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.

As Donald Trump’s prospects continue to grow dimmer and his behavior continues to become more unstable and deranged accordingly, Palmer Report and others have pointed out that he’s been going “off the rails.” Now, in a surreal twist, Trump is the one who’s talking about the prospect of him going “off the rails.”

Trump retweeted this meltdown from one of his sycophants: “How has President Trump not gone completely off the rails & ballistic by now? Everyone in Washington is against the man. Every waking hour he is taking flak & enemy fire, from all sides. Yet he hangs in there. Maintains composure. Trump must have nerves of steel. How’s he do it?”

Wait, really? To be clear, Donald Trump just asked aloud how he’s “not gone completely off the rails.” Even setting aside the fact that he has gone off the rails, who talks like this about himself? Does he want extra credit for not (yet) having been found naked in the Oval Office while writing all over the walls with crayon? That’s probably coming next. Could the bar be any lower?
