Donald Trump already appears to be hemorrhaging voters over his campaign’s attack on Puerto Rico and his own escalating attacks on women (to say nothing of Mike Johnson’s attack today on the CHIPS Act). Now Trump has managed to step in it again, attacking Kamala Harris over her race and then … how can we say this … declaring his own whiteness in exact words.

During his rally speech today Trump had a meltdown about Kamala Harris being “Black or Indian” and then immediately announced that he has “beautiful white skin.” No really, he said this. It’s par for the course for Trump, who has long been disgustingly openly racist. But to get up three days before the election and announce that he has “white skin” after pointing out that his opponent isn’t white? This is on the nose even for him.

So we can now add this remark to the pile of stupid self-defeating things that Trump and his people keep saying down the stretch. This kind of insanity sure does seem to be turning the momentum in Kamala’s favor. So if Trump wants to keep running his mouth these final few days, please proceed.

Once we finish winning this election, I'm going to find a way to build Palmer Report into the kind of juggernaut that can either scare the major media outlets into being more honest or just flat out put them out of business. I'm asking you to make one big final push right now so we can come out of this election ready to take over the political media scape. Help me fully fund this before election day so we can do this right.
