he left for Beijing, Trump called reporting on Iran's military strength "virtual TREASON"** The day started in the middle of a late-night posting binge before his trip to China. In under an hour he pushed out a stream of video clips about Obama, the Russia investigation and the 2020 election, many of them reposts of his own earlier material. After a short night he went after the New York Times over its story on the Reflecting Pool, posting the same attack twice. Just before leaving he put up a batch of memes: Iranian boats being destroyed, himself on a $100 bill, Democrats sitting in sewage. Late in the afternoon came the sharpest post of the day, calling news reports that Iran was holding up militarily "virtual treason" by "American cowards." In the evening he posted a "51st State" Venezuela graphic and an Uncle Sam "I WANT YOU!", then went back to the pool one more time.
