Monica De La Cruz has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election as U.S. Representative from Texas’ 15th Congressional District — SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Video transcript 1:32

Hello, Texas. This is November. I'm asking you to vote to reelect Monica Dila Cruz as your representative for Texas's 15th congressional district. Monica Dila Cruz is a champion for law and order and is fighting to keep our borders safe and secure. She voted for the largest investment in border security history, and she was a critical vote for the largest tax cuts in the history of America. That includes no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on social security for our great seniors. She also voted for the Save America Act to defend our sacred American elections. She loves our farmers and ranchers and is endorsed by the National Border Patrol Council and law enforcement all over the country. Monica's opponent is a radical left loser who disparages our police, insults the heroes of Border Patrol, and calls himself a part-time Texan. He is a creepy guy who wears women's clothes and who is a lifelong friend of a child sex offender. If he gets in, he will be a disgrace to your district by voting against a safe and successful Texas every time because he will be voting with the Democrat Communists, and that's what they are. On November 3rd, go vote to reelect Monica Dila Cruz via district. She will fight for you like no one else. Thank you very much.

This is a staff-produced endorsement, the sixth identical-template post of the afternoon. The text itself is formulaic. The attached first-person video spot, apparently read by Trump from prepared copy, goes much further than the standard endorsement. It calls the unnamed Democratic opponent "a creepy guy who wears women's clothes" and "a lifelong friend of a child sex offender," and labels his party "Democrat Communists, and that's what they are." The split is total: the endorsed candidate "will fight for you like no one else," while the opponent is a "disgrace." Tying a rival to child sexual abuse with no name or source attached is the most extreme move in the post. Given how prominent Trump's own Epstein ties were in the news, it fits projection, though the evidence for that inference is thin. The spot also repeats tax claims that don't hold up. "No tax on social security" misdescribes a temporary senior deduction, and "largest tax cuts in history" fails when measured against GDP. There is no sign of a triggering injury. The post is midterm patronage in which the endorsement is framed as a loyalty transaction. The only action it urges is voting.

Fact Checks (2)

"No tax on social security for our great seniors (voiced in first-person endorsement video)"

False

The 2025 reconciliation law (One Big Beautiful Bill Act) added a temporary deduction of up to $6,000 for filers aged 65 and over for tax years 2025 through 2028. It did not change the taxation of Social Security benefits under IRC section 86, and many seniors still pay tax on those benefits.

"She was a critical vote for the largest tax cuts in the history of America"

Mostly False

The 2025 law's nominal ten-year cost is large, but measured as a share of GDP it is smaller than several earlier tax cuts, including the 1981 Economic Recovery Tax Act. Much of the law extends 2017 provisions rather than cutting taxes anew.

Sixth copy of the same endorsement that day

The text fills in a template: name, "has my Complete and Total Endorsement," office, "SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!", signed "President DONALD J. TRUMP." The five earlier posts the same day (Buckhout, Whatley, Ricketts, Husted, Garrity) use the same frame, changing only the name, the pronoun and the office. It went up at 18:28 UTC, 2:28 p.m. Eastern on a Friday. He was most likely back in Washington after the Ireland trip earlier in the week. Several things point to staff production: posting in business hours, the batched series, a signature that refers to him in the third person, and the exact office line "Texas' 15th Congressional District." The capitalized closer is house style for this series. It shows no rise in feeling.

The video carries the attack the text leaves out

The attached clip is a first-person endorsement spot ("I'm asking you to vote to reelect"), apparently read in Trump's own voice from prepared copy. The opening "This is November" is almost certainly a speech-recognition error, and nothing here depends on it. The spot has two halves. The first lists her record in his usual policy lines: "largest investment in border security history," "largest tax cuts in the history of America," "no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on social security." The second is a different kind of attack on the unnamed Democratic opponent: "a radical left loser," "a creepy guy who wears women's clothes," "a lifelong friend of a child sex offender," who will vote "with the Democrat Communists, and that's what they are."

The second half is where the psychological material is. Wearing women's clothes is treated as disqualifying on its face ("creepy"), and the opponent is tied to a sex offender with no name, date or source. The split between the two candidates is total. De La Cruz "loves our farmers and ranchers" and "will fight for you like no one else." The opponent "disparages our police," "insults the heroes of Border Patrol," and would be "a disgrace to your district." The tag "Democrat Communists," pressed home with "and that's what they are," turns a party label into an enemy ideology, as he has done repeatedly in 2025–26. The copy was probably written by the campaign. What belongs to him is voicing it: agreeing to add a sexual-deviance and child-abuse smear to a routine House endorsement.

What drives it: midterm patronage

Nothing in the day's feed or the week's events points to an injury he is answering. This is maintenance work six weeks before the midterms. The endorsement is framed as something he owns and hands out ("my Complete and Total Endorsement"), and its promise is about loyalty. The candidate's value is that she "will never let you down." He casts himself as kingmaker. Her record is read out as votes for his agenda (the tax law, the "Save America Act," border money), so her identity folds into his. The opponent is the contrasting other. The "friend of a child sex offender" charge is the likeliest case of projection here. His own ties to Jeffrey Epstein were a steady news story through 2025–26, and aiming that accusation outward fits the pattern, though the evidence supports the inference only loosely.

Claims in the spot

Two tax claims are spoken in the first person. "No tax on social security" misdescribes the 2025 reconciliation law. The law added a temporary deduction of up to $6,000 for filers 65 and over, and Social Security benefits are still taxed as before. "Largest tax cuts in the history of America" fails when tax cuts are measured by share of GDP, and several earlier laws were larger by that measure. The claims about the opponent (women's clothes, "part-time Texan," the sex-offender friendship) come with no sourcing and were not checked here. The sexual-predator association is aimed at an identifiable candidate. In past cycles, smears of this kind have been followed by harassment of their targets. Here, though, the only action the spot asks for is to "go vote" on "November 3rd," and it sets no one against the man personally.

The transcript shows no cognitive markers. "Dila Cruz" is a transcription spelling, and the scripted delivery tells us nothing about how he forms speech on his own.
