Donald Trump’s sour grapes

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.

Did you know that the term “sour grapes” comes from Greek Mythology? It comes from the fable “Fox and the Grapes.” Having sour grapes means being jealous of something or someone. Sour Grapes is the story of Donald Trump’s life.

Were I to ever write a book on Trump, this is what I’d call it. Sour grapes have ruined the traitor. After all — the only reason he seemingly ran for President in the first place was because of his extreme envy towards former president Obama.

And Trump is having this week and will continue to have, lots of sour grapes. This is because Trump is witnessing something he’d LOVE to have but cannot. That something is competence. All over, Judges and attorneys are showing their competency in handling Donald Trump. It really is something to see.

Now, the Appeals Court has upheld Trump’s federal gag order. Of course, Trump will likely appeal. It won’t get him anywhere, though. These judges who issued the decision are competent. They did not let themselves be swayed by an angry and childish traitor.

So, they upheld the gag order. Trump will have to obey. But he will be tempted. He will be tempted to violate the gag order because he has sour grapes, at his Judges, at opposing council, and he wants to scream his bitterness and hate into the wind.

Trump’s civil trial continued this week with Trump whining that he could campaign in Iowa were he not here. This, of course, makes no sense. Trump is not required to be there and could go to Iowa anytime he wants.

Trump also, this week, bungled his interview with Sean Hannity by saying he’d only be a dictator for a “day.” What a stupid thing to say! And, of course, he doesn’t mean it. It’s like when George Santos said he was Jew-ISH. The lengths some fraudsters will go!

Trump has sour grapes because he never realized his dream of being a dictator. A little thing like the law got in the way. Trump covets these evil dictators and wants to be just like them. It’s just another thing he will not get to do.

He can’t stop talking about food. Trump was indignant over Liz Cheney’s claim that he stopped eating. He has sour grapes about it. He wants to be seen as strong and virile (giggle.) In reality, Trump’s about as virile as a toad.

So yes, it all comes back to sour grapes. Trump’s slathered in sour grapes about everyone, about anyone who is braver, more intelligent, more loved than him, more competent than him, which, of course, is almost everybody.
