Donald Trump goes berserk about Susan Collins

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.

The problem with being “concerned” all the time, while not backing up said concern with firm actions is that you lost trust — and respect. That’s precisely what has happened with Senator Susan Collins. There was a time when Senator Collins WAS respected. She was seen as an honest broker. This respect ended about — I don’t know — 100 years ago.

The fact is Collins has been trying to have it both ways for years now. She likes people to see her as an agent of change, but that’s not who she is. She’s actual agent of the waffle. Waffling — back and forth — and giving empty speeches that don’t make any sense has become her specialty. And like an obnoxious wind-up doll, she doesn’t stop with her concern.

Collins is back in the news after she reportedly told the New York times that Republicans shouldn’t “fear” Donald Trump. This statement is all well and good but considering Collins herself recently, on television, could not commit to not voting for Trump if he were to run in 2024, she really isn’t one to talk.

But talk, she did. And, of course, her words reached the king of insurrections himself. And he wasn’t that happy with what Collins said. “Atrocious” is what assolini is calling Collins, adding that he could have shut down her political future back in 2020 if he so desired.

“I remained silent and positive and allowed her to have her victory,” the moron said. The spokesperson for Collins obviously disputed that claim. And I’m with Collins on this one. Still, these days, it’s difficult to be “with” Collins on much else as she changes her opinions like the wind.

Consider the article from the Los Angeles Times. The title is “Sen. Susan Collins: A profile in cowardice.” This article references the fact that it took Collins days to come out with a statement against the “ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse” comments. And when she did, all she basically said was that said comments were “absurd.”

So, while I agree that (of course) Trump did not help Collins win, I also agree with the Times article. And as for Collins, she needs to understand that true political courage comes in actions, not words — and action is not something we’ve seen much of from the Maine Senator.
