“Anger glazed ham”

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.

Stephen Colbert is our friend. And, of course, BEING our friend, Colbert, who returned to late night TV the other day, couldn’t resist poking fun at Donald Trump. He made a wide array of jokes about the orange beast, but my personal favorite was when he labeled Donald Trump “anger-glazed ham.”

Joking about Donald Trump’s thievery of the classified documents, Colbert said he “left the launch codes in the splash zone.” The audience, of course, being an intelligent audience, proceeded to go crazy with applause and laughter.

And of course Donald Trump was watching. We know Donald Trump was watching because he vented his frustrations about being mocked on Truth Social, naturally. And then, Colbert, smiling like a particularly friendly collie, said the following

“On August 24, Trump was arrested at the Folsom County Jail and for the very first time we got a mug shot.”

“That is one anger-glazed ham”, he exclaimed, bring the house down, and I’m not talking about the house of representatives, which doesn’t need any help from Colbert to fall down down down.

And you know what? The more I look at that mug shot the more it DOES start to resemble an anger-glazed ham. Such is the power of suggestion, I suppose.

“I try to match that face,” Colbert lamented, adding that he could not match it as closely as his head writer.

It must’ve been torture for Donald Trump, stuck on truth social because he has no friends to talk to, to watch himself being mocked yet again, this time by Stephen Colbert. At this point Trump should just start going to sleep early so he doesn’t have to turn on the television set and see all the jokes about him that are being made.
