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.

Earlier this week we all got a sneak peek at Donald Trump’s stunning new interview with ABC News, in which he confessed that he intends to illegally seek the help of foreign governments again in the 2020 election. Now the entire interview has aired, and let’s just say that it’s a treasure trove of toxic waste.

For instance, at one point Donald Trump was trying to convince ABC News interviewer George Stephanopoulos that he actually wants his financial records to be made public, because of how “fantastic” they are. This, of course, comes even as Trump is suing several of his own financial institutions in court to try to stop them from releasing his records. But during this exchange, something happened that triggered Trump on an almost astounding level: someone coughed.

“Let’s do that over, he’s coughing in the middle of my answer,” Donald Trump said to Stephanopoulos. Trump continued: “I don’t like that … If you’re going to cough, please leave the room. You just can’t… you just can’t cough. Boy oh boy.” In fairness, if someone feels the urge to cough while a television interview is taking place, they should leave the room. But this minor infraction goes to show just how rattled, irritated, and unhinged Trump has become.
