palmerreport--2020-04-26--Told you Donald Trump’s HHS Secretary Alex Azar was a goner

When Donald Trump decided roughly a week ago to install his own loyalist puppet as the new HHS Secretary , Palmer Report spelled out that this was clearly the first step in laying the groundwork for pushing Azar out as a scapegoat .
Once the average American had no doubt that Trump ’ s response to the coronavirus was disastrous , he was going to need to blame one of his own people .
Now that Trump ’ s own performance during his press briefings has bottomed out in calamitous fashion , he and his regime are leaking that Alex @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being fired .
CNN says that Trump hasn ’ t made up his mind for sure yet .
But Trump has clearly signed off on leaking this story , which means he definitely wants to oust Azar , and he ’ s probably trying to work up the nerve to do it .
Trump has been extraordinarily wishy washy when it comes to deciding whether to pull the trigger on these things .
The timing can ’ t be ignored .
Donald Trump tweeted this evening that he ’ s giving up doing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the process .
He was harming himself with these bumbling briefings .
But now that he ’ s supposedly not going to be doing them anymore , he ’ ll have no real way to try to influence the media narrative .
If Trump goes through with firing Azar this weekend , he just might be able to get the media to focus on Azar ’ s failings instead of his own .
Of course there are documents that prove Azar tried to warn Trump about the coronavirus crisis early on , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this probably won ’ t go well for Trump either way .

When Donald Trump decided roughly a week ago to install his own loyalist puppet as the new HHS Secretary, Palmer Report spelled out that this was clearly the first step in laying the groundwork for pushing Azar out as a scapegoat. Once the average American had no doubt that Trump’s response to the coronavirus was disastrous, he was going to need to blame one of his own people.
Now that Trump’s own performance during his press briefings has bottomed out in calamitous fashion, he and his regime are leaking that Alex Azar is indeed on the verge of being fired. CNN says that Trump hasn’t made up his mind for sure yet. But Trump has clearly signed off on leaking this story, which means he definitely wants to oust Azar, and he’s probably trying to work up the nerve to do it. Trump has been extraordinarily wishy washy when it comes to deciding whether to pull the trigger on these things.
The timing can’t be ignored. Donald Trump tweeted this evening that he’s giving up doing press briefings, blaming the media in the process. He was harming himself with these bumbling briefings. But now that he’s supposedly not going to be doing them anymore, he’ll have no real way to try to influence the media narrative.
If Trump goes through with firing Azar this weekend, he just might be able to get the media to focus on Azar’s failings instead of his own. Of course there are documents that prove Azar tried to warn Trump about the coronavirus crisis early on, and that Trump refused to listen, so this probably won’t go well for Trump either way.

palmerreport--2020-04-26--What’s really going on with Kim Jong Un and North Korea

Amid rumors that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is ill , vegetative , dying , or dead , we have to be skeptical .
But first , I have a few things to say .
North Korea , or the Democratic People ’ s Republic of Korea ( an aside : a history teacher of mine once said “ No country with ‘ democratic ’ in its name is ever democratic ) , is a bizarre country .
I ’ ve been fascinated by it for years simply because it is a remarkable outlier in the global stage .
Here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Pyongyang , the DPRK ’ s capital , is and always has been a Potemkin city .
Most buildings are skeletons and what little evidence of “ normal ” life you see from photos taken in North Korea are frequently staged by the government , which will not let any foreigners tour the country without an official government guide .
For a brief period of time after the final drawing of the 38th Parallel in 1953 and creation of the Demilitarized Zone ( DMZ ) separating the Koreas , North Korea was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ South Korea ( the Republic of Korea , which is very much a democracy ) .
The Kim Il-sung regime looked poised to be a shining beacon of communism next to its poor , but free neighbor to the south , which was at the time led by an American ally named Syngman Rhee .
To keep it brief , things changed dramatically over the next half century .
North Korea , hoisted by its own communist petard , became the world ’ s most infamous nanny state , directly or indirectly killing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keep an iron-fisted grip on power .
Its economy hasn ’ t seen anything resembling success for half a century , and its people are deeply impoverished and have little to no concept of the world outside North Korea thanks to ubiquitous government indoctrination that starts at birth .
South Korea , during the same half century , has become one of the most technologically advanced and wealthy nations on earth .
Poor and largely irrelevant on the global stage , North Korea has developed a staggeringly unusual and dangerous way of showing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nuclear weapons capabilities .
Nuclear weapons are practically fetishized by North Korean leadership .
This has been of special concern of Americans because , since their civil war , the United States has been their number one enemy and logical first target in the event of a strike .
So what does all this history have to do with the Kim Jong-un death rumors ?
Well , simply put , from what I know about North Korea , rumors coming from them should be especially scrutinized .
For example , while farfetched , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if representatives from the DPRK announced the young Kim ’ s death , followed a few days later by an announcement that he resurrected because he ’ s magical .
In other words , an elaborate ruse to rile internal support for war .
You think that ’ s stupid ?
Check out this article about how myths have driven his nuclear plans .
Again , it ’ s farfetched , but then so is everything else about North Korea .
Bottom line : I couldn ’ t even guess on Kim ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ solid evidence that Kim Jong-un is ill or dead , be skeptical .

