Donald Trump just admitted he can’t take the heat

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.

It’s been more than forty-eight hours since Donald Trump’s calamitously embarrassing interview with Chris Wallace aired. Most people have moved on, if only because there have been so many new Trump scandals and embarrassments since then. But Trump, or one of his social media handlers, is still hung up on trying to explain it away:

Thank you for the good reviews and comments on my interview with Chris Wallace of @FoxNews. We may have set a record for doing such an interview in the heat. It was 100 degrees, making things very interesting!

Oh come on. Excuses, excuses. Now we’re supposed to believe that Donald Trump only got steamrolled by Chris Wallace because it was hot outside? Next Trump will be claiming his dog at his homework.
