Nancy Pelosi slam dunks Donald Trump

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.

If the Republican Senate had agreed to convict and remove Donald Trump when Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi impeached him, we wouldn’t be in this deadly mess right now. Trump keeps making things worse, and the complicit GOP Senate is still refusing to remove him. But now Pelosi is coming at Trump from a new angle.

Nancy Pelosi has posted a public letter to her Democratic House colleagues, calling Donald Trump “weak” on multiple occasions:

    The truth is that Donald Trump dismantled the infrastructure handed to him which was meant to plan for and overcome a pandemic, resulting in unnecessary deaths and economic disaster.
    The truth is that in January Donald Trump was warned about this pandemic, ignored those warnings, took insufficient action and caused unnecessary death and disaster.
    The truth is that Donald Trump told his most loyal followers that the pandemic was a hoax and that it would magically disappear, thus endangering lives and paving the way for economic disaster.
    The truth is that we did not have proper testing available in March despite Trump repeatedly claiming that we did; and even now, we do not have adequate tests, masks, PPE, and necessary equipment, which creates unnecessary death and suffering.
    The truth is because of an incompetent reaction to this health crisis, the strong economy handed to Donald Trump is now a disaster, causing the suffering of countless Americans and endangering lives.
    The truth is a weak person, a poor leader, takes no responsibility. A weak person blames others.

It’s not difficult to figure out what Nancy Pelosi is doing here. She sees that Donald Trump is more off the rails than ever, and she’s trying to bait him into attacking her. Whenever Trump does this, he ends up looking like an idiot and weakening his own negotiating position, which will come in handy when she negotiates the next relief package with him, and forces him to reinstate funding for things like the Post Office.
