Donald Trump throws a complete tantrum after his Minnesota rally gets ruined

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.

Earlier this week we brought you the story of how Donald Trump’s planned 6,000 person rally in Rochester, Minnesota got derailed when the venue failed to file a proper COVID safety plan with the state. In response Minnesota’s Attorney General asked the Trump campaign not to use the venue, and Trump ended up moving the rally to a mere 250 capacity venue.

Trump apparently got bored speaking to such a small audience, because he bailed after speaking for barely twenty minutes. He then posted this angry and inaccurate tweet: “Your far-left Dem Attorney General, and your Dem Governor tried to shut down our rally, silence the people of Minnesota, and take away your freedom of assembly. They thought we would cancel – but I said NO WAY, I will NEVER abandon the people of Minnesota!”

What stands out here is that once Donald Trump realized he wasn’t going to get the ego rush of addressing a large crowd, he mailed it in with what was a very brief speech by his standards. In other words, these rallies aren’t even really about trying to win; they’re just the last chance he’ll ever get to stroke his ego on this kind of scale if he loses the election.
