As Donald Trump continues to unravel, he keeps falsely accusing MSNBC host “Morning Joe” Scarborough of murdering a woman – with increasingly frequency and histrionics. Trump’s negative obsession with Scarborough has reached psychotic levels. What politician tries to frame a journalist for murder?
Morning Joe contributor Kurt Bardella, who works alongside Scarborough, appeared on the AM Joy show and aptly explained why Trump is so derangedly obsessed with Joe (if the video below doesn’t play on your computer, go here instead):
Why is @realDonaldTrump attacking @JoeNBC @Morning_Joe? As I said earlier on #AMJOY like a kid in elementary school, "the people that he attacks the hardest, are the ones that he is seeking their validation from the most…he wants our approval, he wants our acceptance…" pic.twitter.com/0ex81PRaTT — Kurt Bardella (@kurtbardella) May 24, 2020

From her vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, to her vote to acquit Donald Trump in his impeachment trial, Republican Senator Susan Collins has been thoroughly embarrassing herself and her home state of Maine for the past year and a half. Renowned author Stephen King, a proud resident of Maine, has absolutely had it with Collins’ antics.
Stephen King tweeted this: “Susan Collins voted along party lines to confirm Trump pick, arch-conservative John Ratcliffe, as Director of National Intelligence. He has no experience. His only selling point is his devotion to Donald Trump. Susan Collins must go.”
The good news is that Susan Collins is up for reelection this November, and she’s facing strong competition from Democratic challenger Sara Gideon. You can support her campaign here.

After Donald Trump finishes using someone and destroying them in the process , he discards them – and expects them to go away quietly .

He already lost his Senate seat and destroyed his reputation by doing Trump ’ s bidding .

Trump just posted a series of retweets that are disturbing even for him .
He posted an image of Nancy Pelosi ’ s mouth duct taped shut , which evokes all kinds of misogyny .
Trump then retweeted someone who claimed that potential Biden running mate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ restaurant ” in Georgia , in apparent reference her weight .
Then retweeted someone who referred to Hillary Clinton as “ HRC the Skank.
” But Trump ’ s vicious attacks on women weren ’ t limited to his adversaries .
In a misguided attempt at promoting his own White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany , he retweeted a photoshopped image of her smoking a joint while holding a press briefing .
What is even going on here ?
Donald Trump has always been sick and twisted , particularly when it comes to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ women have credibly accused him of sexual assault over the years .

palmerreport--2020-05-24--Donald Trump suffers embarrassing “Transition to Biden” debacle, gives something away in the process

Good campaign slogans are tricky to come up with , as evidenced by the sheer number of bad campaign slogans we ’ ve seen from presidential candidates on both sides over the years .
But if you really want to know just how vapid , fraudulent , and barely-there Donald Trump ’ s 2020 campaign is , you need look no further than this how badly this slogan debacle is playing out .
When Donald Trump decided that he needed to explain why America has become such a disaster under his watch , his campaign came up with the slogan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the kind of dud that never should have seen the light of day – but that happens to candidates .
What ’ s remarkable is what came after Trump debuted it .
The first time Trump tweeted “ Transition to Greatness , ” people very quickly came up with the “ Transition to Biden ” retort .
Trump ’ s people should have seen this coming .
A transition is usually from one person to another , and in presidential politics in particular , it usually refers to the transition period when a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
After Trump tried the slogan once and “ Transition to Biden ” immediately became a thing , that should have been the end of it , right ?
After all , it wasn ’ t just a dud at that point – it was a humiliating misfire .
Yet Donald Trump keeps tweeting “ Transition to Greatness ” over and over again .
Each time the results are even worse for him .
After he tried it today , “ Transition to Biden ” quickly became the top trending topic on Twitter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is too delusional , and slipping too badly in the cognitive department , to understand this slogan is backfiring on him .
But where are his campaign advisers to pull the plug on this nonsense ?
Whoever in his campaign fed this terrible slogan to Donald Trump to begin with , that person should be going back to Trump and telling him to stop using it .
But no one wants to do that , because then the campaign would need to come up with another slogan to take its place – and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slogan debacle is giving away that Trump ’ s 2020 campaign really is as much of a fraudulent joke as it ’ s been made out to be .
If the people running Trump ’ s campaign cared about winning , they ’ d have been all over this slogan debacle by now .

