palmerreport--2020-10-11--Donald Trump’s idiot doctor just gave something away

By now two things are abundantly clear .
First , Donald Trump is still sick with coronavirus , as evidenced by his inability to speak for more than eighteen minutes today , and the fresh bandages on his hand suggesting a recent IV drug injection .
Second , Trump ’ s doctor is an idiot who ’ s trying ( and somewhat failing ) to help Trump cover up the fact that he ’ s still sick and contagious .
Soon to be former Doctor Sean Conley released a letter tonight announcing that Donald Trump has been fever free for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ respected White House correspondent Brian Karem just pointed out , three days ago Conley announced that Trump hadn ’ t had a fever in four days : In other words , it sure sounds like Trump ’ s doctor just gave away that at some point over the past three days , Trump ran a fever again .
This would suggest that Trump has hit that dreaded second wave of coronavirus .
If so , he ’ s nowhere near ready to be out of the house , both in terms of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fresh bandages would seem to confirm that he ’ s still taking IV drugs , which in turn further points to Trump still being ill.
It ’ s worth noting that this doctor has spent the past ten days making a consistent habit of only admitting to negative information about Trump ’ s health on a delay of a day or more , so as to create the illusion that Trump is always improving .
In any case , this new letter reads like a joke , and can ’ t possibly be @ @ @ @ @

By now two things are abundantly clear. First, Donald Trump is still sick with coronavirus, as evidenced by his inability to speak for more than eighteen minutes today, and the fresh bandages on his hand suggesting a recent IV drug injection. Second, Trump’s doctor is an idiot who’s trying (and somewhat failing) to help Trump cover up the fact that he’s still sick and contagious.
Soon to be former Doctor Sean Conley released a letter tonight announcing that Donald Trump has been fever free for more than 24 hours. But as respected White House correspondent Brian Karem just pointed out, three days ago Conley announced that Trump hadn’t had a fever in four days:
On October 7 the WH said @realDonaldTrump felt great and had been fever free for four days. No further mention was made of a fever until tonight when we are told he has been fever free for more than 24 hours. Something doesn't add up. "All symptoms improved" – which ones? pic.twitter.com/HlwHnNsvet — Brian J. Karem (@BrianKarem) October 11, 2020
In other words, it sure sounds like Trump’s doctor just gave away that at some point over the past three days, Trump ran a fever again. This would suggest that Trump has hit that dreaded second wave of coronavirus. If so, he’s nowhere near ready to be out of the house, both in terms of his own health and his contagiousness. His fresh bandages would seem to confirm that he’s still taking IV drugs, which in turn further points to Trump still being ill.
It’s worth noting that this doctor has spent the past ten days making a consistent habit of only admitting to negative information about Trump’s health on a delay of a day or more, so as to create the illusion that Trump is always improving. In any case, this new letter reads like a joke, and can’t possibly be taken at face value.

palmerreport--2020-10-11--Rudy Giuliani goes on TV and has completely senile meltdown, appears to be physically ill

We ’ ve spent the past week and a half waiting to find out if Rudy Giuliani has coronavirus , and in the process we almost forgot that he ’ s suffering from what looks to be mid stage dementia .
Rudy appeared on the Judge Jeanine show on Fox News tonight , and it went so poorly for him that even Jeanine didn ’ t seem to be buying it .
Rudy Giuliani , sounding completely confused and looking like he ’ d recently been dropped into a vat of acid , tried to make the argument that Joe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Rudy suggested that Biden has been using an earpiece during public appearances , insisting that “ hermetic circumstances ” were involved .
At that point even Jeanine had enough and cut him off , saying she ’ d like to see some evidence of it .
In any case , Rudy looked extremely ill during the interview : Rudy Giuliani is one of the very few members of Donald Trump ’ s debate prep team who somehow hasn ’ t tested positive for coronavirus .
He claims he ’ s still testing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ within the fourteen day window , which means he ’ s still not out of the woods .
Rudy ’ s deathly glaze tonight comes after he appeared on Fox News earlier in the week and couldn ’ t stop coughing .

