This post, published the same day FBI Director Comey publicly confirmed the Trump-Russia investigation, represents a significant reality-distortion effort. Trump selectively cites former DNI Clapper's earlier qualified statement about not having seen evidence of collusion while omitting that Clapper was unaware of the FBI investigation's specifics and that his tenure had ended. The declaration of "FAKE NEWS" about an active, publicly confirmed FBI investigation constitutes pathological denial. The closing "everyone knows it" is a consensus-manufacturing technique that functions as both a loyalty test for followers and an attempt to delegitimize the investigation through manufactured social proof. This post is clinically notable for the deployment of multiple pathological defenses simultaneously in response to what may be the most significant narcissistic threat of his presidency — the suggestion that his electoral victory was aided by foreign interference, undermining the legitimacy that serves as his primary narcissistic supply.

"James Clapper stated there is no evidence POTUS colluded with Russia"
Half True

Clapper said on Meet the Press (March 5, 2017) he had seen no evidence of collusion during his tenure as DNI (which ended Jan 20, 2017). However, he also noted he was not aware of the FBI counterintelligence investigation's specifics. Trump's framing omits this critical caveat and the fact that an active investigation was underway.