palmerreport--2020-05-25--Donald Trump’s hydroxychloroquine debacle just got even uglier for him

It ’ s difficult to say what would be more recklessly deranged : the idea that Donald Trump would take hydroxychloroquine as a coronavirus preventative when it provides no such protection and kills some people , or the idea that Trump would pretend he ’ s taking it in order to con his gullible supporters into taking it so he can cash in .
Either way , the whole thing keeps getting uglier for him .
In the face of mounting controversy , Donald Trump is now conveniently claiming that he ’ s reached the end of his prescribed hydroxychloroquine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there is no hydroxychloroquine regimen for preventing coronavirus .
In any case , one of Trump ’ s closest allies , the corrupt President of Brazil , is also a major pusher of hydroxychloroquine .
How ’ s that working out ?
The coronavirus crisis has gotten so awful in Brazil , Bloomberg is reporting that the Trump regime is now banning travel from Brazil to the United States .
As with Donald Trump in the United States , Brazil ’ s Bolsonaro has done a number of things terribly wrong to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Pushing hydroxychloroquine is just one of them .
But wow does this keep getting uglier , both in terms of overall negligence , and in terms of the idiocy of pushing hydroxychloroquine as a supposed coronavirus miracle cure .

Donald Trump is losing badly. Public polls confirm as much. The Trump 2020 campaign’s own internal polls confirm as much. As the pandemic and ecumenic collapse continue to grow worse, and Trump continues to treat the whole thing in tone-deaf fashion, his reelection prospects are only getting uglier.
So what’s going wrong? Anthony Scaramucci briefly served as Donald Trump’s Communications Director, but he’s since loudly and consistently stood up against Trump. Scaramucci has this to say about why Trump is in so much trouble:
He knows it. His campaign knows it but they don’t want to talk about it. He is losing older women voters in big numbers. They aren’t coming back. The numbers are really bad in the important six states. — Anthony Scaramucci (@Scaramucci) May 24, 2020

Scaramucci also retweeted Joe Biden’s new TV ad criticizing Trump for playing golf during a pandemic, adding “Unbelievable tragedy. . . The callousness and selfishness won’t be forgotten.”

Donald Trump has a huge Ohio problem

It ’ s getting harder each day for Donald Trump to see the good side of things .
He ’ s shaking up his campaign staff , but can ’ t be 100 % sure who ’ s cheating him and who isn ’ t , and a campaign that originally hoped to widen Trump ’ s electoral win in 2020 by flipping states like New Mexico and Minnesota now has to play defense in territory that Trump needs if he wants any shot at re-election .
Joe Biden has stayed a few points ahead in nearly all of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ signs that Ohio might also be in play .
Despite being known as a sort of bellwether state that determines which way the country as a whole might swing , Ohio has leaned a bit more conservative than much of the country .
Although the primary took place some time ago , we ’ re getting a clearer picture of some of the numbers – and the story isn ’ t exactly one that Republicans want to hear after they won the state by eight points in 2016 and narrowly kept the governorship @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Ohio officially becoming a red state , but there ’ s a few numbers that don ’ t sit right with Republican pollsters .
To begin with , Ohio holds semi-open primaries in which registered voters can vote in either party ’ s primary – with a number of Republicans crossing over to vote in the Democratic primary .
You could read this as an attempt to sabotage the primary , but Ohio ’ s deadline for ballots was three weeks after Joe Biden became the presumptive nominee .
The voters also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other in order to vote , which means that it ’ s possible to see how many voters switched over to vote in the other party ’ s primary .
You ’ d normally expect these numbers to be about even during any election year , but in one solidly Republican 12th congressional district of Ohio , there were 8,800 Republicans who decided to vote in the Democratic primary , while only 1,200 Democrats chose to vote in the Republican one – and nearly 8,000 more unaffiliated voters requested Democratic primary ballots than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden leads nationwide by 13 % .
There is the possibility that Trump could still win Ohio , but he desperately needs it , while Biden has a clear path to victory without it .

palmerreport--2020-05-24--The real reason Donald Trump has to worry about what Ann Coulter just did to him

