Donald Trump’s “tech week” is even more of a dumpster fire than “infrastructure week”

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

At the beginning of last week, the Donald Trump administration announced it was “infrastructure week” but the thing ended up largely consisting of Trump getting into a feud with the Mayor of London and hiring a personal attorney who incorrectly referred to Trump as the predisent in a press release. At the beginning of this week, the Trump team announced it was “tech week” but things have turned out to be even more of an off-topic disaster.

Here we are on Saturday morning, with the week being over as far as Donald Trump is concerned, as he’s likely at a golf resort by now. So what did “tech week” bring us? Suffice it to say that tech week has about as much tech as infrastructure week had infrastructure. The previous five days have seen Trump finally admitting that he never had any secret tapes of former FBI Director James Comey, and finally admitting that Russia rigged the election in his favor. Trump also flew to Iowa and rambled incoherently about wanting to live on a farm, while demonstrating an incorrect understanding of how wind works.

Of course much of “tech week” was doomed before it started, because Trump used the final day of “infrastructure week” to blurt out on Twitter that “I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director” – only to bring in yet another attorney this past week to go on television and have an argument with himself about whether or not Trump was really under investigation.

In the end Donald Trump’s “tech week” wasn’t a failure because it didn’t achieve its goals, but rather because it didn’t exist. Fox News host Chris Wallace, of all people ended up speaking for all of us when he said to Trump’s self contradicting attorney “Oh boy, this is weird.” Perhaps we’ll get lucky and Trump will decide that next week is “resignation week.” If you’re a regular reader, feel free to support Palmer Report.
