Is this why Donald Trump sounded so gravely ill last night?

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.

When Donald Trump gave his televised Oval Office address last night, he didn’t just sound clueless and unprepared. He sounded like he was gravely ill. He was short of breath. At certain points he could barely get words to come out of his mouth. Sure, maybe he hasn’t been sleeping lately. But we also have to consider the possibility that he’s as physically ill as he sounds.

Lindsey Graham announced today that he’s quarantining himself for fear he may have been exposed to the coronavirus this past weekend at Mar-a-Lago. This is because a Brazilian official, who was also in attendance, is now suspected of having the virus. But by all accounts, Graham never came into contact with the guy. Donald Trump and Mike Pence did. The only reason for Graham to quarantine himself is that he fears he may have caught it from Trump and/or Pence.

Now Donald Trump is going on television and sounding like he’s seriously ill. Trump still insists he hasn’t even been tested, because he’s not worried about it. Yet we know that he was directly exposed to the virus about five days ago. Considering Trump’s age and visibly poor health to begin with, this raises morbid questions about whether he’ll even make it to November.