As a general rule I refuse to write about what Ann Coulter says , because nearly every time she opens her mouth it ’ s in order to purposely and calculatedly say something stupid , for the purpose of drawing attention to herself and selling more of her books .
I only make an exception when Coulter occasionally says something that gives away what ’ s happening on Donald Trump ’ s side of the fence – and today is one of those days .
Coulter has feuded with Trump on Twitter before , but usually only on specific issues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know can ultimately be glossed over later .
But Coulter is doing something different today .
She ’ s posted about a dozen scathing anti-Trump tweets , pointing out his crimes in the Trump-Russia scandal , explaining how he screwed up the Alabama Senate election , and apologizing for having believed that Trump was going to be remotely competent .
Coulter is clearly hoping Trump will attack her in return , and he probably will .
But while this is yet another attempt at publicity , it ’ s not some one-off feud @ @ @ @ @ @ @ herself as an anti-Trump conservative who thinks Trump is a complete idiot across the board .
So why do this ?
She must have calculated that the bulk of her own far-right audience is turning against ( or will end up turning against ) Trump , and she ’ s looking to very loudly get out ahead of it .
It ’ s easy to think of Ann Coulter as a dope because she says so many stupid things .
But she ’ s spent years playing this game ( and winning , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saying the precise kinds of stupid things that are calculated to drive sales of her books .
Four years ago she correctly bet that the smart money on the far right was to be made by loudly supporting Trump .
Now she ’ s betting that going forward , the smart money on the right is to be made by loudly slamming Trump .

As a general rule I refuse to write about what Ann Coulter says, because nearly every time she opens her mouth it’s in order to purposely and calculatedly say something stupid, for the purpose of drawing attention to herself and selling more of her books. I only make an exception when Coulter occasionally says something that gives away what’s happening on Donald Trump’s side of the fence – and today is one of those days.
Coulter has feuded with Trump on Twitter before, but usually only on specific issues, and in ways that they both know can ultimately be glossed over later. But Coulter is doing something different today. She’s posted about a dozen scathing anti-Trump tweets, pointing out his crimes in the Trump-Russia scandal, explaining how he screwed up the Alabama Senate election, and apologizing for having believed that Trump was going to be remotely competent.
Coulter is clearly hoping Trump will attack her in return, and he probably will. But while this is yet another attempt at publicity, it’s not some one-off feud. Coulter is trying to clearly establish herself as an anti-Trump conservative who thinks Trump is a complete idiot across the board. So why do this? She must have calculated that the bulk of her own far-right audience is turning against (or will end up turning against) Trump, and she’s looking to very loudly get out ahead of it.
It’s easy to think of Ann Coulter as a dope because she says so many stupid things. But she’s spent years playing this game (and winning, in terms of book sales) by saying the precise kinds of stupid things that are calculated to drive sales of her books. Four years ago she correctly bet that the smart money on the far right was to be made by loudly supporting Trump. Now she’s betting that going forward, the smart money on the right is to be made by loudly slamming Trump. She deserves absolutely no credit for any of this, of course. But here’s hoping she’s betting correctly, and that Trump is going down.

