Donald Trump’s “classified information” meltdown is one for the ages

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 announced to reporters today that John Bolton should face criminal penalties simply for publishing a book about him, because every conversation Trump has is “classified.” This is one of the most asininely idiotic things that Trump has ever said, and it’s of course legally unenforceable. It’s also hilariously self defeating.

Trump now says that every conversation he has is classified. That means, by Trump’s own definition, he’s leaking classified information every time he gives a speech or posts a tweet. Arrest this man now.