Amid rumors that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is ill, vegetative, dying, or dead, we have to be skeptical. But first, I have a few things to say. North Korea, or the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (an aside: a history teacher of mine once said “No country with ‘democratic’ in its name is ever democratic), is a bizarre country. I’ve been fascinated by it for years simply because it is a remarkable outlier in the global stage. Here’s a very quick history lesson.
Pyongyang, the DPRK’s capital, is and always has been a Potemkin city. Most buildings are skeletons and what little evidence of “normal” life you see from photos taken in North Korea are frequently staged by the government, which will not let any foreigners tour the country without an official government guide.
For a brief period of time after the final drawing of the 38th Parallel in 1953 and creation of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the Koreas, North Korea was actually doing a fair amount better than South Korea (the Republic of Korea, which is very much a democracy). The Kim Il-sung regime looked poised to be a shining beacon of communism next to its poor, but free neighbor to the south, which was at the time led by an American ally named Syngman Rhee.
To keep it brief, things changed dramatically over the next half century. North Korea, hoisted by its own communist petard, became the world’s most infamous nanny state, directly or indirectly killing untold numbers of its own people to keep an iron-fisted grip on power. Its economy hasn’t seen anything resembling success for half a century, and its people are deeply impoverished and have little to no concept of the world outside North Korea thanks to ubiquitous government indoctrination that starts at birth. South Korea, during the same half century, has become one of the most technologically advanced and wealthy nations on earth.
Poor and largely irrelevant on the global stage, North Korea has developed a staggeringly unusual and dangerous way of showing its regional hegemony — the threat of nuclear weapons capabilities. Nuclear weapons are practically fetishized by North Korean leadership. This has been of special concern of Americans because, since their civil war, the United States has been their number one enemy and logical first target in the event of a strike. So what does all this history have to do with the Kim Jong-un death rumors?
Well, simply put, from what I know about North Korea, rumors coming from them should be especially scrutinized. For example, while farfetched, I would not be at all surprised if representatives from the DPRK announced the young Kim’s death, followed a few days later by an announcement that he resurrected because he’s magical. In other words, an elaborate ruse to rile internal support for war. You think that’s stupid? Check out this article about how myths have driven his nuclear plans. Again, it’s farfetched, but then so is everything else about North Korea. Bottom line: I couldn’t even guess on Kim’s health status. Until we get solid evidence that Kim Jong-un is ill or dead, be skeptical.

palmerreport--2020-04-27--Kim Jong Un death watch saga takes a new twist

Yesterday a Japanese news outlet reported that Kim Jong Un was in a vegetative state .
The day before that , a Hong Kong news outlet reported that Kim was dead .
Before that , there were reports that Kim was in grave danger of dying after surgery , and that China had sent doctors to try to save him .
Now there ’ s a new twist .
An official in the South Korean government is now claiming that Kim Jong Un is “ alive and well.
” The thing is , this has to be at least half @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But under the circumstances , it ’ s all but impossible for Kim to be “ well.
” When you ’ re a vulnerable dictator obsessed with remaining in power , and the world is reporting that you ’ re dying or dead , you do everything you can to get back in front of the cameras as quickly as possible , before someone gets any ideas about overthrowing you .
For Kim to still be missing in action after this long , there are only two logical possibilities .
One is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put himself in front of the cameras .
The other possibility is that Kim – who has always been mentally deranged but well aware of what it takes to retain power – has completely snapped and no longer realizes or cares that he needs to get in front of the cameras .
The larger question here might be why the South Korean government is telling us that the North Korean dictator is “ alive and well.
” Has South Korea been fed disinformation , or is there something else going on behind the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being reported on this matter can be fully trusted .
We ’ ll find out eventually .