palmerreport--2020-05-24--The science of Donald Trump’s failure

The science of Donald Trump’s failure

Atheist Christopher Hitchens was once asked if proof of God ’ s existence were found would he reverse his position and become a believer .
“ Of course I would , ” Hitchens instantly replied , “ what a ridiculous question.
” It is instructive to point out that Hitchens didn ’ t quibble about the meaning of the word “ proof , ” nor did he demand that his interlocutor give an example of what constituted proof in this particular case .
He didn ’ t insist that proof for such a proposition was impossible to find because the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accepted the idea that proof , that is , evidence sufficient to convince , had been adduced in a relevant hypothetical .
He asserted he would immediately reverse his position in light of such evidence .
To suggest otherwise was “ ridiculous.
” I ’ m not so naive as to to suggest Mr. Hitchens wasn ’ t ready for the question , nor am I going to suggest that he wasn ’ t perfectly aware that , sadly , the question was far from ridiculous .
He was merely making a point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ridiculousness of the question applied to himself in particular , and about how it applied to far too few people in general .
His willingness to reverse himself so quickly ought to be instructive to us all .
That it is not is largely down to the persistence of the ignorance of science .
Science at its best reverses itself immediately on any position when contradictory evidence comes to light .
I say , “ at its best , ” because it seldom does .
Remember , scientists are human beings too , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much as you do .
But any scientist worthy of the name will admit to this wrongness , sooner or later , because they know they must , because science demands it .
It is an attitude we would all do well to adopt .
Those of you who know me know I am a staunch opponent of conspiracy theories .
A conspiracy theory , as Wikipedia defines it , is any “ explanation for an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy by sinister and powerful groups , often political in motivation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” These theories are often invoked without evidence .
They include ( but are not limited to ) 9/11 Trutherism , the Moon Hoax theory , crop circles , birtherism , anti-vaxxerism , the two or three thousand different Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories , and so on .
I am prepared to reverse my position on any of those theories the hour , the minute , the second evidence sufficient to convince me otherwise should appear .
Like Mr. Hitchens , I ’ m not going to quibble about the hypothetical , either @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say that I will stick to my position no matter what .
That is not my position and it never has been .
That is the difference , finally , between science and religion , and that difference is now no longer theoretical nor academic but has become deadly in the distinction .
As I write this roughly 100,000 Americans are dead because the president of the United States doesn ’ t understand that science matters and that science is better and more reliable than his self-proclaimed instinct .
Moreover , had it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support him understood this , he would be unable to fool them and lie to them .
In fact he wouldn ’ t try .
Trump lies because he knows he can get away with it .
Rampant ignorance of science is why today the seeds of a million more American deaths are being planted in churches across America today .
The president of the United States could have tried to persuade Americans to stay home , but he chose not to .
He made this choice because he knew many of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ churches as a position of strength , even though he won ’ t go to church himself , even though he will probably play golf instead .
We must get rid of Trump in November , and we will .
But the ignorance that made Trump possible will remain behind .
The greatest lesson in this time of coronavirus is that science matters .
Science saves lives .
Science is where we must turn for answers .
Science education needs to become a priority .
Yes , science is sometimes wrong , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we are sometimes wrong when we are driving home and we make a wrong turn .
We get home because we realize we made a wrong turn and we go back and we fix it .
Science is better than dogma every time , because dogma never finds its way home , and it never will .
Science will and does find its way home , sooner or later .
And , as ever , ladies and gentlemen , brothers and sisters , comrades and friends , stay safe .

He didn’t insist that proof for such a proposition was impossible to find because the evidence against was so overwhelming. He accepted the idea that proof, that is, evidence sufficient to convince, had been adduced in a relevant hypothetical. He asserted he would immediately reverse his position in light of such evidence. To suggest otherwise was “ridiculous.”
I’m not so naive as to to suggest Mr. Hitchens wasn’t ready for the question, nor am I going to suggest that he wasn’t perfectly aware that, sadly, the question was far from ridiculous. He was merely making a point (I believe) about how the ridiculousness of the question applied to himself in particular, and about how it applied to far too few people in general. His willingness to reverse himself so quickly ought to be instructive to us all. That it is not is largely down to the persistence of the ignorance of science.
Science at its best reverses itself immediately on any position when contradictory evidence comes to light. I say, “at its best,” because it seldom does. Remember, scientists are human beings too, and they hate being wrong just as much as you do. But any scientist worthy of the name will admit to this wrongness, sooner or later, because they know they must, because science demands it. It is an attitude we would all do well to adopt.
Those of you who know me know I am a staunch opponent of conspiracy theories. A conspiracy theory, as Wikipedia defines it, is any “explanation for an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy by sinister and powerful groups, often political in motivation, when other explanations are more probable.” These theories are often invoked without evidence. They include (but are not limited to) 9/11 Trutherism, the Moon Hoax theory, crop circles, birtherism, anti-vaxxerism, the two or three thousand different Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories, and so on.
I am prepared to reverse my position on any of those theories the hour, the minute, the second evidence sufficient to convince me otherwise should appear. Like Mr. Hitchens, I’m not going to quibble about the hypothetical, either. But you will never hear me say that I will stick to my position no matter what. That is not my position and it never has been.
That is the difference, finally, between science and religion, and that difference is now no longer theoretical nor academic but has become deadly in the distinction. As I write this roughly 100,000 Americans are dead because the president of the United States doesn’t understand that science matters and that science is better and more reliable than his self-proclaimed instinct. Moreover, had it been the case that the people who support him understood this, he would be unable to fool them and lie to them. In fact he wouldn’t try. Trump lies because he knows he can get away with it.
Rampant ignorance of science is why today the seeds of a million more American deaths are being planted in churches across America today. The president of the United States could have tried to persuade Americans to stay home, but he chose not to. He made this choice because he knew many of his followers would perceive his encouragement to reopen churches as a position of strength, even though he won’t go to church himself, even though he will probably play golf instead.
We must get rid of Trump in November, and we will. But the ignorance that made Trump possible will remain behind. The greatest lesson in this time of coronavirus is that science matters. Science saves lives. Science is where we must turn for answers. Science education needs to become a priority. Yes, science is sometimes wrong, but it is wrong in the same way we are sometimes wrong when we are driving home and we make a wrong turn. We get home because we realize we made a wrong turn and we go back and we fix it. Science is better than dogma every time, because dogma never finds its way home, and it never will. Science will and does find its way home, sooner or later. And, as ever, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, comrades and friends, stay safe.

