Donald Trump just found a whole new way to humiliate himself

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.

Just how pathetic is Donald Trump? He’s the “President” of the United States, and he’s still an insecure loser. Trump is negatively obsessed with President Obama, to the point that he’s tried to blame all of his scandals on Obama, and he’s tried to undo every one of Obama’s accomplishments. Now Trump pulled off a humiliating reversal.

When President Obama first took office, the official unemployment rate was at about 8%, but it quickly surged to 10%, meaning Obama essentially inherited a 10% unemployment rate. By the time Obama left office, he’d gotten the unemployment rate down to about 4%. Donald Trump inherited that 4% unemployment rate, and as of today it’s risen to 10%.

Considering that Trump’s negligent and dishonest handling of the coronavirus crisis directly led to the lockdowns and shutdowns that tanked the economy, Trump is entirely responsible for the unemployment rate going from 4% to 10%. But hey, congrats to Trump on managing to reverse yet another Obama policy.