An official in the South Korean government is now claiming that Kim Jong Un is “alive and well.” The thing is, this has to be at least half wrong. He could certainly be alive. But under the circumstances, it’s all but impossible for Kim to be “well.” When you’re a vulnerable dictator obsessed with remaining in power, and the world is reporting that you’re dying or dead, you do everything you can to get back in front of the cameras as quickly as possible, before someone gets any ideas about overthrowing you.
For Kim to still be missing in action after this long, there are only two logical possibilities. One is that Kim is too physically ill to put himself in front of the cameras. The other possibility is that Kim – who has always been mentally deranged but well aware of what it takes to retain power – has completely snapped and no longer realizes or cares that he needs to get in front of the cameras.
The larger question here might be why the South Korean government is telling us that the North Korean dictator is “alive and well.” Has South Korea been fed disinformation, or is there something else going on behind the scenes? None of what’s being reported on this matter can be fully trusted. We’ll find out eventually.

palmerreport--2020-04-27--Donald Trump has no idea what’s even going on

When the news broke last night that Donald Trump was preparing to scapegoat and fire HHS Secretary Alex Azar , it was painfully clear that the leak had been planted in the media by Trump ’ s own team .
It ’ s the only place such a leak could have come from , and it had to have been intentional .
But based on a series of angry tweets about the leak today , Donald Trump seems almost genuinely offended that this would leak .
Yes , he ’ s lying every time he opens his mouth .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caught off guard by this leak , to the point that he seems to genuinely believe it ’ s fake .
Except , again , it could only have been leaked by the people closest to him .
This suggests that Donald Trump is now so far gone , his own handlers ( Pence , Stephen Miller , whoever is left ) are all but completely running the show on his behalf .
Moreover , they ’ re not even running their moves past Trump anymore .
One or more of his handlers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a desperate attempt at shifting the blame away from Trump , and put it into motion last night , without Trump even knowing .
Presumably the handler was planning to tell Trump about it after the fact .
Donald Trump appears to have almost no idea what ’ s going on inside his own administration .
That ’ s not surprising , considering his public behavior of late suggests that he ’ s sunk at last 50 % of the way into senility .
He ’ s no longer capable of calling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doing it for him .
But what happens when Trump realizes he ’ s no longer in charge ?
This could get ugly fast .

This suggests that Donald Trump is now so far gone, his own handlers (Pence, Stephen Miller, whoever is left) are all but completely running the show on his behalf. Moreover, they’re not even running their moves past Trump anymore. One or more of his handlers decided it was time to scapegoat Azar in a desperate attempt at shifting the blame away from Trump, and put it into motion last night, without Trump even knowing. Presumably the handler was planning to tell Trump about it after the fact.

palmerreport--2020-04-26--Donald Trump has found a whole new way to lose

Like any addict who feels clinically compelled to continue indulging his addiction until he completely bottoms out , Donald Trump had to feel the pain of his disinfectant meltdown before he finally realized he had to break off his addiction to the attention that he gets from his press briefings .
Now Trump is doing what so many addicts do once they ’ ve finally broken off a particular addiction : he ’ s indulging in a different addition .
In Trump ’ s case he ’ s gone from his attention-seeking press conference meltdowns , to his old habit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s tweets today include everything from a rant about a hamburger , to a meltdown about Pulitzer Prizes , which he thinks are Nobel Prizes , which he thinks are spelled Noble Prizes .
Trump is “ succeeding ” in grabbing everyone ’ s attention with these tweets , just as he was “ succeeding ” in getting everyone to tune in for his press briefings .
But as Donald Trump ’ s sinking approval numbers and poll numbers show , attention does not translate to votes .
In fact , Trump is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s costing him votes .
Like any addict , though , he ’ s wired to care more about getting attention than anything else – whatever it costs him .

palmerreport--2020-04-26--Donald Trump goes totally bonkers after everyone mocks him for Nobel/Noble screwup