Everything hits the fan

Judge Sullivan of the Flynn case just hired a high-powered lawyer to represent himself .

Of all the repulsive scraps that were hastily thrown into the fetid stew that cooked up Donald John Trump nearly 74 years ago , the most disturbing one has to be cruelty .
Many politicians get called cruel when their policies adversely affect or overlook certain people .

When Fred Sr. ( their father ) died in 1999 , Freddy ’ s family discovered that they were excluded from his will , which Trump helped his father rewrite as he suffered from dementia .

” Trump ’ s cruelty was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and it did not end after Russia installed Trump in the White House .
While Trump ’ s mental derangement has been grabbing most of the headlines lately , it remains a fact that Trump is an enthusiastic practitioner of evil .

Not only would this cruelty cost taxpayers an additional $ 500 million , but it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hopes , according to reporting by the Washington Post .
As another recent example , Trump is adding unnecessary disrespect and grief to thousands of National Guard members who have dutifully provided desperately needed help to Americans during the pandemic .

Even as the coronavirus pandemic claims lives and threatens the economy, Trump is renewing demands that his border wall be painted black so that people who try to cross the border can get burned.

palmerreport--2020-05-24--Donald Trump’s projection is showing

Donald Trump’s projection is showing

For all his erratic and maniacal behavior , Donald Trump is consistently predictable in certain ways .
For instance , he ’ s so deeply lost in a haze of projection that whenever he randomly accuses an adversary of something awful , it usually turns out Trump himself is guilty of that same exact thing .
That brings us to Donald Trump ’ s behavior over the past few days .
For instance , Trump just said that he doesn ’ t think Joe Biden can remember what he said or did yesterday .
If you follow Biden , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these days as he did in his youth , but he ’ s still plenty sharp .
Trump ’ s false assertion that Biden is so far gone he can ’ t remember what he was doing yesterday ?
That sounds like Trump admitting that he can ’ t remember what he was doing yesterday – and if you follow Trump ’ s behavior , it ’ s pretty clear that he ’ s in severe cognitive decline .
In another disturbing example , Trump tripled down last night on his insistence that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intern .
This is absolutely not the case , and Trump is certainly not helping his cause by continuing to make this false accusation .
But considering Trump ’ s sense of projection , it does make you wonder if Trump has gotten violent with his own female employees in the past , and that ’ s why he ’ s so obsessively trying to pin this same crime on Scarborough .
The point of projection is to try to steer blame and attention away from yourself by pinning your failings on others @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at this .
At this point he ’ s being so blatant and oddly specific about it , he ’ s practically telegraphing what we should go digging for in his past , in his medical records , and so on .
Trump can ’ t even do projection right anymore .
His mind really does seem to be failing – as he seemed to acknowledge when when he essentially admitted that he can no longer remember what he ’ s doing from one day to the next .

After Donald Trump went golfing during a pandemic instead of staying home and doing his job , Joe Biden released a new TV ad criticizing Trump for the move .
This prompted the easily-baited Trump to stage a complete meltdown on Sunday night about golf , which he said he did for “ exercise.

Ask anyone who plays golf and they ’ ll tell you that if you want to get exercise , you walk the course .
There ’ s no shame in riding around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you do it that way there ’ s very little exercise to be had ; all you ’ re doing is walking a very short distance to the tee and the green .
The video captured of Trump golfing this weekend clearly showed that he was driving himself around in a golf cart while playing .

” He did it for fun , and he ’ s lying about the reason .
Everyone is seeing right through it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the word “ exercise ” is now trending on Twitter .

