Analysis: Tax Reform Promotional Post (2017-09-28)

A polished, slogan-driven promotional post for tax reform, posted at 9:55 PM ET (Trump was in Indianapolis for a tax reform event). The post is formulaic campaign messaging with hashtags, flag emoji, and a linked image/video.

Authorship

This is almost certainly aide-written (likely Scavino). The post features perfect grammar, professional formatting, hashtags, emoji flag, and a linked media asset — all hallmarks of coordinated campaign messaging. Compare to the stream-of-consciousness style of the earlier posts from the same day ("Facebook was always anti-Trump" post). The timing (9:55 PM ET) is borderline but the polished quality is decisive.

Psychological Content

Minimal psychological signal. This is boilerplate populist messaging. The repeated "OUR" (caps) performs in-group solidarity. "OUR people," "OUR NATION," "OUR GREAT AMERICAN WORKERS" is standard nationalist-populist framing — defining an in-group deserving of care.

Rhetorical Techniques

• Anaphora: Triple "OUR" repetition for rhythmic emphasis
• Appeal to nostalgia/restoration: "rebuild" implies prior degradation
• In-group/out-group framing: "OUR people" implicitly excludes others
• Populist appeal: "AMERICAN WORKERS" as deserving class

Context

This follows Trump's Indianapolis tax reform speech. The post serves as a capstone to the day's messaging campaign, redirecting attention from the NFL controversy and Puerto Rico criticism toward a policy agenda.