Earlier today Donald Trump tweeted an apoplectic meltdown about the reporters who won Pulitzer Prizes for their reporting on his Russia scandal .
Because he ’ s half senile , he confused these Pulitzer Prizes with Nobel Prizes .
And because he ’ s illiterate , he called them “ Noble Prizes ” four times in a row .
Rather than just deleting the tweet and trying again , like he did with his illiterate “ hamberger ” meltdown earlier today , Trump is now insisting that “ Noble ” was somehow correct : Does anybody get the meaning of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) Prize is , especially as it pertains to Reporters and Journalists ?
Noble is defined as , “ having or showing fine personal qualities or high moral principles and ideals.
” Does sarcasm ever work ?
Wow .
This is pathetic even for him .
Trump is really trying to play the sarcasm card again ?
Didn ’ t he just swing and miss with that one after his disinfectant meltdown ?
Whatever was left of Trump ’ s brain has turned into jello .
By the end of the day he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the White House lawn .

palmerreport--2020-04-26--Something doesn’t add up about Donald Trump and Dr. Deborah Birx

Earlier this week Donald Trump asked Dr Deborah Birx about researching the injection of disinfectants into people to see if that might work against the coronavirus .
He had a board behind him that raised the issue of disinfectants as potential solutions to the crisis .
The look on Dr. Birx ’ s face was priceless .
Trump then claimed he was being sarcastic .
Trump then changed his story again , claiming he was directing the questions to a lab person and not Birx , given her horrified look .
But when Trump asked to answer , Birx gave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ altered in the White House transcript .
Rather than disavow his rantings as delusional and batshit crazy , however , Birx defended Trump once again , going on TV and saying this : “ When he gets new information , he likes to talk that through out loud and really have that dialogue — and so that ’ s what dialogue he was having .
I think he just saw the information at the time immediately before the press conference and he was still digesting that information.
” Something is going on here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ why Birx would sink to such nonsensical levels .
Birx is a world-renowned health official and former Army physician who gets good reviews for her career .
Now Trump has declared the press conferences are over .
It is all a mystery , but the father of the Birther Movement might have a new close sounding movement that must be solved as to what power he has over Birx and what is happening with Trump – the Birxer Movement .

When Fox News parrots Donald Trump ’ s lies , it ’ s not for the reason that some people think .

Today he posted this bizarre meltdown : Fox News just doesn ’ t get what ’ s happening !
They are being fed Democrat talking points , and they play @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forgot that Fake News CNN & MSDNC wouldn ’ t let Fox News participate , even a little bit , in the poor ratings Democrat Debates .

palmerreport--2020-04-26--This is low, even for Fox News

This is low, even for Fox News

Despite being warned about their reckless coverage of COVID-19 , the majority of Fox News pundits continued to make light of the threat , putting their own audiences at risk .
Now , even as the network is fearing the possibility of numerous lawsuits and while executives are rightfully growing concerned about the ramifications , host Laura Ingraham decided to try a different approach .
It ’ s not enough that her show has actively encouraged the protesters who want to re-open America prematurely , she decided to spend her Wednesday night show attacking CNN anchors not simply because of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were diagnosed with COVID-19 .
Chris Cuomo , who continued to stay on the air while sick and whose wife and son were subsequently diagnosed , faced Ingraham ’ s ridicule , as did his fellow anchors Brooke Baldwin and Richard Quest .
Her guest that night , Raymond Arroyo , somehow saw this as CNN ’ s way of boosting their ratings – making their anchors part of the pandemic story .
Ingraham somehow thought the idea that multiple people on the staff of a major network , with headquarters in several @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contagious and dangerous disease was too close to being a reality show – one that could be called , “ Are You Sicker Than A CNN Anchor ?
” This is beyond the pale , even for Fox News , which polluted the national conversation by making news stories all about ratings well before Donald Trump arrived on the scene .
It ’ s hard to say what they ’ re trying to accomplish by airing a segment like this – if it ’ s to further whip up a frenzy among Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ship is going down and intimidating their rivals is all they have left ?
Their derogatory comments followed a montage of CNN anchors condemning Fox for hyping hydroxychloroquine treatments – suggesting the network got what it deserved .
The worst traits that we find in Donald Trump – preference of ratings over human lives , can just as easily be found in the pundits of Fox .

