Donald Trump Jr busted

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 sure does love playing the victim. It may be part of why he’s had such a hard time selling the “strongman” image that’s needed in order to get ahead (and stay ahead) on the American political right. But as fragile as Trump is, his son Donald Trump Jr may be even more fragile.

We received a reminder of this when Donald Trump Jr was forced to cancel his planned tour of Australia, and blamed the Australian government for it, suggesting it was trying to deny him a visa or something. But now Junior has gotten busted for this.

An Australian government official is pointing out that Donald Trump Jr. more likely canceled his Australian tour due to low ticket sales, and called him a “big baby” for trying to blame the government for his own failings.

If nothing else Donald Trump Jr was true to form in blaming “the government” for his own failings – something that right wing losers have been doing for as long as government has existed.
