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.

He said it was a hoax. He knew it was a deadly virus that was on the verge of being a pandemic, and he said it was a hoax. The first case showed up in the United States, and he said it was a hoax. It started spreading, and he said it was hoax.

Some of Trump’s supporters in this country are going to die. Some of Trump’s detractors in this country are going to die. Trump said this was all a hoax. Multiple members of Congress are currently in quarantine because they were exposed to the virus. Trump promised us it was just a hoax. It turns out Trump has been directly exposed to the coronavirus himself, even though he told us it was all a hoax.

Never forget that Donald Trump said this was all a hoax. He wasn’t mistaken. It wasn’t an error. He knew it was very real, yet he tried to convince the American people that it was a hoax, because he thought that telling that lie would be good for him politically. And now more people are going to die than otherwise would have, because he told that lie. Never forget that he called this a hoax.
