Donald Trump sounds like he’s got a problem

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.

I must admit the fast way Donald Trump has gone down the tubes surprises even me. I mean these days, he sounds less like a politician and more like that sad, dank, unwashed man on the end stool at that dive bar, out in the middle of nowhere.

This man usually can be found engaging in deep and dark conversations with himself, that all the other customers desperately scramble to avoid. I am sure many of you saw his CPAC rant where he said this: “I am your warrior. I am your justice. I am your retribution.”

I’d have preferred to hear this: “I am your traitor. I am your insurrectionist. And I am this era’s modern-day Benedict Arnold.”

Alas, that would have been too honest. But one thing is for sure. Rump sounded like — dare I say it? A street thug. And I had written previously about how Trump calling democrats “Marxist pigs” on Truth Social. Do you all notice that Trump is getting coarser and coarser?

He looks, sounds and acts somewhat like a crude and vulgar hoodlum, a kind of gangsta wanna-be. The fact is, if one listens to him now and does not know who it was, they might think it was some goon off the streets.

John Bolton, whom I can’t stand but very much want to run against Trump as a third-party candidate, came out against this speech calling Trump’s calls for retribution “something close to a civil insurrection.”

I am not worried about a civil insurrection. I am concerned about the media and that they’re not covering many of the right things. For example, how often have you seen the Walgreens story on TV?

Many people are sick of Donald trump and sick to death of his ranting and raving, which reeks of desperation and usually goes in one ear and out the other because few can decipher what he’s saying anyway.

But one way to tell how someone is doing is listening to their voice patterns, words, appearance and overall presentation. And the fact is that Donald Trump is not a well man and I think that’s pretty obvious.