If you want an idea of just how thoroughly George Conway has been able to get under Donald Trump’s skin, the last time Conway’s “Lincoln Project” released a new anti-Trump TV ad, Trump stayed up all night ranting about it, while insulting Conway’s physical appearance.
Now George Conway is dunking on Donald Trump again, this time over Trump’s ridiculous stunt of “donating” his presidential paycheck to the government, while simultaneously embezzling a far larger amount of money from the government:

The latest polling suggests that Donald Trump might only get three percent of the African American vote in 2020. That’s not surprising, considering how Trump has spoken and acted in such consistently racist fashion. But now Trump is trying out a weird new gambit to try to improve his poor standing with black voters.
Donald Trump is now trying to take credit for a bill that aimed at helping historically black colleges and universities. The thing is, he had very little to do with it. Congresswoman Alma Adams, the author of the legislation, promptly put Trump in his place:

I wrote that HBCU bill. You only signed it. https://t.co/rUNJRbbAjZ — Alma Adams (@AlmaforCongress) May 24, 2020

No, you idiot!

After seeing a segment on Fox News tonight about why schools should open , Donald Trump tweeted this : “ Schools in our country should be opened ASAP .
Much very good information now available.
” No .
Just no .
Trump , you ’ re an idiot .
Let ’ s count the ways .
1 ) Even though very few kids get sick from coronavirus , they ’ ll still pass it to each other , and take it home to their parents .
2 ) Teachers will get sick .
So will janitors , lunch ladies , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the school .
3 ) School is letting out for summer anyway , so why is this even an issue ?
Donald Trump has a school-age son , yet he appears to have no idea that the school year is ending .
This is a debate for when the new school year begins in the fall , not now .
4 ) Trump just gave away that after he spent the first part of the day golfing , he ’ s now spending the second part of the day watching cable news @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never even pretends to be doing the job for which he wasn ’ t legitimately elected to do .

palmerreport--2020-05-25--Donald Trump has psychotic meltdown about golf as everything falls apart for him

With the American death toll in the coronavirus crisis reaching the tragic 100,000 mark , and the pandemic still raging on , Donald Trump decided to show everyone how much he cares by… going golfing ?
Wait that can ’ t be right .
And yet Trump , one of the most narcissistically tone-deaf men alive , really did go golfing these past two days .
Joe Biden quickly seized on the moment , launching a campaign ad exposing Trump ’ s ridiculously selfish golf outing .
It ’ s clear that the ad touched a nerve , because tonight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he went on a completely psychotic bender about it : “ Sleepy Joe ’ s representatives have just put out an ad saying that I went to play golf ( exercise ) today .
They think I should stay in the White House at all times .
What they didn ’ t say is that it ’ s the first time I ’ ve played golf in almost 3 months , that Biden was constantly vacationing , relaxing & making shady deals with other countries , & that Barack was always playing golf @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a fume spewing 747 to play golf in Hawaii – Once even teeing off immediately after announcing the gruesome death of a great young man by ISIS !
” To be clear , none of this is accurate , and much of it is hallucinatory .
But as Donald Trump ’ s failed presidency continues to unravel , and as his reelection prospects continue to get uglier , Trump keeps doing very little to try to turn things around – and he ’ s also clearly losing what was left of his marbles @

palmerreport--2020-05-25--Donald Trump just admitted he knows he’s losing big

We ’ re still a long way away from election day .
Things can happen , and no lead is safe enough .
So we have to remain vigilant no matter what , and keep putting in the work on crucial things like voter registration and voter turnout .
But it couldn ’ t be much more clear that Donald Trump is losing badly right now .
In fact he just admitted as much .
Donald Trump just tweeted this surreal conspiracy theory about the election somehow being rigged against him : Trump then added “ The Democrats are trying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and simple !
” This is a dead giveaway that Trump knows he ’ s losing badly , or else he wouldn ’ t even be pushing this kind of idiotic narrative to try to explain things away when he loses ; he ’ ll try to rationalize to himself that he secretly won , so he doesn ’ t have to admit that he ’ s an unpopular failure .
Of course this is even more of a reason to run up the score and make sure Donald Trump loses by a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t be able to try to contest the election .
He wouldn ’ t succeed in doing so anyway , but why give him the opening ?

