Donald Trump gets confused about what state he’s in, threatens to end his rally early

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.

Donald Trump, who was visibly in poor health even before he suffered a severe case of coronavirus, has been rigorously hitting the campaign trail over the past two weeks. His behavior has become even more uneven and unhinged than ever, and earlier this week he thought he was in Minnesota when he was in Michigan. Now Trump appears to be really struggling.

Trump held a rally in Lumberton, North Carolina today. That was apparently news to Trump, because at one point he asked, “Can you imagine if I lost in Iowa?” Some may try to argue that Trump knew he was in North Carolina and that he was focusing on Iowa anyway, but that wouldn’t make things better.

Trump also threatened to end his rally early, complaining about the heat. To be clear, this is late October, and the temperatures in Lumberton were in the low eighties today. So it may have been warm out, but not nearly as hot as it’s been during earlier points in the election cycle.

The thing to keep an eye on now his whether Donald Trump continues cutting his rallies short in the coming days, and whether he continues to get confused about where he’s at. If he’s running out of gas, physically and mentally, the pattern will become more clear this upcoming week.
