Longtime Trump supporter finally turns against Donald Trump over his disastrous coronavirus response

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.

From the day he took office, Donald Trump’s approval rating has been so low that he was always going to have a hard time getting reelected. The thing is, for all his screw-ups, for all his scandals, for all his crimes, his low approval rating never has seemed to go much lower. There have always been a minority of people who were just unwilling to give up on the guy now matter how horrible he was.

But now the United States is up against a worldwide pandemic. Tom Hanks is infected with it. The NBA just shut down its entire season after learning one of its players was infected with it. This is real – and Trump is a fake President in every sense of the world.

It turns out Trump is indeed capable of losing longtime supporters over this, because he just lost one:

What stands out here is that this tweet is from Wednesday morning, before Donald Trump’s disastrous primetime Oval Office address last night. So Trump lost this supporter just based on how he’d been handling things prior to yesterday. Now we wait for the updated approval rating numbers to see how many more supporters he may be losing as this whole thing gets worse, and it becomes more clear to everyone that he’s not up to the job.
