Fact Checks (3)

"Rexnord of Indiana is moving to Mexico"

Mostly True

Rexnord did announce plans to move its Indianapolis bearings plant to Mexico in late 2016, affecting approximately 300 jobs. The timeline and basic facts are accurate.

"firing all of its 300 workers"

Mostly True

The plant employed roughly 300 workers who would lose their jobs, though 'firing' is a characterization — technically these were layoffs due to relocation, not terminations for cause.

"This is happening all over our country"

Half True

Manufacturing offshoring was a real trend but had slowed by 2016. The framing of it happening 'all over' is hyperbolic but rooted in genuine economic displacement patterns.

Psychological Analysis: Rexnord "No More!" Post (2016-12-03)

Context

Posted at 10:06 PM EST from likely Trump Tower, NYC during the presidential transition. This follows the Carrier deal announcement and fits Trump's pattern of targeting specific companies moving manufacturing abroad.

Authorship

The late-night timing, punchy declarative style, emotional language ("rather viciously"), and the imperative closing ("No more!") are strongly characteristic of authentic Trump posting. The phrase "rather viciously" is notably Trumpian — an unusual adverb choice that adds dramatic flair.

Psychological State

This post operates from a position of newfound power. Trump is performing the role of economic protector, signaling that the presidency-elect changes the rules. The Rexnord callout follows the same template as Carrier — naming and shaming specific companies as a dominance display.

Rhetorical Analysis

The post uses a simple three-part structure: (1) identify villain and transgression, (2) generalize the threat, (3) issue authoritative prohibition. "Rather viciously" anthropomorphizes a corporate decision as cruelty, framing workers as victims and Trump as their champion. "No more!" functions as both promise and threat — a two-word declaration of power.

Clinical Notes

Grandiose positioning is moderate — Trump implicitly claims the authority to halt macroeconomic trends through personal intervention. The post is notable for its controlled aggression; the rage is channeled and purposeful rather than reactive, suggesting this is supply-seeking (populist validation) rather than injury-driven.
