Dear Palmer Report readers,
We all understand what a dark era we're heading into. Journalists will be prosecuted. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. Advertising networks can't be counted on. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight, because someone has to.
In that regard we're looking to start funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens or how dark things get. We've launched a reader supported fund, and we've already raised $3360 and counting. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can contribute here. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Bill Palmer

Judging by the giant idiotic banner that’s hanging behind him, we’re left to presume that Donald Trump held today’s press conference so he could brag about how the United States leads the world in coronavirus testing. That’s cute, but the only reason the U.S. is doing so much testing is that it also leads the world in coronavirus infections, and the testing is completely inadequate.
Trump was already struggling to get through this briefing when he was reading prepared text that someone else had written for him. When he opened it up to questions, it totally got away from him. Trump asserted that his regime has “prevailed” in the coronavirus crisis, even though eighty thousand Americans have died, and the number keeps climbing.
Trump was asked twice about what’s going on with Mike Pence either being in quarantine or not being in quarantine, and he couldn’t come close to giving an answer. Trump was asked about the White House coronavirus outbreak, and during the course of a single sentence, he alternately claimed that either one, or two, or three people have tested positive in the White House. When a female reporter asked him a question he didn’t like, he dissolved into a puddle of angry goo.
