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.

Republican Senator Mitt Romney has entered quarantine this evening, because he came into close contact with Republican Senator Rand Paul, who tested positive today for the coronavirus. Apparently Trump didn’t know about Romney when he headed out for his press conference today, because he seemed surprised by the news.

When a reporter asked Donald Trump how the five Republican Senators currently in quarantine could end up impacting any stimulus voting, Trump expressed surprise that the number had climbed to five. When Trump was told that Mitt Romney was the fifth, he said “Gee that’s too bad.”

The reporter then asked if Trump was being sarcastic. Trump insisted he wasn’t. But let’s be real here. Mitt Romney voted to convict and remove Trump from office. Trump hates Romney. And now that he’s learned Romney is in quarantine due to potential coronavirus exposure, Trump is saying “Gee that’s too bad” – a line we’ve heard Trump use in clearly sarcastic fashion in the past. This is sick, even for Trump.
