Donald Trump is a defeated whiner

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.

Donald Trump shares so many traits with the most evil world leaders in history, it’s disturbing to even think about it. But, fortunately, for the rest of us, there may be one thing that definitively sets Trump apart from his evil historical counterparts: he’s a loser. No, seriously, Trump has a loser’s mindset, and it permeates everything he says and does. We’re seeing it more blatantly this week than ever.

This week we learned that when the FBI became aware of the Trump campaign’s treasonous activities during the election, it sent a U.S. intel asset to talk with various members of the campaign, in an attempt at parsing what was really going on. Considering the evidence that the campaign was committing serious crimes, this was standard law enforcement procedure, and the FBI is totally in the clear. Your average evil dictator would respond to this kind of revelation by making fierce and definitive moves against the FBI, the agents involved, and everyone who was even remotely involved in the attempt at exposing his crimes. But not Trump.

No, Donald Trump is taking a different approach: he’s whining about it. He’s decided that the best way to respond to this revelation is to try to complain it to death. In his latest Twitter meltdown, he called it “a really big deal.” So what? Yes, he has this feeble plot aimed at exposing the identity of the asset, in the hope that someone just might come along and kill the asset. But that’s just plain weak.

Donald Trump is endlessly whining publicly about a situation he doesn’t like, because he doesn’t have the strength or the brains or the evil gumption to figure out how to shift the situation in his favor. It’s a loser’s mindset. It means he thinks he’s already lost, which means he has in fact already lost.
