Everyone piles on after Donald Trump has completely incoherent meltdown about potatoes

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.

For someone who spends a lot of time pretending to care about farmers, it’s pretty clear Donald Trump hasn’t ever been within a hundred miles of a farm. Trump tried to argue today that farmers in Virginia should vote for him because… well, something about guns and potatoes.

Just when you thought no one could top Dan Quayle when it came to stupid moments involving potatoes, Donald Trump said today that the Democrats want to take guns away from farmers, leaving no one to guard their potatoes.

That’s right, in Trump’s post-apocalyptic mind, farmers are sitting in the fields all day with their shotguns, fending off potato-stealing zombies. This guy couldn’t be any more removed from reality, or from mental competence.
