It’s too late for Donald Trump now

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.

Donald Trump, or more likely one of his social media handlers, decided this afternoon that it was time for Trump to try to sound like a unifying figure – maybe even a leader. The trouble is, no one is buying it.

Trump posted this tweet, which in a vacuum, might have been fine: “I want all Americans to understand: we are at war with an invisible enemy, but that enemy is no match for the spirit and resolve of the American people It cannot overcome the dedication of our doctors, nurses, and scientists — and it cannot beat the LOVE, PATRIOTISM, and DETERMINATION of our citizens. Strong and United, WE WILL PREVAIL!”

But this came shortly after Donald Trump held a nationally televised press conference and defended his decision to start referring to the coronavirus as a fight against the “Chinese virus.” Everyone can see this sicko for precisely who he is. It’s too late for him, or his handlers, to try to sanitize him after the fact.
