Donald Trump accidentally endorses some guy in Canada instead of House GOP candidate, deletes it

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 clearly isn’t playing with a full deck when it comes to his routinely sociopathic and increasingly psychotic rhetoric. But Trump isn’t playing with a full deck when it comes to his cognitive competence either. He and his staff are also notoriously sloppy and incompetent. But tonight Trump and/or his handlers managed to botch things on a level that was unusual even for them.

Trump posted this tweet tonight: “@Troy_Balderson is doing a great job as Congressman from Ohio. We need him in D.C. Vote for Troy – He has my total Endorsement!” That would be standard fare, except it was his second attempt at the endorsement. Trump’s first tweet tagged the @troybalderson account instead, which belongs to some random guy in British Columbia, Canada who has 118 followers. Trump ended up deleting the first attempt, but not before a huge number of responses were sent to the guy in Canada.

Frankly, considering the abhorrent record of GOP Congressman Troy Balderson, we suspect the “Troy Balderson” in Canada would do a better job. But if you’re looking for someone to support in this race who’s actually running in it, you might want to take a look at Democratic candidate Danny O’Connor. He’s just two points behind in the latest polling averages, putting him within the margin of error. You can find O’Connor’s Twitter account here.
