Every reading on PotusFeel is a single number between 0 and 100. This page explains what that number means, how it is produced, and what the President is usually doing at each rung of the ladder.
How the score is produced
Every time the President publishes a post, PotusFeel reads the text and scores its emotional temperature from 0 (pure rage) to 100 (unfiltered euphoria). A language model trained on his unmistakable style does the reading — separating genuine fury from confident trolling, gloating from celebrating, and dry irritation from sarcasm. The result collapses into one live number, a mood label, and a one-line summary, refreshed the instant a new post lands.
The 0–100 range is divided into nine bands. Each has a name — from NUCLEAR RAGE at the bottom to EUPHORIC at the top — and a colour that washes across the site as the mood shifts. Here is what each band means, and the kind of post that lands there.
0–11
🤬 NUCLEAR RAGE
The floor of the index, and the rarest place to find it. A reading this low is a genuine meltdown — all-caps tirades, personal threats, and grievance posted in rapid bursts, often in the small hours of the morning. The President here is not merely irritated; he has chosen a target and opened fire. These moments tend to coincide with the sharpest market reactions and the loudest news cycles of the week.
Typical triggers: Legal setbacks, unflattering coverage, a sense of betrayal.
12–22
😡 FURIOUS
Open, unmistakable anger, one notch short of a full meltdown. Expect capital letters, exclamation points, and enemies named directly. The tone is combative and personal, but still aimed rather than indiscriminate — something specific has set him off, and he wants the world to know exactly what it is.
Typical triggers: Court rulings, polls he dislikes, rival politicians.
23–33
😤 HEATED
Simmering. The post still carries heat — sarcasm, complaint, a little score-settling — but the rage is contained rather than explosive. This is the sound of someone working themselves up to a boil without quite getting there. Watch this band: it is often the on-ramp to something angrier.
Typical triggers: Media stories, policy fights, long-running feuds.
34–44
😒 ANNOYED
Mild irritation — a grumble rather than a roar. Dismissive, peeved, faintly put-upon. The President is registering displeasure without committing to a war. Easy to overlook, but a useful early signal that the mood is drifting south and the afternoon might get louder.
Typical triggers: Minor criticism, a slow news day, bureaucratic friction.
45–55
😐 MEH
Neutral territory. Routine announcements, reposts, and businesslike statements with little emotional charge in either direction. The index parks here on genuinely quiet days — which, for this President, are rarer than you might expect.
Typical triggers: Scheduling notices, endorsements, official statements.
56–66
🙂 CHILL
A good-vibes baseline. Relaxed, mildly pleased, occasionally playful. Nothing euphoric, but the edge is gone and the tone leans clearly positive. This is the President on a day that is going more or less his way.
Typical triggers: Friendly interviews, rally previews, light banter.
67–77
😀 PLEASED
Visibly happy. Boasting, celebrating, and generous with superlatives — “tremendous,” “incredible,” “like never before.” The mood is upbeat and self-assured, the posts cheerful rather than combative. Good numbers and warm crowds tend to push the needle here.
Typical triggers: Strong economic data, wins, enthusiastic crowds.
78–88
😄 WINNING
Triumphant — a victory-lap tone. Gloating, riding high, certain the day belongs to him. When the index climbs this far the President believes he is beating his opponents on every front, and a flurry of celebratory posts usually follows.
Typical triggers: Election wins, favorable rulings, deals closed.
89–100
🤩 EUPHORIC
The ceiling of the index: pure, beaming triumph — “the best day ever,” in his telling. These peaks are rare and short-lived, usually tied to a single enormous win, and they tend to be followed by a return to earth within a post or two.
Typical triggers: Landmark victories, record milestones, vindication.