Rudy Giuliani is one of the very few members of Donald Trump’s debate prep team who somehow hasn’t tested positive for coronavirus. He claims he’s still testing negative, but he’s still within the fourteen day window, which means he’s still not out of the woods. Rudy’s deathly glaze tonight comes after he appeared on Fox News earlier in the week and couldn’t stop coughing.

palmerreport--2020-10-12--Donald Trump goes berserk when he finds out how badly he’s losing

Donald Trump seems to be lacking in stamina ever since he caught coronavirus .
Yesterday he gave a speech with fresh bandages over an apparent IV drug injection spot on the back of his hand , and even with the drug boost , he was only able to speak for eighteen minutes before giving up .
Then he spent the rest of the day apparently being too wiped out to even tweet anything .
But it does appear that Trump has just enough “ stamina ” to watch cable news , because he ’ s already ranting about the newly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he ’ s down by twelve points nationwide .
Trump posted this bizarre tweet in response : In 2016 , the ABC News/Washington Post Poll was such a complete disaster that these two Fake News Organizations changed the numbers prior to the Election .
Now these haters are trying the same thing , though on a lesser scale , again .
Will have a bigger win than even 2016 !
To be clear , none of what Trump is describing really happened , and in fact none of what he ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tweet reveals that Trump is indeed using his limited energy to watch cable news and delusionally rant about how he ’ s somehow not really losing .
This isn ’ t a guy who ’ s trying to win .
That gives us an opportunity to focus on voter turnout , phone banking , and volunteering , an run up the score .

palmerreport--2020-10-12--This is devastating to Donald Trump

This is devastating to Donald Trump

The thing that most people still don ’ t get about the 2016 election is that the polls were correct .
The final polling averages had Clinton up four points over Trump .
Clinton ended up beating Trump by two points , which was within the margin of error – it just wasn ’ t enough for her to win the Electoral College .
That comes as little consolation about the fact that we ’ ve been stuck with Donald Trump for the past four years .
But it means that the whole “ Don ’ t trust the polls @ @ @ @ @ @ @ narrative is total nonsense .
In reality , 2016 was yet another reminder that the polling averages usually end up being correct within the margin .
This brings us to 2020 , which as it turns out is an entirely different election than 2016 from a mathematical standpoint .
Clinton led throughout 2016 , but was always a fairly close race – with the exception of the brief window of time between the Access Hollywood tape ( which gave Clinton a boost ) and the Comey letter ( which completely erased that boost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about 2020 : at no point has it been a close race .
Joe Biden ’ s lead in the polling averages has been eight points all along , which in modern presidential election terms is a blowout .
That eight point margin hasn ’ t budged all year – until now .
Recent events , from Trump ’ s tax returns , to his debate flame out , to giving himself coronavirus , to his hospital antics , have allowed Joe Biden to expand his lead in the polling averages from eight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the rest of the major polls have finished being updated over the next few days , it won ’ t be surprising if it climbs a bit higher than ten points .
If the polls are wrong in 2020 in the exact same way that they were wrong in 2016 , then Biden will win the popular vote by eight points , which will give him an Electoral College blowout .
It ’ s a large enough margin that even cheating and suppression efforts won ’ t matter .
Of course this does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Not by any means .
But if we spend these final three weeks putting in the work required in terms of voter turnout , then Joe Biden will win .
These numbers are devastating for Donald Trump , because it means there ’ s no course of action he can take to win .
All he can do is hope that we don ’ t bother to turn out and vote .
Let ’ s crush his hopes .

Donald Trump’s scandals keep multiplying. The polls are making clear that a growing majority of Americans are simply done with this guy and his catastrophic antics. Now Trump is looking for someone to blame for it all – and he’s blaming everyone.
Trump tweeted this: “ The Fake News, @CNN, MSDNC, the failing @nytimes, and the rest, are working overtime spewing every lie in the book to make sure they can demean and disparage, at the highest level possible, to try and win an election for a man who is totally unqualified to be your President, S.J.”
That’s right, Donald Trump is already laying the groundwork for blaming the media for his loss. We’re guessing “S.J.” is short for “Sleepy Joe” but considering how hallucinatory his behavior has become, he could be referring to the late Steve Jobs for all we know. Trump is lost in the weeds. Let’s drive voter turnout and run up the score against him.

palmerreport--2020-10-11--Amy Coney Barrett is even more of a disaster than you think

