Donald Trump has total meltdown when challenged by reporter Kelly O’Donnell

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.

It looks like Donald Trump is just going to keep giving coronavirus speeches until he finally gets one right. First he failed in lethargic and barely-there fashion with his half dead Oval Office address. Then he failed with a lengthy and at times celebratory Rose Garden press conference. Today he decided to hold a very rare press briefing in the White House briefing room. It didn’t go any better.

Not only is Donald Trump thoroughly botching his response to the nationwide and worldwide coronavirus crisis, he’s botching his response to the fact that he himself has been exposed to the virus. Trump and his doctor can’t get their stories straight about whether he needs to be tested, or whether he has been tested. Today, NBC News reporter Kelly O’Donnell put him on the spot about it.

In response, Donald Trump did what he always does when he gets flustered: he acted like a rambling idiot, giving an incoherent explanation for why he shook hands with multiple people yesterday despite having been exposed to the coronavirus.

Trump also did what he always does when a woman stands up to him: he condescendingly told Kelly O’Donnell to “relax.” We’re surprised the prick didn’t tell her to “smile” while he was at it. This comes one day after Trump accused PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor of having asked a “nasty question.” This guy’s sexism and racism are getting even more blatant as it all falls apart for him.
