Donald Trump’s “ground game” turns into a sinkhole

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.

Sometimes, words can tell a thousand stories. Words can be the ships of our imaginations, setting sail for new generations of poets, artists, and political leaders, like United States Presidents. I have a word that I’d like to talk about.

It’s actually the name of a song by Jacques Brel, whom, as I’m pretty sure you know, I happen to be a fan of. This word applies perfectly to Donald Trump. It is called Next. “Next.” This word is reverberating in my head—with glee, and abandon, —as I excitedly wait for the day when the election is called and I—along with many others—can metaphorically SCREAM the word right at Donald John Trump, or should I say, inmate PO1135809.

NEXT! Get off the stage, Donald. Your time in politics is done. Leave. Start getting ready for your trials. As Kamala Harris barnstorms the country, allow this writer to tell you all the ways Trump is making news—none of them good.

Trump went nuts on stage the other evening after his mic stopped working. He grumbled. He threatened to sue the Mic company. Such an intellectual jewel!

NEXT!

Trump’s rally was a glass half empty — more than half. I witnessed gleefully the rows, rows, and rows of empty seats…

NEXT!

Reportedly, Republicans are in full panic mode about Trump’s ground game or lack thereof. Do better, they’re hysterically telling him. Trump has doubled down on migrants eating animals like dogs and cats.

Trump also flunked history as he declared that Abraham Lincoln could’ve made a deal to end the Civil War. That’ll get out the Black vote for sure!

NEXT!

ZZZZZ???

Trump appeared to blissfully nod off at a Michigan event, leaving everyone to wonder if Cinderella was indeed out at the ball past bedtime.

Trump says he will do “everything” at an upcoming McDonald’s visit where this writer SUPPOSES he’ll try to do, what for him, is a very unique thing—work.

He said a friend of his had a McDonald’s “someplace.” Ah, could that friend be Hannibal Lecter himself? We don’t know. Next! More cancelations, more abandoned interviews.

Trump also managed to embarrass Fox non-news by claiming they wrote some of his comedy jokes that weren’t funny. So, THAT explains why they were so vulgar. Fox writing comedy is like Sammy Alito writing witch jokes. Fox has denied the Trump accusation. Next!

Wow. So many Trump mistakes. This writer could go on — and on — and on. But I do believe this just about covers it — for today. For there will be a next — and a next — all the way to the election. NEXT!
