Trump just doesn’t have the muscle

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.

– Trump didn’t have the muscle to stop the election from happening. He didn’t have the muscle to stop the ballot counting while he was ahead. So he sure as hell doesn’t have the muscle to magically overturn the result. This is obvious to anyone who still has their head on straight.

– If Trump launches an imaginary 2024 campaign next month so he can keep fundraising from his suckers, then so be it. Who cares? No one has to cover it. No one has to hysterically panic over it. Just ignore it. He’ll be in prison long before 2024 anyway.

– Some have suggested Trump will launch a phony 2024 campaign so he can avoid criminal prosecution. But that’s not a thing. Two sitting House members have been indicted and arrested in the past couple years alone. Being a sitting president comes with special protections. But being a presidential candidate offers you zero protection from prosecution. That’s just not a thing. If Trump launches a phony 2024 campaign, it’ll be about pilfering money, just like everything else he does.
