Donald Trump’s Death Star just crashed and burned

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.

After Donald Trump ran a 2016 campaign so laughably ineffective that even the Russians couldn’t bail him out, and then he was gifted an accidental victory by the last minute Comey letter, the media rushed to label Trump’s various idiot campaign advisers as geniuses.

But Donald Trump’s floundering 2020 campaign has proven that people like Brad Parscale never did have any idea what they were doing – not four years ago and not now – and Trump just admitted as much by demoting him. So much for Parscale’s “Death Star.” He never did have a secret evil genius plan up his sleeve; he was simply another clueless stooge.

Of course we’re now going to hear about how Donald Trump’s new campaign manager Bill Stepien is the real secret evil genius who’s somehow magically going to turn Trump’s dying 2020 campaign around, even though Stepien has no skills or track record to indicate that he’s capable of any such thing. In fact Stepien is best known for being a part of Chris Christie’s bridgegate scandal. That’s right, Trump is now left plucking people from that far down in the bottom of the barrel.

It’s not that we can rest easy now. But there is absolutely no reason to believe that Trump’s new campaign stooge is going to do any better than his last campaign stooge. Trump is doing nothing to win – and he’s too far behind to even cheat effectively. If he does win it’ll either be because of a fluke, or because our side got lazy. Let’s not let that happen. Let’s get to work and finish Trump off.
