Donald Trump has completely psychotic meltdown about NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace
This morning Palmer Report pointed out that Donald Trump is no longer running for President; he’s running for mayor of Crazy Town. Whether through spiteful intention of psychological failing, Trump’s behavior is becoming more psychotic by the day – to the point that it’s as if he’s now trying to cost himself votes. Now Trump is demonstrating exactly what we were talking about.
Trump posted this tweet today:
Has @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX? That & Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER!

To be clear, Trump is flat out lying about what happened. It was NASCAR officials who found the noose in Bubba Wallace’s stall and alerted law enforcement. It turned out the noose had been hanging there as a garage door pull-down for at least a year and hadn’t been hung specifically to target Wallace, but photos released of the scene make clear that it was definitely a noose.
Of course facts and truth have never mattered to Donald Trump. But here’s what is different. Even as openly racist as Trump was in 2016, he tried to do it in a way that allowed moderately racist voters to convince themselves that Trump wasn’t actually a racist, so they could still feel comfortable voting for him. Now, however, there’s no strategy to Trump’s racism. His tweet about Bubba Wallace will cost him the votes of some white moderate conservatives – but he’s either too far gone to understand this, or too far gone to care.