The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment enshrines one of the United States ’ most fundamental principles : the ability to freely exercise religion .
Legal scholars have spent their lives studying free exercise jurisprudence , soldiers have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our free exercise rights , and every American has knowingly or unknowingly availed him or herself of free exercise .
In a word , free exercise is hallowed ( pun intended ) .
With that in mind , questioning another ’ s faith shouldn ’ t be done lightly .
Impugning another ’ s ability @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people because of one ’ s faith is another matter entirely—one that should be done only in the most deserving of circumstances .
And that ’ s what we have here .
Donald Trump ’ s latest nomination to the Supreme Court , Judge Amy Coney Barrett , is a prominent member of an extremist Catholic group called People of Praise .
An article by Slate written in 2018 when Judge Barrett was being confirmed to her current seat on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals states : “ People of Praise members @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same-sex adviser , called a ‘ head ’ for men and ( until recently ) a ‘ handmaiden ’ for women , who gives input on a wide variety of personal decisions .
They swear ‘ a lifelong oath of loyalty ’ to the group.
” An article published by The Guardian Saturday details the story of a former member of People of Praise who stated “ The brainwashing and the groupthink , the female subjugation of being there to serve and listen to your spiritual head .
It was so devaluing .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” The article goes on to quote Thomas Csordas , who is an anthropology professor at the University of California , San Diego .
He stated that he thinks it ’ s wrong to focus on whether to call People of Praise a “ cult , ” and instead that an examination of the group ’ s community structure and nature is more important .
His conclusion ?
“ ‘ I think they ’ re potentially more dangerous and much more sophisticated [ than a cult ] .
.
.
It is not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ women to men means that they have to stay barefoot and pregnant .
Instead , they have to be lawyers and judges and submissive to men at the same time.
” Judge Barrett openly questions the need to adhere to judicial precedent , despite judicial precedent being the keystone of the American common law system .
Together , Judge Barrett ’ s faith-based allegiances and her hostility to judicial precedent more than merit scrutiny—they make her grossly unfit to sit as one of the nation ’ s highest goalkeepers .
The Free Exercise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a member of People of Praise , but it is clear that her particular cocktail of beliefs would be poison to society ’ s best interests .
Elections have consequences .
We must elect Joe Biden to give the Senate the worst chances possible of confirming Judge Barrett to the United States Supreme Court .

– Trump posted a tweet falsely claiming that he’s now cured and “immune” to coronavirus. Twitter covered up his tweet with a warning label about how full of crap he is.
– The media is being unbelievably negligent by harping on potential future Democratic court packing, while ignoring current Republican court packing.

palmerreport--2020-10-11--Donald Trump’s doctor must go to prison for this

Donald Trump ’ s doctor , Sean Conley , has lied repeatedly to the American public about Trump ’ s health .
Those lies have been scandalous , dangerous , and unpatriotic .
But is there a point at which Trump ’ s doctor ’ s dishonesty becomes criminal ?
Frankly , it just did .
Earlier today , Trump tweeted this : “ A total and complete sign off from White House Doctors yesterday .
That means I can ’ t get it ( immune ) , and can ’ t give it .
Very nice to know !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a lie .
Donald Trump has been on Remdesivir and dexamethasone , which is only given to patients whose coronavirus is serious .
Medical experts agree that someone with a serious case of coronavirus remains contagious for quite some time .
And nowhere has it been established that having had coronavirus makes you immune to coronavirus ; immunity doesn ’ t exist for some viruses , and it ’ s too early to know whether that ’ s the case with this virus .
This doctor ’ s lies are giving Donald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ White House and expose people to a deadly virus , including the people who sweep the floors and aren ’ t involved in his regime .
This doctor ’ s lies are also giving Trump an excuse to go out and hold in-person rallies and transmit the virus to his supporters , who will then transmit it to their local communities .
This has to be viewed as a criminal act on the part of this doctor .
Imagine if a doctor conspired with a patient to conceal an STD , and then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and they died .
This is no different .
Trump ’ s doctor is engaging in conspiracy to commit negligent homicide .
If he wants to argue that Trump forced him into it , he can make that argument to the judge and jury .