It’s not enough that her show has actively encouraged the protesters who want to re-open America prematurely, she decided to spend her Wednesday night show attacking CNN anchors not simply because of their political views, but because they were diagnosed with COVID-19.
Chris Cuomo, who continued to stay on the air while sick and whose wife and son were subsequently diagnosed, faced Ingraham’s ridicule, as did his fellow anchors Brooke Baldwin and Richard Quest. Her guest that night, Raymond Arroyo, somehow saw this as CNN’s way of boosting their ratings – making their anchors part of the pandemic story. Ingraham somehow thought the idea that multiple people on the staff of a major network, with headquarters in several large U.S. cities could contract a highly contagious and dangerous disease was too close to being a reality show – one that could be called, “Are You Sicker Than A CNN Anchor?”
This is beyond the pale, even for Fox News, which polluted the national conversation by making news stories all about ratings well before Donald Trump arrived on the scene. It’s hard to say what they’re trying to accomplish by airing a segment like this – if it’s to further whip up a frenzy among Trump’s base because they sense the ship is going down and intimidating their rivals is all they have left? Their derogatory comments followed a montage of CNN anchors condemning Fox for hyping hydroxychloroquine treatments – suggesting the network got what it deserved. The worst traits that we find in Donald Trump – preference of ratings over human lives, can just as easily be found in the pundits of Fox.

palmerreport--2020-04-26--Everyone piles on as illiterate Donald Trump goes berserk about “Noble Prizes”

Donald Trump is having a bad day today .
He ’ s screwed up his press briefings so badly , he ’ s had to stop holding them .
He hasn ’ t been able to golf or hold rallies for some time now .
He ’ s stuck home alone , with a pathetic existence and a failing presidency , and nothing left but his infamous Twitter account .
You can guess how this went .
Also , he ’ s illiterate and he ’ s an idiot , which doesn ’ t help his cause .
It was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ posting an illiterate rant about a “ hamberger ” before deleting it .
He then decided to tackle the trickier topic of Pulitzer Prizes , which he now thinks are Nobel Prizes .
Or as Trump thinks they ’ re called , “ Noble Prizes.
” Trump tweeted this : When will all of the “ reporters ” who have received Noble Prizes for their work on Russia , Russia , Russia , only to have been proven totally wrong ( and , in fact , it was the other side who committed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their cherished “ Nobles ” so that they can be given to the REAL REPORTERS & JOURNALISTS who got it right .
I can give the Committee a very comprehensive list .
When will the Noble Committee DEMAND the Prizes back , especially since they were gotten under fraud ?
The reporters and Lamestream Media knew the truth all along Lawsuits should be brought against all , including the Fake News Organizations , to rectify this terrible injustice .
For all of the great lawyers out there , do we have any takers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Better be fast !
Not only is Trump threatening retaliation against the reporters who won the Nobel Prizes , he also appears to be threatening the Nobel Committee .
Wait til he finds out there are five separate Nobel Committees .
Also , wait til he finds out it ’ s not a “ Noble Prize.
” He ’ s going to be really upset when he finds out journalists win the Pulitzer Prize , not the Nobel Prize or the Noble Prize .
This guy is totally , totally losing it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over .

He’s stuck home alone, with a pathetic existence and a failing presidency, and nothing left but his infamous Twitter account. You can guess how this went. Also, he’s illiterate and he’s an idiot, which doesn’t help his cause.
It was bad enough that Trump had just finished posting an illiterate rant about a “hamberger” before deleting it. He then decided to tackle the trickier topic of Pulitzer Prizes, which he now thinks are Nobel Prizes. Or as Trump thinks they’re called, “Noble Prizes.” Trump tweeted this:
When will all of the “reporters” who have received Noble Prizes for their work on Russia, Russia, Russia, only to have been proven totally wrong (and, in fact, it was the other side who committed the crimes), be turning back their cherished “Nobles” so that they can be given to the REAL REPORTERS & JOURNALISTS who got it right. I can give the Committee a very comprehensive list. When will the Noble Committee DEMAND the Prizes back, especially since they were gotten under fraud? The reporters and Lamestream Media knew the truth all along Lawsuits should be brought against all, including the Fake News Organizations, to rectify this terrible injustice. For all of the great lawyers out there, do we have any takers? When will the Noble Committee Act? Better be fast!
Not only is Trump threatening retaliation against the reporters who won the Nobel Prizes, he also appears to be threatening the Nobel Committee. Wait til he finds out there are five separate Nobel Committees. Also, wait til he finds out it’s not a “Noble Prize.” He’s going to be really upset when he finds out journalists win the Pulitzer Prize, not the Nobel Prize or the Noble Prize. This guy is totally, totally losing it – and the day is barely half over.

palmerreport--2020-04-26--Donald Trump has completely insane meltdown about angrily eating a hamburger, deletes it

