Donald Trump’s stooge Ben Carson just had a stunning meltdown on live national television

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.

To give you an idea of how incompetent Donald Trump is at using his personnel, and how stereotypically he sees black people, he put former brain surgeon Ben Carson in his cabinet – but put him in charge of HUD instead of making him Surgeon General. But considering how braindead Carson is, perhaps it’s better that he’s not Surgeon General.

In any case, this morning Donald Trump sent Ben Carson onto ABC This Week in order to reassure the public that the Trump regime has the coronavirus outbreak under control. If anything, Carson ended up doing the opposite. Carson was asked about the regime’s plan for bringing a virus-stricken cruise ship ashore and treating the infected Americans who are on board.

Carson initially said he didn’t want to reveal the plan for the cruise ship. Wait, why would it be a secret? Did Trump really send Carson onto live national television without telling him anything about the plan? When pressed by host George Stephanopoulos, Carson melted down and said that the plan isn’t yet “fully formulated.”

Wait, so is there really no plan, or is Ben Carson merely pretending there’s no plan? With this guy it can be difficult to parse. After all, he once pretended he’d stabbed a guy so he could sell more books. He also thinks Joseph from the Bible built the Pyramids in Egypt to store grain. What’s remarkable is that Carson is this disturbingly far gone, and yet he may not even be the most embarrassing person in Trump’s cabinet.
