Last night, during his tepid and half-awake televised speech, Donald Trump announced that he would be meeting with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer today to discuss his failed government shutdown and imaginary border wall. There was no reason to expect the meeting to go well for Trump. As it turns out, it went so badly, Trump ended up throwing a physical tantrum during the meeting.

After the meeting, Chuck Schumer told a group of assembled reporters that after Nancy Pelosi refused to cave to Donald Trump’s wall funding demands, Trump slammed his fist on the table and stormed out. This is an alarming tantrum even by his standards. It gets even stranger.

Donald Trump posted this tweet about the meeting: “Just left a meeting with Chuck and Nancy, a total waste of time. I asked what is going to happen in 30 days if I quickly open things up, are you going to approve Border Security which includes a Wall or Steel Barrier? Nancy said, NO. I said bye-bye, nothing else works!” The Washington Post then confirmed that, according to a Democrat aide in the room, Donald Trump really did say “bye-bye” before he stormed out.

This wasn’t the only part of Donald Trump’s meltdown today. He met with reporters while the cameras were rolling, and ended up telling off ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl. Trump kept asking Karl how he should handle the shutdown, and then yelled this at him: “Would you do that if you were in my position? Because if you would do that, you should never be in this position, because you’d never get anything done.”

It's been a tough week, a tough month, a tough year. For all of us. But the fight goes on. Because we know how important this is. Because we care. Because we're the ones who fight. It's you and me. It has been for a decade. And I'm never backing down. But Palmer Report does have operating expenses. And in this uncertain time, I truly need your help. For that reason I've launched the Palmer Report 2025 Operating Expenses Fund. If we can fully fund this, it'll bridge the gap and ensure that Palmer Report can keep fighting now and forever. I'm asking you to contribute what you can to our GoFundMe Page or our PayPal Page, both of which accept debit and credit cards. Thank you.