The United States cannot have all Mail In Ballots. It will be the greatest Rigged Election in history. People grab them from mailboxes, print thousands of forgeries and “force” people to sign. Also, forge names. Some absentee OK, when necessary. Trying to use Covid for this Scam! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 24, 2020

Trump then added “The Democrats are trying to Rig the 2020 Election, plain and simple!” This is a dead giveaway that Trump knows he’s losing badly, or else he wouldn’t even be pushing this kind of idiotic narrative to try to explain things away when he loses; he’ll try to rationalize to himself that he secretly won, so he doesn’t have to admit that he’s an unpopular failure.
Of course this is even more of a reason to run up the score and make sure Donald Trump loses by a large margin. That way he won’t be able to try to contest the election. He wouldn’t succeed in doing so anyway, but why give him the opening? Let’s make sure he loses big.

White House correspondent Brian Karem has famously gone toe to toe with the likes of Donald Trump and Sarah Huckabee Sanders during press briefings, asking probing questions and refusing to back down in the face of obfuscation or animosity. Now Karem is sticking it to Trump over the faux-president’s ridiculous new assertion.
Donald Trump is now spending his time playing golf during a pandemic, and whining like a baby about the criticism he’s facing over it. Brian Karem is having none of it:
Wait. You said if you were president you'd never have time to play golf because you'd be doing your job! @realDonaldTrump Defend. Deflect. Deny. "dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge." https://t.co/f62837XNyd — Brian J. Karem (@BrianKarem) May 25, 2020

AMERICAN FRAUD

Considering that Donald Trump has spent his life committing real estate fraud , bank fraud , mortgage fraud , tax fraud , and insurance , fraud , he ’ d be familiar with the word “ fraud.
” But after what we saw on display from Trump today , his mind may be too far gone to even remember what the word means .
In any case , Trump seems to think that this is an appropriate thing to tweet : Sean Parnell is an American Hero .
Connor Lamm has proven to be an American fraud , and a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said he would NOT vote for her for Speaker , and did .
Will kill 2A .
Voted to impeach ( on nothing ) .
A TOTAL & COMPLETE Sean Parnell Endorsement !
For starters , as a general rule , if you ’ re going to call someone a “ fraud ” then you probably shouldn ’ t try to make your case while spelling that person ’ s first and last names incorrectly .
His name is Conor Lamb not “ Connor Lamm.
” It ’ s also surreal that Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to call someone an “ American fraud ” – particularly considering Trump was impeached for criminally conspiring with a foreign government against the United States .

palmerreport--2020-05-25--Donald Trump’s latest “China Virus” meltdown isn’t exactly going over well

Early on , Donald Trump tried to distract from his negligent mishandling of the coronavirus by repeatedly referring to it as the “ China Virus.
” This was a blatant attempt at sowing racial discord , and it resulted in numerous hate crimes against Asian-Americans .
Then Trump suddenly stopped calling it that , and refrained from doing so for several weeks .
Now today Trump is back on his racism bender : Great reviews on our handling of Covid 19 , sometimes referred to as the China Virus .
Ventilators , Testing , Medical Supply Distribution , we made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – And got no credit for so doing .
Most importantly , we helped a lot of great people !
There are so many things wrong with this tweet , it ’ s difficult to know where to start .
First , “ China Virus ” is disgustingly racist .
Second , Trump is still treating this like it ’ s some kind of contest between him and the Governors .
Third , these “ reviews ” he ’ s bragging about don ’ t exist , and it ’ s horrifying that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they did exist .
Then there is the fact that today is Memorial Day , and the nation ’ s focus is supposed to be on the numerous soldiers who have died while protecting our freedom .
But Trump is ignoring that , while also ignoring the hundred thousand Americans who have died as a result of his coronavirus negligence .
We know everything is falling apart for Trump , but he must be really desperate to be circling back to the racist angle .
It ’ s always the first and last @ @ @ @

palmerreport--2020-05-25--Something has gone very wrong with Donald Trump’s health today

