Donald Trump is five minutes away from a chair throwing brawl in the White House

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.

This administration is in chaos and it is all Donald Trump’s fault. No one knows what he’s going to do next. No one knows what his plans are. Because Donald doesn’t have plans. He functions in the same way a six-year-old without his Ritalin functions – on a whim. Whatever capricious impulse happens to strike him, he acts on it. White House staffers need to be sure that their health insurance covers whiplash because at any given moment, the ship of state might veer wildly off in a new direction.

This week Donny said he was going to sign the spending bill. Then he saw that Fox News was critical of it and so he wasn’t going to sign it. Even as he was coming out to give a press conference on the subject, his aides had no idea which way he had decided to go and couldn’t tell reporters what to expect.
Earlier this week, Trump stated that he was absolutely not firing H. R. McMaster, and less than 48 hours later, he did just that. He congratulated Russian president Vladimir Putin in spite of his foreign affairs advisors writing “DO NOT CONGRATULATE” on a note card prior to the phone call.

Trump enacted tariffs against the specific advice of his economic strategists, he approved limits on transgender troops without warning the military that he was about to do so, and he even threatened to get into a fistfight with former Vice President Joe Biden. All of this came while accusations from porn stars, Playboy models and reality show contestants rained down on him. It’s as if we are watching ‘Jerry Springer Goes to Washington,’ except that no one would ever actually sit through a movie that was this bad.

This inconsistent and unpredictable behavior is no way to run a nation and it eventually takes a toll on the members of our government whose job it is to carry out his agenda. Gary Cohn, the Director of the National Economic Council, recently resigned. donald Trump’s lawyer John Dowd has stepped down as his top attorney in the Russia probe. Our Ambassadors to Panama and Mexico have opted out of the administration, stating that they cannot work under these conditions. We deserve better from an American president. Stay tuned. Next week we may see a chair-throwing brawl break out in the Oval Office.