Earlier today, Trump tweeted this: “A total and complete sign off from White House Doctors yesterday. That means I can’t get it (immune), and can’t give it. Very nice to know!!!”
Every word of this is a lie. Donald Trump has been on Remdesivir and dexamethasone, which is only given to patients whose coronavirus is serious. Medical experts agree that someone with a serious case of coronavirus remains contagious for quite some time. And nowhere has it been established that having had coronavirus makes you immune to coronavirus; immunity doesn’t exist for some viruses, and it’s too early to know whether that’s the case with this virus.
This doctor’s lies are giving Donald Trump an excuse to go around the White House and expose people to a deadly virus, including the people who sweep the floors and aren’t involved in his regime. This doctor’s lies are also giving Trump an excuse to go out and hold in-person rallies and transmit the virus to his supporters, who will then transmit it to their local communities.
This has to be viewed as a criminal act on the part of this doctor. Imagine if a doctor conspired with a patient to conceal an STD, and then the patient gave that STD to others, and they died. This is no different. Trump’s doctor is engaging in conspiracy to commit negligent homicide. If he wants to argue that Trump forced him into it, he can make that argument to the judge and jury.

palmerreport--2020-10-11--Chuck Schumer just took a big swing

Chuck Schumer just took a big swing

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer just confirmed that he won ’ t give the Senate a quorum for the Amy Coney Barrett vote .
This strategy may work and it may not .
If it fails , there are other things he can try .
We ’ ll see .
But I don ’ t want to hear this whining about how Schumer and Senate Democrats aren ’ t trying to win this battle .
They very much are .
The biggest thing standing in Senate Democrats ’ way right now is the people on our side who are whining @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mitch McConnell is going on TV and arrogantly cackling about his past victories because he wants us to think Barrett ’ s confirmation is a done deal .
It is not a done deal .
He does ’ t know how it ‘ s going to turn out ; there are way too many variables at play , particularly with regard to the fluctuating Senate reelection races , and the moves that vulnerable GOP Senators might ultimately make as their poll numbers shift .
This battle is just getting started this week .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ you into not fighting , or are you going to fight ?
The time is now for us to lay it all on the line .

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer just confirmed that he won’t give the Senate a quorum for the Amy Coney Barrett vote. This strategy may work and it may not. If it fails, there are other things he can try. We’ll see. But I don’t want to hear this whining about how Schumer and Senate Democrats aren’t trying to win this battle. They very much are. The biggest thing standing in Senate Democrats’ way right now is the people on our side who are whining instead of fighting.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is going on TV and arrogantly cackling about his past victories because he wants us to think Barrett’s confirmation is a done deal. It is not a done deal. He does’t know how it ‘s going to turn out; there are way too many variables at play, particularly with regard to the fluctuating Senate reelection races, and the moves that vulnerable GOP Senators might ultimately make as their poll numbers shift.
This battle is just getting started this week. Are you going to let McConnell trick you into not fighting, or are you going to fight? The time is now for us to lay it all on the line.

palmerreport--2020-10-11--Joe Biden just nailed it

Joe Biden just nailed it

Although there ’ s little question that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris handily won their respective debates – and they may be the only two debates they participate in this election cycle , with Donald Trump managing to get the second debate canceled with his tantrums – there ’ s been a criticism that they never addressed the issue of “ court packing , ” something that the Republicans hope they can use to weather the storm in an election that could bring record losses .
Both Donald Trump and Mike Pence took the stage in their respective debates with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats to say “ yes ” on court-packing , they ’ ll alienate moderate voters who are well-aware of all the authoritarian connotations that term has .
If Biden or Harris were to say “ no , ” then they could alienate left-leaning voters hoping for a change to the democratic system that Trump and his cronies have worked to destroy .
This tactic has trickled down to the senatorial debates , with vulnerable Republicans like John Cornyn and Martha McSally trying to make similar accusations against their opponents , and there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who are expecting a substantial answer on the issue .
Biden and Harris both did well to brush off their opponents ’ attacks , but on Saturday morning , Joe Biden made things clearer when he spoke with reporters from Bloomberg on his way to a campaign stop : “ The only court packing going on is going on with the Republicans packing the court right now.
” This is exactly how his supporters and the media need to look at this and where they need to push the conversation – but more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s relentless appointment of horribly unqualified judges at the federal level .
That ’ s why we need to vote for Joe Biden and Democrats down the ballot by November 3 .