When Donald Trump showed up severely late to today ’ s Memorial Day ceremony without explanation , it raised questions as to what was going on .
Then once he finally did arrive , he had this weird posture and he couldn ’ t stop moving around – even during the parts of the ceremony where he was supposed to have been solemnly standing still .
So what ’ s going on here ?
Various observers have pointed out that Trump ’ s bizarre posture and complete inability to still himself are consistent with worsening senility .
Of course none @ @ @ @ @ @ @ won ’ t allow a legitimate doctor to get anywhere near him .
In fact , his physical , mental , and cognitive health have visibly been in steady decline ever since he was abruptly taken to Walter Reed Medical Center several months ago , for reasons that his staff bent over backward to cover up .
By the time Donald Trump gave his prepared speech today , it wasn ’ t surprising to hear him misread “ the hell they had to endure ” as “ they held they had to endure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ word “ held ” a few more times to try to cover up for the fact that he ’ d misspoken .
This comes after the footage of him golfing yesterday revealed that he was struggling mightily just to swing a club , as if he ’ d largely lost control of his body .
Trump is so far gone , he can ’ t read words off a screen anymore .
He can ’ t properly stand up or stand still anymore .
And his handlers can ’ t even get him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going on with this guy ’ s health ?
He appears to have entered mid stage dementia .
And yes , with Trump having so many different psychoses all along , it ’ s difficult to pin down .
The only thing we know for sure : whatever is wrong with Trump , it ’ s quickly getting worse .

palmerreport--2020-05-25--Donald Trump whines and cries like a baby as it all falls apart for him

However you want to characterize Donald Trump ’ s ongoing psychological and cognitive collapse , he ’ s reached the point where he publicly whines and cries like a baby – over the smallest of things – in embarrassingly self-pitying fashion .
It ’ s now clear that golf is the only thing that Trump has left in his life that he enjoys , and he ’ s really sad that he ’ s recently been deprived of it .
Trump tweeted this disturbing tantrum today : “ Some stories about the fact that in order to get outside and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I played golf over the weekend .
The Fake & Totally Corrupt News makes it sound like a mortal sin – I knew this would happen !
What they don ’ t say is that it was my first golf in almost 3 months and , if I waited 3 years , they would do their usual “ hit ” pieces anyway .
They are sick with hatred and dishonesty .
They are truly deranged !
” Trump then went on to spin a bizarre conspiracy theory involving President Obama , golf , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ISIS .
That kind of lunacy is we ’ ve come to expect from him .
But for the President of the United States to openly cry over having to go a couple months without playing golf – during a pandemic where a hundred thousand Americans have died and counting – is just embarrassing .
And yet as Donald Trump declines further in the cognitive department , there ’ s apparently no one around him who can stop him from tweeting this kind of self-defeating nonsense .
This really is embarrassing .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we ’ d feel bad over how he ’ s becoming such a shell of himself .

Today is Memorial Day, when we should be honoring those Americans who gave their lives in war to protect our nation and our freedom. Five time draft dodger Donald Trump spent the weekend golfing during a pandemic, then showed up embarrassingly late today for a wreath laying ceremony, and refused to wear a mask. Joe Biden took a very different approach.
Joe Biden ventured out of quarantine today for the first time in ten weeks so he could lay a wreath at the Delaware Memorial Bridge Veteran’s Memorial Park. As you can see from this brief video clip posted by CNN, Biden practiced proper social distancing, and he wore a mask:

In spite of his usual periodic gaffes , Joe Biden has generally run a smart 2020 campaign .
He figured out how to beat a large and highly talented Democratic primary field on a comparatively small budget .
He ’ s figured out how to maintain his lead over Donald Trump while he ’ s been stuck operating from his basement .
But this weekend may have been the real breakthrough for Biden .
When Donald Trump callously went golfing this weekend , while the U.S. coronavirus death toll was preparing to cross the hundred thousand mark , it set @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden and his campaign seized on it by immediately piecing together and releasing a new ad which condemned Trump for his golfing antics .
It worked so well , Trump ended up having a berserk meltdown about it on Sunday night .
This isn ’ t the first TV ad that ’ s gotten under Donald Trump ’ s skin .
We ’ ve seen the anti-Trump republicans from the Lincoln Project come up with ads that have had Trump up all night angrily ranting .
But this new golf ad is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden .
It means Biden has figured out how to push Trump ’ s buttons for a desired effect .
If Biden sticks with it , it ’ s going to come in handy as Trump continues to get more agitated and thus more easily manipulated .

This isn’t the first TV ad that’s gotten under Donald Trump’s skin. We’ve seen the anti-Trump republicans from the Lincoln Project come up with ads that have had Trump up all night angrily ranting. But this new golf ad is notable in that it came directly from Joe Biden. It means Biden has figured out how to push Trump’s buttons for a desired effect. If Biden sticks with it, it’s going to come in handy as Trump continues to get more agitated and thus more easily manipulated.
