Donald Trump’s latest press conference is already off to a disastrous start

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.

Americans are facing a pandemic, and they’re desperately hoping to hear about progress when it comes to emergency medical supplies. Americans are also broke and hungry, and they’re hoping to hear about those $1200 checks they were promised that never arrived.

So naturally, Donald Trump opened his press conference today by announcing a bailout for the airlines, and then bragged that he just got off the phone with Vladimir Putin. This is classic Trump. He’s completely tone deaf when it comes to what most Americans want to hear from a President, and he’s completely lacking self awareness when it comes to the fact that everyone knows he’s Putin’s puppet.
