Donald Trump just admitted he’s guilty

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.

Here’s something we didn’t see coming, and it’s a sign of just how erratic, frantic, confused and sloppy Donald Trump is becoming. Politico is reporting that Donald Trump has admitted that he bears responsibility for the U.S. Capitol terrorist attack, in a private conversation with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

Notably, McCarthy turned around and repeated this to House Republicans on a conference call this evening. So what’s the strategy? Perhaps McCarthy convinced Trump that the best way for Trump to save himself is to show some remorse. Of course that’s not going to get Trump anywhere.

If anything, it just means McCarthy will be called to testify as a witness at Trump’s criminal trial, because Trump just admitted his guilt to McCarthy. Meanwhile, Trump and the Republican Party clearly have no idea how to handle any of what’s transpired this past week. Trump is falling to pieces, and McCarthy is as much of a dummy as ever.
