Nice try, Jared Kushner!

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 as a consistent habit of implying that he’s going to do evil things that would be literally impossible for him to do. He’s hoping to scare people into falling for his bluff, so he can then use the empty threat as leverage or as a distraction. Of course this only works if people don’t realize he’s bluffing.

Now it appears his son-in-law Jared Kushner is dipping into the same playbook. For some reason a journalist decided to ask Jared Kushner in incredibly stupid question about whether the Trump regime can guarantee the 2020 election will happen as scheduled. Kushner seized the opportunity by saying he’s not sure he can “commit” to it.

Here’s the thing. Jared Kushner obviously has zero say over whether the election will be delayed. Also, Donald Trump has literally zero say over whether the election will be delayed. The law is very clear when it spells out that only Congress can delay the election. So unless you think Nancy Pelosi is somehow going to delay the election, it’s absolutely 100% not happening.

Kushner’s non-committal answer was a rather obvious attempt at scaring the public into believing that, sure, the Trump regime just might magically postpone the election. Why not throw it out there and try to scare people into thinking Trump is all-powerful so they’ll cower to him? But this scenario is laughably, hysterically impossible, on a hallucinatory level. Trump literally can’t postpone the election. Don’t fall for this crap, because it’ll distract you from the very real things that Trump will try, such as voter suppression.
