Donald Trump just gave away that he has no idea what he’s even trying to do

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 leaks that he’s going to pardon a bunch of people today, then he doesn’t do it. Trump announces a last minute mystery event, then he immediately cancels it. The most underreported aspect of Trump’s final days is the sheer extent of his tepid and confused indecisiveness. He has no earthly idea what he’s even trying to do.

– So now Trump’s Space Force has stolen its logo from Star Trek and its naming conventions from Guardians of the Galaxy. I’d make a joke about it, but Space Force is the joke.

– Here’s what stands out about Trump’s people at the Pentagon suddenly refusing to work with the Biden transition team: they can’t get their story straight. Trump’s Pentagon people have floated at least four different excuses for it today. This gives away that it’s not some orchestrated plan, or else they’d have their story lined up in advance. Instead it comes across as a panic move, because they realized they were about to reveal some aspect of their corruption. Trump’s people don’t have the muscle to pull something like this off – they’ll cave – and now they’ve unwittingly given away what we should be looking for.
