Donald Trump’s “Morning Psycho” meltdown isn’t exactly going over well

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.

Donald Trump is facing a cratering approval rating, sinking reelection prospects, a collapsing economy, negative oil prices, and a mounting death toll that most Americans are ultimately blame him for. So which of these crises is he focused on? Well, none of them. Trump has decided that attacking the MSNBC show Morning Joe is far more important:

Watched the first 5 minutes of poorly rated Morning Psycho on MSDNC just to see if he is as “nuts” as people are saying. He’s worse. Such hatred and contempt! I used to do his show all the time before the 2016 election, then cut him off. Wasn’t worth the effort, his mind is shot!

Joe Scarborough fired back in appropriate fashion:

Donald, thanks for being our most loyal viewer. Now please get to work. Over 40,000 Americans have died from the pandemic. America has the most gifted scientists, doctors, and technology leaders. Please use them and take charge of testing so we can get America working again! #USA https://t.co/2iNnoIRJLX

That’s right, Donald Trump has dissolved into such an unhinged puddle of goo, he’s making Joe Scarborough look smart and reasonable in the process. Trump always ends up unwittingly elevating the people he’s trying to cut down.
