It’s almost like Donald Trump is trying to lose his Supreme Court case

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.

The U.S. Supreme Court keeps showing no interest in helping Donald Trump with his criminal cases, instead preferring to save its political muscle for its own corrupt agenda. But we all get the feeling that the Supreme Court would prefer not to have to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot, because it’s the path of least controversy.

In that sense Trump is like the guy who already has the job going in, and simply has to through the formality of the interview process. But Trump, whose delusional senility seems worse in his every public appearance, now has his attorneys making completely nonsensical arguments in all of his cases. That includes his 14th Amendment Supreme Court case.

Trump had his attorneys make a Supreme Court filing this week which argued that Trump was not an officer of the government when he tried to overthrow the 2020 election. Wait a minute now. Trump is also asking the courts to throw out his criminal cases on the grounds that he was acting as an officer of the court. These kinds of conflicting claims are a good way to lose automatically.

So no matter how badly the Supreme Court might want to rule in Trump’s favor on the ballot issue, his idiotic filings just might make that impossible. Again, Trump probably had this ruling in the bag before the case even started. But at this point he’s blowing the formalities so badly, he might actually cost himself the case.