Last night Palmer Report predicted that Donald Trump would end up having his biggest Twitter meltdown yet today , now that he knows he can ’ t hold press briefings anymore .
It took him awhile to get going , but sure enough , Trump is on a rampage for the ages – and it ’ s going so haywire , he ’ s already being forced to delete it and try again .
Trump tweeted this bizarre rant : “ I work from early in the morning until late at night , haven ’ t left the White House @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hospital Ship Comfort ) in order to take care of Trade Deals , Military Rebuilding etc.
, and then I read a phony story in the failing @ nytimes about my work schedule and eating habits , written by a third rate reporter who knows nothing about me .
I will often be in the Oval Office late into the night & read & see that I am angrily eating a hamburger & Diet Coke in my bedroom .
People with me are always stunned .
Anything to demean !
” Well , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first time around he spelled it “ hamberger ” and had to delete it and try again .
This comes after he spelled it “ hamberder ” several months ago .
How many ways are there to misspell hamburger ?
And why is the President of the United States tweeting the phrase “ I am angrily eating a hamburger & Diet Coke in my bedroom ” in any context ?
This guy needs help .

Trump tweeted this bizarre rant: “I work from early in the morning until late at night, haven’t left the White House in many months (except to launch Hospital Ship Comfort) in order to take care of Trade Deals, Military Rebuilding etc., and then I read a phony story in the failing @nytimes about my work schedule and eating habits, written by a third rate reporter who knows nothing about me. I will often be in the Oval Office late into the night & read & see that I am angrily eating a hamburger & Diet Coke in my bedroom. People with me are always stunned. Anything to demean!”
Well, that was his second attempt. The first time around he spelled it “hamberger” and had to delete it and try again. This comes after he spelled it “hamberder” several months ago. How many ways are there to misspell hamburger? And why is the President of the United States tweeting the phrase “I am angrily eating a hamburger & Diet Coke in my bedroom” in any context?

Donald Trump is going down in flames

Try as they might , “ president ” Trump ’ s allies and aides can not get him to stop promoting his worst enemy , himself .
He apparently can ’ t help himself .
He sees himself as his best promoter , trying to outshine the medical experts on his team , using ridiculous claims about “ cures.
” He has moved from hydroxychloroquine to household disinfectants .
The rest of us just shake our heads and wonder what ignorant , dangerous thing Trump will say next .
He is , of course , now claiming he was being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cure , but who can believe him when he turns right around and says sunlight will kill the virus ?
He is pathetic .
Even as Trump works to kill his chances at reelection , the RNC is throwing money at voter outreach , especially in the swing states .
They hope to help other Republicans running in these districts as well , but they are not looking at the big picture , which is Trump ’ s nightmarish handling of the coronavirus .
Trump needs older voters , and as he spirals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suggestions , the more he is losing them .
Trump would be so much better off keeping his mouth closed and standing behind the health experts , allowing them to provide the information we all so desperately want and need .
Politico warns that even Trump ’ s aides believe he is giving “ too much Donald Trump.
” Trump ’ s campaign aides are scrambling in the wake of the coronavirus .
Not only is Trump spending too much time on television spewing nonsense , but the virus is wrecking the economy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hoped to hang his hat for reelection .
Trump ’ s insistence on leading the coronavirus briefings has been devastating for him according to current polling .
Politico reported that Trump ’ s aides have been somewhat successful in getting Trump to shorten his appearances , as his last briefing lasted 20 minutes instead of the hours in which he droned on about nothing , insulted opponents , and gave out advice that disinfectants and the sun can help with coronavirus .
The only place disinfectants belong is on your kitchen counter , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Already , there have been reports of people injuring themselves by following this completely ridiculous advice .
Trump ’ s own surgeon general tweeted following Trump ’ s “ advice ” with a warning to consult medical professionals prior to trying any remedies , and now , Lysol has issued warnings that their product is not for human consumption , as reported by NBC News .
Trump is not just some “ loose cannon.
” He has always been a danger to our country .
His dangerousness now holds the potential of being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want to support this inherent danger and keep it in the White House to the detriment of millions of Americans , but as Politico points out , many of them have hitched their wagon to Trump and have no choice but to maintain their status quo .
In a way , that ’ s a good thing .
Now they can all go down in flames .

This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the most evil and destructive and exclusively human trait on the planet .
Greed — greed for money , greed for power , greed for status — is what drives the sickness known as the worldwide conservative movement and the Republican Party .