Both Donald Trump and Mike Pence took the stage in their respective debates with the belief that if they can get Democrats to say “yes” on court-packing, they’ll alienate moderate voters who are well-aware of all the authoritarian connotations that term has. If Biden or Harris were to say “no,” then they could alienate left-leaning voters hoping for a change to the democratic system that Trump and his cronies have worked to destroy.
This tactic has trickled down to the senatorial debates, with vulnerable Republicans like John Cornyn and Martha McSally trying to make similar accusations against their opponents, and there are a few middle of the road voters who are expecting a substantial answer on the issue. Biden and Harris both did well to brush off their opponents’ attacks, but on Saturday morning, Joe Biden made things clearer when he spoke with reporters from Bloomberg on his way to a campaign stop: “The only court packing going on is going on with the Republicans packing the court right now.”
This is exactly how his supporters and the media need to look at this and where they need to push the conversation – but more importantly, we need to stop Mitch’s relentless appointment of horribly unqualified judges at the federal level. That’s why we need to vote for Joe Biden and Democrats down the ballot by November 3.

In recent weeks we’ve seen Donald Trump Junior became more frantic, erratic, and unhinged in his public appearances, leading to a debate across social media as to whether it might be a drug issue or a mental breakdown. Now his brother Eric Trump has given a remarkably similar performance.
This morning Eric Trump appeared on ABC This Week, and he was asked about his father’s recently exposed massive debts. In response, Eric began loudly babbling at high speed, and at some points began outright screaming, all while refusing to come up for a breath:
It’s worth noting that Eric Trump’s meltdown on live national television this morning comes just a few days after he was forced to testify to the New York Attorney General’s office about the financial fraud committed by Donald Trump and the Trump Organization. Just how badly did his testimony go?

palmerreport--2020-10-11--Donald Trump’s coronavirus test con game

The British government recently decreed that it was safe to eat in restaurants again .
( That decree was later rescinded in a baffling set of self-contradictory further decrees . )
Permit me to put that another way .
The British government recently decreed that it was safe to eat food and use plates and utensils prepared by and handled by people who may or may not carry coronavirus .
Put that way I hope that the original government decree sounds as insane to you as it does to me .
For my part , my days of eating in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are over .
Until the coronavirus pandemic is finished and the virus conquered I won ’ t be carrying out food or dining out anywhere , ever .
( As a vegan I ’ m not missing out on that much anyway . )
Everything that enters my house gets thoroughly disinfected .
I refuse to put my life in the hands of people I don ’ t know — if I can help it .
The idea that a virus would obey a government decree is laughable , and ought to tell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with reality a government can get .
Doubly so when the government is the government of Donald Trump , and the official handing down the decree is Donald Trump ’ s personal physician Dr. Sean Conley .
Conley recently announced that , thanks to his latest PCR and other advanced tests , Trump has been “ fever free for well over 24 hours and all symptoms improved , the assortment of advanced diagnostic tests obtained reveal there is no longer evidence of actively replicating virus.
” Yet , according to Dr. David Shulkin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump , “ What that means is he hasn ’ t had symptoms for 24 hours , our general recommendations are to be symptom free for 72 hours.
” But don ’ t let reality get in the way of a government decree .
The point to this rush job is so Trump can get back on the campaign trail , start giving his Nuremberg-style rallies and start feeding his insatiable , bottomless ego again .
Like the Cowardly Lion , all Trump lacked to prove his mojo was a token medal , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him with one .
So now everyone at Trump ’ s rallies can feel safe and certified by government decree thanks to Dr. Conley and his PCR test , and the lowly upstart coronavirus is sufficiently and appropriately chastened .
The PCR test , in case you didn ’ t know , is the costly and complicated gold standard for coronavirus tests , usually delivering results in four to six hours to elite patients .
Most facilities do not have the resources to run a PCR test .
The test reveals if you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if you ’ ve ever had it in the past .
It ’ s useful in judging if you are infectious , but it requires a 72 hour waiting period to be safe and sure , as Dr. Shulkin pointed out .
Obviously , we don ’ t even know if Dr. Conley is telling the truth about the PCR test .
He may be every bit as big a psychopath as Trump .
There are plenty of psychopaths in Donald Trump ’ s pirate ship administration .
But there are even more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that , another coward in the slavish thrall of Donald Trump , willing to humiliate himself for his audience of one and exaggerate and fastrack his diagnosis to please his lord and master .
The bottom line is coronavirus is being given yet another government decree .
I ’ m sure the deadly pathogen will give that memo all the attention it deserves .
Until then , thousands , possibly millions of idiots alive right now will be dead one day thanks to this monstrosity usurping the sacred house of We the People @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Donald Trump is unfit to be president of the United States , this has been another one .
We can ’ t get rid of him by clicking our heels together three times and wishing , we have to get up and vote Trump and his piratical regime off the face of the earth .

