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.

Donald Trump’s White House Rose Garden press conference this afternoon was an embarrassment for the ages. Trump rambled offensively and incoherently, sounded like he was near death, and seemed to be just trying to take everyone down with him. Trump’s nemesis, CNN correspondent Jim Acosta, destroyed Trump for it.

Acosta tweeted this about the Rose Garden debacle: “Trump soiled the WH Rose Garden with that performance. Presidents do not use the Rose Garden in that kind of naked political fashion. That was not a press conference, as the WH described it. It was a campaign rally disguised as a press conference. It was a bait and switch.”

The feedback to Trump’s press conference has been nearly all negative. Even Bret Baier of Fox News pointed out that if President Obama had ever given a Rose Garden speech that deranged, republicans would have been all over him for it. Others pointed out that Trump’s disastrous press briefing was unwittingly a de facto TV commercial for the Joe Biden campaign.