Greed is what causes Trump to encourage them .
Greed is what causes governors in red states to reopen their states @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is going to , paradoxically , cause the pandemic to be far worse than what it would have been otherwise .

palmerreport--2020-04-26--Donald Trump just got hit with some really bad news

When Donald Trump ran for President against Hillary Clinton in 2016 , a sizeable contingency of voters didn ’ t know what to do .
These voters feared that either a Trump or Clinton presidency would spell disaster , and so they believed they had a choice of two options .
Either they could pick the lesser of two evils or they could simply stay home on Election Day .
These voters , known as “ double haters , ” are back in 2020 , and it looks like they ’ re preferring Joe Biden .
In 2016 , both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ double haters , who appeared to lean Republican and waffle in their support for a while .
This changed in late October , when former FBI Director James Comey announced his agency was reopening the investigation into Clinton ’ s emails , according to Joshua Green of Bloomberg Businessweek .
“ Immediately , the double haters made up their minds and started moving en masse toward Trump , ” he explained .
When a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll came out this week showing Biden leading Trump by 49 % to 42 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ data on respondents who disliked Trump and Biden ( the double haters of 2020 ) .
The results were astonishing : Biden is beating Trump among the double haters by 60 % to 10 % .
Although the campaign is still early and this is one poll , a Republican close to the Trump campaign told Green that this development “ is pretty concerning and frankly shocking.
” Green also believes that if Biden managed to hold this 50-point lead heading into the fall , “ Trump is probably toast.
” Whether Joe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liked the most , the one you now hate the least , or something in between , American democracy needs your vote this November .
In the last election , we could only imagine what a Trump or Clinton presidency would look like .
This time is different .
Trump has been President for more than a few years , and he has left a legacy of misery , disease , death , hatred , and fascism .
Trump ’ s presidency has proven so destructive and pathetic that it ’ s no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reason to double down on Biden .

These voters, known as “double haters,” are back in 2020, and it looks like they’re preferring Joe Biden.
In 2016, both the Trump and Clinton campaigns tracked the double haters, who appeared to lean Republican and waffle in their support for a while. This changed in late October, when former FBI Director James Comey announced his agency was reopening the investigation into Clinton’s emails, according to Joshua Green of Bloomberg Businessweek. “Immediately, the double haters made up their minds and started moving en masse toward Trump,” he explained.
When a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll came out this week showing Biden leading Trump by 49% to 42% among registered voters, Green analyzed data on respondents who disliked Trump and Biden (the double haters of 2020). The results were astonishing: Biden is beating Trump among the double haters by 60% to 10%.
Although the campaign is still early and this is one poll, a Republican close to the Trump campaign told Green that this development “is pretty concerning and frankly shocking.” Green also believes that if Biden managed to hold this 50-point lead heading into the fall, “Trump is probably toast.”
Whether Joe Biden has been the candidate you have liked the most, the one you now hate the least, or something in between, American democracy needs your vote this November. In the last election, we could only imagine what a Trump or Clinton presidency would look like. This time is different. Trump has been President for more than a few years, and he has left a legacy of misery, disease, death, hatred, and fascism. Trump’s presidency has proven so destructive and pathetic that it’s no mystery why even double haters have every reason to double down on Biden.

palmerreport--2020-04-27--Joe Biden just beat Donald Trump at his own game

Donald Trump ran a highly ineffective 2016 campaign , visited the wrong states , chose messages that failed to expand his base , and was on track to lose badly before he was accidentally bailed out by Comey ’ s last minute letter .
So let ’ s not make the mistake of thinking that Trump knows what he ’ s doing in 2020 , or that his favorite tactics are in any way effective .
To that end , Donald Trump still insists on putting himself at the center of political attention , whether it be positive or negative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his malignant narcissism means he ’ s clinically addicted to seeking attention .
Part of it is because he seems to actually believe that whoever gets the most “ likes ” on Twitter will win the election .
That brings us to Joe Biden ’ s tweet from Friday : That ’ s right , Joe Biden ’ s tweet making fun of Donald Trump ’ s idiocy already has 1.5 million likes in just two days .
We ’ re still digging , but we haven ’ t been able to find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ever gotten this many likes .
In fact Biden ’ s tweet is on track to become one of the most-liked tweets in history .
Again , tweets and likes don ’ t win elections .
Voter registration and voter turnout do .
But Biden is now beating Trump at his own game .

