Donald Trump stunned into silence

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.

The entire time Donald Trump was losing his second trial to E. Jean Carroll, he kept attacking her on his own social network. All that did was help ensure that the damages ended up being massive. Now Trump is stuck wondering tonight how he’s going to come up with $83.3 million dollars.

Interestingly enough, Trump has also gone silent. Sure, he made one post (perhaps written by one of his underlings) saying that he disagreed with the verdict and that he would appeal, without actually attacking Carroll. Since that time Trump’s Truth Social account has merely seen a bunch of posts (surely from his underlings) about what a political genius he surely is.

Thus far – and it’s not quite yet midnight – Trump has been stunned into silence when it comes to his longtime attacks on E. Jean Carroll. Has this massive verdict finally worn him down? Did his handlers take his account away from him? Is he passed out face down in a bowl of Cheeto dust?

Remember, if Trump decides to keep attacking Carroll, it’s just going to cost him even more money. Carroll can easily circle back for additional damages and sanctions if Trump can’t stop himself. But for now, Trump appears to have gone dormant.
