Donald Trump is crashing and burning

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 just lost Wisconsin. He’s a few hours away from losing Michigan. Within a day or two, he’ll likely have lost the electoral college. It’s all over for him politically. He knows it too. If he were any other politician, he’d be looking at the best way to concede and go out with some dignity.

Of course Donald Trump isn’t any other politician. First of all, he’s a clinically deranged career criminal, traitor, and mass murderer. Second, when he loses this election, he’s earmarked for prison; it’ll be a matter of whether New York State or the federal government gets him first. He can try to pardon himself on federal charges, but not state charges.

In other words, Trump can’t just concede and walk away. Instead he has to play the fool by chasing a Wisconsin recount he can’t win, tweeting insane false conspiracy theories that Twitter keeps taking down, and ensuring that his legacy is that of a clown who humiliated himself by falsely declaring victory on his way to a clear loss.

The fact that Donald Trump is going to prison if he loses doesn’t mean that his last ditch schemes are somehow going to save him. Instead it means he’s simply going to keep humiliating himself on his way out. It’s a dangerous time for the nation. But it’s an even more dangerous time for Trump, who is now on track to lose everything and go to prison.