That’s right, Joe Biden’s tweet making fun of Donald Trump’s idiocy already has 1.5 million likes in just two days. We’re still digging, but we haven’t been able to find a single Trump tweet that’s ever gotten this many likes. In fact Biden’s tweet is on track to become one of the most-liked tweets in history.

palmerreport--2020-04-27--What little was left of Donald Trump’s mind just dissolved into jello

Last night Palmer Report warned you that we were likely to see Donald Trump ’ s most whacked out Twitter meltdown ever today .
He ’ s had to give up on his press briefings because his increasingly demented behavior was ruining what little chance he had left at reelection .
Now he has nothing left but Twitter – and he ’ s using it to prove that he has nothing left upstairs at all .
Donald Trump just retweeted an obviously fake video of Joe Biden sticking his tongue out .
We ’ ve now reached that stage of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ angrily eating a hamburger/hamberger ” thing was bad .
The “ Noble/Nobel ” thing was worse .
We thought he was done for when he started talking to himself .
But now with the tongue thing… there ’ s nothing left of this guy , is there ?

Now he has nothing left but Twitter – and he’s using it to prove that he has nothing left upstairs at all.
Donald Trump just retweeted an obviously fake video of Joe Biden sticking his tongue out. We’ve now reached that stage of Trump’s psychological collapse. The “angrily eating a hamburger/hamberger” thing was bad. The “Noble/Nobel” thing was worse. We thought he was done for when he started talking to himself. But now with the tongue thing… there’s nothing left of this guy, is there?
What little was left of Donald Trump’s mind has dissolved into jello. If his kids cared about him at all, they’d be trying to convince him to resign right now, and try to work out a resignation plea deal centered around mental defect.

That’s right. Donald Trump had a meltdown about angrily eating a hamburger and had to delete it because he misspelled “hamburger.” Then he had a meltdown about Pulitzer Prizes, which he mistook for Nobel Prizes and misspelled as “Noble Prizes.” Then he tried to claim the entire thing was “sarcasm.” When that didn’t work, he deleted his “Noble” tweets too.

Donald Trump is now talking to himself:
.
Wait, what? Trump just replied to one of his older tweets and said that he agrees with it. He’s agreeing with himself. He’s literally talking to himself. Has he forgotten his own name? Does he think he’s talking to some other Donald Trump?
The other day Trump tried to convince us that he was talking to some other “Deborah” when he asked Dr. Birx about injecting disinfectant into people. Then he tried to write it off as sarcasm. When someone points out to him that he’s now talking to himself on Twitter, will he claim that’s just sarcasm too?

Trump seems to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knows a secret that we all wish we knew .
In reality it ’ s just a reminder of how profoundly creepy and deranged Trump is .
It ’ s one thing for the President to keep a secret for national security reasons .
It ’ s another to taunt everyone because he knows the answer and they don ’ t .
Further , we all know that Donald Trump lies constantly , so there ’ s no reason to believe him when he says he knows what ’ s really going on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ U.S. intel has learned of Kim ’ s fate , Trump has never believed anything that the U.S. intel community has told him anyway .
Our guess is that Donald Trump is just taunting us with nothing , so that whatever ends up being the story with Kim Jong Un , Trump can then claim that he already knew about it .
These two sacks of crap deserve each other .

In response to the question about whether Kim Jong Un was alive or dead, Donald Trump bragged that he knows what’s going on, but he’s not going to tell us yet. Trump seems to think he’s special because he knows a secret that we all wish we knew. In reality it’s just a reminder of how profoundly creepy and deranged Trump is.

Trump’s propaganda network OAN asked an unintentionally hilarious question about the prospect of Donald Trump somehow rehiring convicted traitor Michael Flynn to work at the White House. Even Trump didn’t seem to know what to do with that one. When a serious reporter asked Trump about his Lysol meltdown, Trump have one of the shortest and most tepid answers he’s ever given, making clear how afraid he still is of the topic.
I don’t even know what I just watched. It was the same old garbage press briefing, just with a bunch of retail CEOs on stage for absolutely no reason, and with an even more deranged Donald Trump. He’s unraveling even more quickly than ever.

Donald Trump is trying to behave in respectable fashion during his press briefing today, but it’s only serving as a reminder that he’s not capable of mimicking sane behavior. Trump almost held it together during the scripted part of his propaganda fest, but then he fell apart when he began answering questions.
At one point Donald Trump was ranting about Nancy Pelosi dancing around in Chinatown. Then, after a question about how displeased some of the governors are with him, Trump randomly accused the reporters in the audience of having hacked in and spied on his recent phone call with governors. There was no context at all for Trump’s accusation, beyond the fact that he’s a deranged psychopath and he’s stupid.
