What is this idiot Donald Trump even talking about?

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.

Last week, Democratic leaders visited Donald Trump’s immigrant concentration camps in an effort to investigate the horrid conditions and bring attention to the atrocities being committed. It took Trump a minute to get wind of the whole thing, presumably because he was too busy tweeting racist things. Once Trump finally responded, let’s just say that we can’t even figure out what he thinks he’s talking about.

For reference, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer posted this about his visit: “The Senate Democrats and I pushed Border Patrol leadership hard. Overcrowding. Migrants without the help they need. It doesn’t have to be this way. These are decisions from the top of the Trump admin. We must pass our bill to help end it—the Stop Cruelty to Migrant Children Act.”

Instead of responding like an adult, or even like a coherent person, Donald Trump decided to announce that it was a “GREAT thing” that Schumer went to the border. Trump then went on to massively overstate a skirmish between immigrants and Border Patrol agents. Then Trump posted this semi-random collection of words: “Based on the comments made by Senator Schumer, he must have seen how dangerous & bad for our Country the Border is. It is not a ‘manufactured crisis,’ as the Fake News Media & their Democrat partners tried to portray. He said he wants to meet. I will set up a meeting ASAP!”

The last time Donald Trump met with Democratic leadership, he stormed out of the room and then threw a tantrum on the White House lawn. The time before that, he got baited into publicly taking credit for his government shutdown. We’re hoping this meeting happens, both because it’ll draw attention to Trump’s evil concentration camps, and because Trump will likely blow it in such a manner that he may have to end up backing down.
