Donald Trump’s wacky doctor Ronny Jackson is back – and it’s more ridiculous than ever

Dear Palmer Report readers,

We all understand what a dark era we're heading into. Journalists will be prosecuted. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. Advertising networks can't be counted on. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight, because someone has to.

In that regard we're looking to start funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens or how dark things get. We've launched a reader supported fund, and we've already raised $3360 and counting. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can contribute here. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Bill Palmer

In these dark times, it helps to laugh. So I got a kick out of it last night when I stumbled across a Twitter parody account aimed at mocking Donald Trump’s former White House doctor, Ronny Jackson. You remember him. He famously claimed that Trump only weighed 239 pounds, and that Trump was in great cognitive shape because he could correctly identify a giraffe or something. Then he had to resign amid a host of very ugly accusations about his personal and professional life. Here’s the trouble, though: it’s not a parody account.

Earlier this week Joe Biden gave a speech where he quoted his old Senate campaign line. The Republicans have since taken that quote out of context, to make it look like Biden thinks he’s currently running for Senate. That’s when this tweet happened from what turns out to be a very real Dr. Ronny Jackson account:

.

Are you kidding? Not only is Dr. Ronny Jackson back, he’s going out of his way to remind us – apparently with a straight face – that he gave Donald Trump a hilariously fake cognitive test. Also, Jackson is running for Congress – which is alarming considering that no one ever got to the bottom of those mainstream media reports accusing Jackson of being a drunken harasser of women who handed out pills in the Trump White House like candy. The crazy part is that he’s running in an overwhelmingly Republican district where the incumbent is retiring, so this clown Ronny Jackson could actually win and end up in the House.
