It looks like Donald Trump is just going to keep giving coronavirus speeches until he finally gets one right. First he failed in lethargic and barely-there fashion with his half dead Oval Office address. Then he failed with a lengthy and at times celebratory Rose Garden press conference. Today he decided to hold a very rare press briefing in the White House briefing room. It didn’t go any better.

Not only is Donald Trump thoroughly botching his response to the nationwide and worldwide coronavirus crisis, he’s botching his response to the fact that he himself has been exposed to the virus. Trump and his doctor can’t get their stories straight about whether he needs to be tested, or whether he has been tested. Today, NBC News reporter Kelly O’Donnell put him on the spot about it.

In response, Donald Trump did what he always does when he gets flustered: he acted like a rambling idiot, giving an incoherent explanation for why he shook hands with multiple people yesterday despite having been exposed to the coronavirus.

Trump also did what he always does when a woman stands up to him: he condescendingly told Kelly O’Donnell to “relax.” We’re surprised the prick didn’t tell her to “smile” while he was at it. This comes one day after Trump accused PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor of having asked a “nasty question.” This guy’s sexism and racism are getting even more blatant as it all falls apart for him.

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.
