## Post text

> Thank you to Great Republican Senator, Eric Schmitt!

## What the media says

**Video transcript** (3:15), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong. Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his:

> with more reaction is Missouri Senator Eric Schmidt. By the way, maybe the best baseball congressional baseball game catch in the history of the game. Congratulations. Great job. Let's get your take on all of this through the prism of they will never in a five, eight month period of time, year or two have any odds of ever getting a nuclear weapon. The president's number one priority. Uh, the president telling me directly telling the American people directly he will rain hell down on them if they try. So at that point in time, what is the downside in giving this an opportunity? There isn't. And I think this again, dealing from a position of strength and clarity, the president United States president Trump was very clear from the get go what the mission here was, which is to ensure that Iran would never have a nuclear weapon. They have no ability to do that. And they're signing on the dotted line now, Sean, for the first time that they're not going to do that. And we don't need to trust them. We just need to verify that. Right. So effectively president knocked out their military capability. Their Navy's at the bottom of the sea. They have no air defense. Um, their nuclear program is in shambles. It's nowhere near ever being started up again. And we can always go back and mow the lawn if necessary because we've got eyes on it. So the president's provided now through all of that action, space for diplomacy that has always been his north star. You know that in any situation and he's got it right now. So there's always more things to do. We need to make sure obviously we're verifying all of this, but the president's pulled off something here that most experts six months ago wouldn't have thought were possible. And I think it's good for the American people. You know, it's, it's really insane after all Donald Trump has done beating the caliphate, Soleimani, Baghdadi, uh, midnight hammer, epic fury. I don't know why people would doubt for a second that he means what he says that he has no problem going back in and, and finishing it. What I was told internally is the Iranians, even, even the people that have been negotiating with our side after he hit them hard twice last week and then threatened to hit them harder the next night and threatened maybe to take Karg Island. They were begging to just sign any dotted line and get this moving forward. That apparently was a sore point for them. Well, they're, they're, they're at their weakest point in 50 years. I mean, that's the truth. And anything that's going to happen here now is performance based. You want to talk about this compared to Obama's disastrous deal where everything was front loaded and kind of created a path to a nuclear weapon. This is just the opposite. You've got the master deal maker here who used the leverage that he has who still has that leverage, uh, as president moving forward to make sure that they're not going to secure a nuclear weapon. That has been the goal all along. And so while the Democrats, I hear him talking about it on Capitol Hill today, we're really rooting for America to lose. That's the truth. Um, we're rooting for America to win here. The president's been very successful in, in fulfilling his promise that they're not going to get a nuclear weapon. It will be incredibly destabilizing, not just for the region, but for the world if that happened. And now the president has a memorandum of understanding that's going and continue to be negotiated to make sure it doesn't happen.

# Analysis

_Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-06-18T22:33:54.341Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._

## Analysis

This is a brief, single-sentence acknowledgment post thanking Republican Senator Eric Schmitt (Missouri), accompanied by a video attachment. The post carries minimal psychological signal in isolation but is consistent with routine alliance-maintenance behavior.

**Level 1 (Traits):** Modest extraversion signal (positive affect, public affirmation). No neuroticism markers.

**Level 2 (Motives):** Communion-coded surface (gratitude, affiliation) overlaying agentic loyalty-economy maintenance — public thanks function as social currency reinforcing reciprocal allegiance within the in-group.

**Level 3 (Narrative):** Identity claim as patron/king dispensing recognition to loyal subordinates. The capitalized honorific ('Great Republican Senator') is characteristic Trump titulature, elevating allies via grandiose modifiers.

**Authorship:** Ambiguous. Timing (~9:51 PM ET on day of return from France) is plausible for authentic posting, and the capitalization habit is Trump-typical. However, the brevity, lack of errors, and attached video suggest possible staff assistance. Low confidence either way.

**Rhetorical devices:** Superlative honorific ('Great'), public-recognition reinforcement.

**Defenses:** None notable.

**Danger indicators:** None.

**Clinical significance:** Low. This is routine maintenance posting — supply-adjacent (gives supply to reinforce reciprocal flow back) rather than supply-seeking, and shows no acute psychological state shift.

## Fact Verification

| Claim | Verdict | Evidence |
|-------|---------|----------|
| "Eric Schmitt is a Republican U.S. Senator" | **True** | Eric Schmitt has served as Republican U.S. Senator from Missouri since January 2023. |

## That day

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

**Between Versailles victory laps, he warns he 'will, sadly, be the last Republican President' unless the filibuster goes**

He spent the day celebrating the Iran agreement signed at Versailles, sharing a TV segment that called him "the boss" and ending one post with "YOU'RE WELCOME!" The celebration kept stopping so he could hit back at critics. People who said he went easy on Iran were "jealous, bad people, or stupid," and a reported $300 billion payment to Iran was "Fake News." Batches of look-alike endorsements, from Utah congressmen to a Colombian presidential candidate, filled the overnight hours, and he never went long enough without posting to have had a normal night's sleep. The sharpest moment came in the afternoon. A complaint about mail ballots in Utah became, within minutes, a post calling anyone who won't scrap the filibuster "a FOOL" and warning he would "sadly" be the last Republican president.
