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.

During his profoundly disconcerting press conference today, Donald Trump flat out admitted that he told Mike Pence not to work with certain Governors in the coronavirus crisis because he sees them as political adversaries. Trump specifically attacked Washington Governor Jay Inslee, and “the woman in Michigan.”

That was a reference to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who appeared on CNN immediately after Trump’s failed press conference and fired back accordingly:

"We need help. We need leadership. And we need to put political differences aside and focus on the real enemy, and that's the virus." – Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Pres. Trump criticizing her for asking the federal government for more help fighting the Covid-19 outbreak. pic.twitter.com/GB1g7Ufpoj
