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.

Late on Thursday night, Donald Trump went on a Twitter rampage about how the protesters in Minneapolis were “thugs” and how he might send in troops to shoot them. Trump also asserted that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was a “very weak radical” and threatened to somehow take control of the city away from him.

As it turns out, Mayor Frey was holding a late night press conference about the situation in his city, and a reporter asked him about Trump’s tweet. Frey said this: “Weakness is refusing to take responsibility for your actions. Weakness is pointing your finger at somebody else during a time of crisis. Donald Trump knows nothing about the strength of Minneapolis. We are strong as hell. Is this a difficult time period? Yes. But you better be damn sure that we’re gonna get through this.”
