Even for Donald Trump this is just plain embarrassing

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.

How bad is Donald Trump with money? He’s one of the relatively few people who can say he’s filed for bankruptcy seven times. He’s been criminally convicted for cooking his company’s books, and he still can’t ever seem to come out ahead. He’s a “billionaire” who can’t afford to fund his own campaign.

So it’s not surprising that Trump would have no understanding of what the national budget deficit is, or how deficits work, or what money is, or what numbers are. That’s the only conclusion that can be drawn after Trump tried to show off his cryptocurrency prowess by saying that if he ever gets back in office he’ll use crypto to pay off the national debt. No really, he said this.

Of course the folks who want to cover for Trump’s worsening senility will insist he was just joking. But this is a guy who has no known sense of humor of any kind. What this is, simply put, is embarrassing. The guy thinks that cryptocurrency means he can just write any IOU he wants and it’s somehow valid. No wonder he keeps going bankrupt.