palmerreport--2020-10-11--Donald Trump’s doctor is more full of crap than ever

On Friday , October 2 , Donald Trump went to Walter Reed Medical Center , having tested positive for the coronavirus .
A few days later , he returned to the White House and has since returned to the Oval Office , and hosted a stupid campaign stunt at the White House on Saturday .
Before going to Walter Reed , he insisted his doctors sign NDAs , and Dr. Conley has been worthless when it comes to understanding Trump ’ s condition , refusing to state anything of substance .
When asked when the last negative test had occurred @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nothing , suggesting that he had no tests done until he fell ill. One clue that we are not being told the truth about any of this is the inane statement to Tucker Carlson on Friday : “ I have been retested , and I haven ’ t even found out numbers or anything yet .
But I ’ ve been retested , and I know I ’ m at either the bottom of the scale or free.
” The test is pass/fail .
You are either one or other , there is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sure .
What is more troubling is that on Saturday , Conley issued a memo stating that Trump was free to resume his normal activity , given 10 days from symptoms had passed .
But the CDC site warns that those like Trump , who have been seriously ill , should quarantine longer .
Dating back to the time he was a teenager avoiding military service with fake bone spurs , all of Donald Trump ’ s medical reports have been bogus .
So we once again have a reckless , dangerous administration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump , but Lindsey Graham , Chuck Grassley , and Mike Pence , all of whom have been exposed and could be spreading the virus as we speak .

palmerreport--2020-10-11--This is just ugly for Donald Trump

This is just ugly for Donald Trump

Donald Trump has had an extraordinarily ugly week for a number of reasons .
The question continues to be whether his poll numbers , which are already at rock bottom by modern historical standards , can be driven any lower .
It looks like the answer is yes – at least incrementally .
But one number in particular is just plain ugly for him .
The new ABC Washington Post poll , released late on Saturday night , has Joe Biden up by twelve points nationwide over Donald Trump .
This is an increase of two points since the last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weeks ago .
Biden ’ s overall lead in the national polling averages remains at around ten points .
But that ’ s not the number Trump should be worried about .
This same poll says that while Biden and Trump are tied with men voters , Biden has a whopping twenty-three point lead with women voters .
This is tough for Trump , because he ’ s made it clear that he views white suburban women as key to his reelection strategy – and it ’ s just not happening .
Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two points with white voters , a demographic that the Republicans usually dominate .
These numbers are all bad for Trump .
Biden is exactly where you ’ d like him to be .
Trump wishes he were where Biden is .
This represents an opportunity to double down on our efforts to drive voter turnout and really run up the score , putting Trump out of his political misery .

palmerreport--2020-10-12--Donald Trump completely wigs out as it all falls apart for him

Poll numbers only matter if we actually turn out and vote – but Donald Trump ’ s poll numbers keep getting worse and are now historically bad .
Earlier today , Trump got wind of how badly he ’ s losing in the latest ABC News poll and had a bitter meltdown about it on Twitter .
But now his babysitters seem to have fed him some cheerier numbers to get him to stop crying .
Trump posted this tweet this evening : “ Record 96 % Approval Rating in the Republican Party .
53 % Approval Rating Overall .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” than 4 Years Ago ( Gallup ) during the Obama/Sleepy Joe Biden Administration , even as we round the turn on the China Plague .
Thank you .
Next year will be the BEST EVER !
!
!
” Here ’ s the thing : none of this is real .
Trump keeps insisting he has a 96 % approval rating within the Republican Party but he ’ s never cited an actual poll ; real polls suggest the number is far lower .
He clearly doesn ’ t have a 53 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while the Gallup number he ’ s quoting is true , that same Gallup poll shows that a majority of Americans still disapprove of Trump .
Donald Trump is desperately clinging to any imaginary semblance of good news he can get his hands on .
If he wanted to improve his actual poll numbers instead of making up fake ones , he might want to stop using racial slurs like “ China Plague ” and start finally taking the coronavirus seriously – but we all know he won ’ t do that .

