Context

This post was made at 11:12 PM EDT (Trump was in Phoenix, AZ for a rally, so 8:12 PM MST local time). It is a near-duplicate of a post from earlier that day (the previous post list shows the same text posted on 2017-08-22 with proper & encoding vs. this version's &, with commas — likely a repost or platform artifact). The linked content appears to be rally video/photo.

Authorship

This is clearly aide-written (almost certainly Dan Scavino). The language is polished, formulaic, and inspirational boilerplate entirely unlike Trump's authentic voice. No typos (the &, is likely an encoding artifact), no personal attacks, no ALL CAPS, no stream-of-consciousness. It reads like a campaign closing statement. Posted at a reasonable evening hour during/after the Phoenix rally.

Psychological Analysis

The post functions as routine maintenance — standard post-rally inspirational messaging. There is nothing psychologically revealing here; it is a templated communication. The contrast with Trump's actual Phoenix rally remarks (where he angrily relitigated Charlottesville and attacked media) is notable — the aide-crafted social media persona projects unity and optimism while the live performance channeled grievance and rage.

Rhetorical Techniques

Standard patriotic appeal: hope, courage, pride, God Bless America. This is political boilerplate designed to close out rally coverage on an uplifting note.
