“Too little too late” – Donald Trump’s panic moves can’t save him

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.

This weekend Donald Trump took his already-manic tweeting to a whole new level of brinksmanship. He launched vicious personal attacks at a reporter and her source, over a story which reported that people around Trump think Michael Cohen might flip on him. The tweet felt like a cry for help in the dark. We weren’t the only ones who interpreted it in that manner.

Michael Avenatti, the attorney representing Stormy Daniels in her civil dispute with Michael Cohen, responded to Trump’s Twitter meltdown in this manner: “As I predicted, panic has set in at the WH. So much so, that we now have bogus tweets aimed at kissing Mr. Cohen’s a** and giving him a false sense of security and friendship with the hope that he doesn’t tell the truth and bring the house of cards down. Too little too late.”

Avenatti then sarcastically pretended to be Trump addressing Cohen, tweeting “My Dear Friend: Don’t you remember how I demeaned you to others and made you look like a fool? How I always over-charged you for the real estate? How I never defended you? How I abandoned you when I won and blew you off? Now that is true love Michael, and you know it! Now shush.”

Donald Trump posted this utterly surreal three-part tweet about Michael Cohen, which set off the fireworks to begin with: “The New York Times and a third rate reporter named Maggie Haberman, known as a Crooked H flunkie who I don’t speak to and have nothing to do with, are going out of their way to destroy Michael Cohen and his relationship with me in the hope that he will “flip.” They use non-existent “sources” and a drunk/drugged up loser who hates Michael, a fine person with a wonderful family. Michael is a businessman for his own account/lawyer who I have always liked & respected. Most people will flip if the Government lets them out of trouble, even if it means lying or making up stories. Sorry, I don’t see Michael doing that despite the horrible Witch Hunt and the dishonest media!”
