Donald Trump has been stunned into silence

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 appeared in public today for a disastrous town hall on Univision, so we know he was awake and conscious during at least one point today. But in the hours since, a number of things have gone very badly for him – and very oddly, he’s suddenly MIA.

It’s been hours since Kamala Harris appeared on Fox News and wiped the floor with host Bret Baier. You’d think Trump would be on social media by now, ranting and raving defensively about how Harris supposedly bombed. But he hasn’t posted at all.

For that matter it’s been more than an hour since the news broke that Trump reportedly tried to pay off Stormy Daniels again to try to keep her quiet during the 2024 election. You’d think that Trump would be panic posting about this, insisting the affair never happened, calling her insulting names, or something of the sort. But again, silence.

You have to wonder if Trump’s babysitters have him so isolated from the real world, he doesn’t even know about these stories yet. If Trump doesn’t start ranting about Kamala’s Fox News appearance soon, we’ll have to presume that his babysitters either tranqed him for the evening, or they hid his remote control and they have him watching reruns of Scooby Doo.
