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.

Let’s say you’re the most hated “president” in United States history. Let’s further say that you’re so despised for so many reasons, the vast majority of players on the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles were planning to boycott their trip to the White House, so you decide to “cancel” the visit and replace it with some nonsense that mostly consists of patriotic songs being played for no particular reason. If you’re Donald Trump, you’re already having a pretty bad day before you show up to this event. Don’t worry, Trump managed to make it even worse for himself.

At one point during today’s event, “God Bless America” was played. Donald Trump tried singing along, and was caught on video. You can’t hear his voice, but based on his lips, he doesn’t appear to know many of the words to the song. Did he never bother to learn the words, even after becoming pseudo-president? If so, what kind of patriot is he? Has he forgotten the words because he’s going senile? The national media is having a field day with this right now – but it’s not the first time.

About a year ago, after Donald Trump acted bizarrely during the National Anthem and didn’t seem to know many of the words to it, Palmer Report pointed to this as evidence that he was slipping in the cognitive department. We took some heat for this, as even some in the Resistance didn’t seem to want to entertain the notion that Trump was going senile in addition to being an evil criminal.

In any case, Donald Trump is falling to pieces. He could have quietly hosted the roughly eight Eagles players who were actually going to show up (out of a fifty-three man roster), or he could have canceled on them and done nothing today. Instead he took the risk of holding this bizarre event just to try to prove he’s the bigger patriot. Instead he fell to pieces, and proved he’s an even bigger idiot than we thought.