Here’s the thing: none of this is real. Trump keeps insisting he has a 96% approval rating within the Republican Party but he’s never cited an actual poll; real polls suggest the number is far lower. He clearly doesn’t have a 53% overall approval rating either. And while the Gallup number he’s quoting is true, that same Gallup poll shows that a majority of Americans still disapprove of Trump.
Donald Trump is desperately clinging to any imaginary semblance of good news he can get his hands on. If he wanted to improve his actual poll numbers instead of making up fake ones, he might want to stop using racial slurs like “China Plague” and start finally taking the coronavirus seriously – but we all know he won’t do that.

Trump is now reduced to calling in to Fox News and not only insisting that he has immunity to coronavirus, but also insisting that he has a “protective glow” about him. No really, he said this. It’s not uncommon for people to have near death experiences, not quite die, and then delusionally think they’re now magically immortal. But Trump is already one of the most delusional people alive, and his near death experience seems to have completely shattered his already-broken mind.
Also, Donald Trump is still near death. He had fresh bandages on his hand during his White House balcony speech on Saturday, suggesting he’d just been given an IV drug injection to keep him upright. No wonder Trump’s advisers think he’s “going to kill himself” by putting too much effort into campaigning while he’s still very ill.

Even though Donald Trump had a freshly bandaged hand suggesting an IV drug injection to help him get through it, he was still only able to speak for eighteen minutes from the White House balcony yesterday before calling it a day. He appears to be in terrible shape, due to his ongoing coronavirus infection and his very poor underlying health.
Despite this, Trump is now demanding that his campaign send him out on the road every remaining day of the election cycle. Not only would this be shockingly irresponsible from a contagiousness standpoint, it would also put Trump’s sinking health at dire risk.
In fact Axios is quoting one unnamed Trump adviser who fears “he’s going to kill himself” by overdoing it on the campaign trail. The thing is, Trump may not have much to lose. If he loses the election he’s going to prison for the rest of his life anyway.
Meanwhile the nation continues to fall apart as this deranged criminal Donald Trump plays out his no-win endgame. Vote for Joe Biden.

After several days of refusing to say when Donald Trump most recently took a coronavirus test or what the result was, Dr. Sean Conley announced this evening that Trump has tested negative on the Abbott test two days in a row. But as always, this doctor is trying to obscure the truth.
For starters, Conley’s verbiage about Trump’s PRR testing suggests that Trump is still testing positive on the more reliable testing scale. So even if he has tested negative on the Abbott test two days in a row, that doesn’t mean much, considering how shockingly often the Abbott test reportedly delivers false negative results.
But here’s the real kicker: Conley is now claiming that Trump has tested negative on the Abbott test yesterday and today. If this were the case, he would have announced yesterday that Trump tested negative, instead of waiting until today. This is a joke, and this doctor can’t even get his lies straight.

This weekend the Donald Trump campaign began running TV ads which appear to show Dr. Anthony Fauci praising Trump’s coronavirus response, in an attempt at falsely painting Fauci as having endorsed Trump. But the Fauci quote is out of context, and let’s just say that he’s not happy about it.
The Trump campaign reportedly tried to keep Fauci off the air yesterday, but now he’s on CNN and he’s spelling out why he wants the Trump campaign to take the ad down, as captured by The Recount:
Watch Dr. Fauci discuss the misleading ad: pic.twitter.com/i5wTk8Lc7y — The Recount (@therecount) October 12, 2020
If anything, this ad is now backfiring on Donald Trump. No one outside Trump’s base was ever going to believe that Fauci had endorsed him anyway, and now the debacle is prompting Fauci to go on television and slam the Trump campaign for being dishonest. Trump’s pettiness isn’t helping him at all.

Now it turns out it’s even worse. When Donald Trump was getting on Air Force One today, he reportedly wasn’t bothering to wear a mask. That’s right, even his brief period of mask wearing seems to be over. We’ll see if Trump ends up wearing a mask when he gets off the plane in Florida, or when he inevitably gets near his supporters and/or venue employees this evening. But wow is this guy on some kind of murder-suicide mission.
It’s also notable that Donald Trump walked up a much shorter than usual flight of stairs while boarding Air Force One today. This underscores that he’s still very sick and weak, and that his handlers are trying to hide it by giving him a shorter flight of stairs that he can actually walk up without gasping for air.

It ’ s as if they ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , after watching Kamala Harris wipe the floor with Mike Pence last week , maybe Team Trump is just rightly scared of her .

In any case , Donald Trump ’ s inability to lay a glove on Kamala Harris merely serves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the right VP pick both in terms of merit and in terms of strategy .
