Al Franken just destroyed Donald Trump

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.

Donald Trump’s heavily-hyped and poorly-attended rally last night in Tulsa has turned into yet another embarrassing punchline for a candidate and campaign that are already an embarrassing punchline. Former Senator Al Franken just delivered a knockout blow:

6,200 people at Trump rally in Tulsa. Acts that had bigger crowds at the same venue in 2019:

– Sha Na Na
– The Pips (w/o Gladys Knight)
– Loverboy
– John Tesh
– The West Virginia Touring Company of La Traviata

That’s right, Donald Trump got outdrawn by John Tesh. No offense to any of these performers, but the sitting President of the United States should be able to easily outdraw everyone on the above list. And if Donald Trump wants to use the coronavirus as an excuse, then he should stop pretending the pandemic is under control.
