Donald Trump is falling to pieces in front of our eyes

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 is holding yet another press briefing today. Thus far Trump has merely been reading from a script, making one false claim after another about his coronavirus response. Trump is now officially “authorizing” the governors to open their states. Moreover, Trump is trying to give the impression that this is actually happening.

So now Donald Trump’s latest plan is to pretend the country has reopened when it hasn’t. That’ll buy him about a minute and a half before everyone realizes they’re still stuck in their homes. And he wonders why his approval numbers are cratering.

By now most Americans know that the only way to get the country up and running again is with a robust testing program. Yet Donald Trump is still refusing to provide any sort of coronavirus testing program. He’s insisting the governors set up testing themselves, even though it’s not realistic for the fifty states to do this independently.

Donald Trump is showing absolutely no leadership at all. He’s claiming absolute power, while refusing to actually do anything. More and more Americans are seeing through it. No wonder he sounds so nervous and frantic.
