Everyone piles on after Donald Trump makes up idiotic new word

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.

So you’re Donald Trump, and you’re two weeks away from a midterm election that threatens to hand the opposition party the power to expose every last one of your crimes and bring you to justice. The numbers aren’t looking good for you. With no other options left, you decide to declare a “National Emergency” – or not.

This morning Trump decided that a caravan in Honduras, which isn’t anywhere near the United States, has suddenly become a “National Emergy.” No really, he said National Emergy. Clearly he was trying to say Emergency, but as is so often the case with this corrupt buffoon, his antics end up getting overshadowed by his stupidity. Nonetheless, Trump has now raised the stakes of this “Emergy” by randomly deciding that “Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in.” Wait, unknown Middle Easterners? What does that even mean?

Oh right, it doesn’t mean anything. Donald Trump is just trying to fire up his racist base ahead of the midterms, and scare moderate suburban white people into believing that a nonwhite bogey man is coming to get them. But all it did was cause the phrase “National Emergy” to trend on Twitter while everyone piled on with jokes about the failed abbreviation and fake word that Trump had just invented. Meanwhile we’re fifteen days from the election, and if the Democrats don’t take back the House, we really will have a national emergency on our hands. Get out and vote!
