It’s been nearly twelve hours since the first televised House impeachment hearing began, and several hours since it wrapped up for the day, and Donald Trump still hasn’t said anything about it. Maybe that’s because, before the whole thing started, he insisted that he wasn’t going to watch it, because – ahem – he had other things to do.

No one believes that Donald Trump didn’t actually watch the hearings, of course. He’s far too narcissistic not to watch his own impeachment hearings, whether they be good or bad for him. And he’s far too insecure to go do ‘other things’ while two respected State Department veterans spelled out his crimes for all to hear. Also, Trump doesn’t do ‘other things.’ This is a guy who spends most of his time watching Fox News, and even Fox News was covering the impeachment hearing today, so it’s not as if he could avoid it.

That means Donald Trump watched his own impeachment today, and he has absolutely nothing to say about it. If he thought it went well for him, he’d be crowing about it on Twitter. If he thought it wasn’t quite going his way, he’d be whining about it on Twitter. Based on how he tends to handle these kinds of things, it’s fair to interpret his silence as a form of pouting.

Donald Trump has no idea how to respond to what he just watched, or he’s afraid to come out swinging in the ways he’d like to. After all, these two witnesses were absolutely stellar today, with no obvious vulnerabilities to attack them for. What’s he going to do, attack George Kent’s bowtie? Besides, most people liked the bowtie. Maybe Trump will explode in a ball of rage later tonight. But for now, he’s pouting.

It's been a tough week, a tough month, a tough year. For all of us. But the fight goes on. Because we know how important this is. Because we care. Because we're the ones who fight. It's you and me. It has been for a decade. And I'm never backing down. But Palmer Report does have operating expenses. And in this uncertain time, I truly need your help. For that reason I've launched the Palmer Report 2025 Operating Expenses Fund. If we can fully fund this, it'll bridge the gap and ensure that Palmer Report can keep fighting now and forever. I'm asking you to contribute what you can to our GoFundMe Page or our PayPal Page, both of which accept debit and credit cards. Thank you.
