Rachel Maddow just bulldozed Donald Trump Jr.

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.

When it was reported earlier this week that Rachel Maddow would be taking a “break” from her nightly MSNBC show, viewers feared the worst. Was this a euphemism for a long term hiatus, or even retirement? Had she burned out? But then came the good news: she’ll only be off the air for a few weeks, and it’s because she’s working with Ben Stiller to turn her “Bag Man” podcast into a movie.

Donald Trump Jr., never one for facts, or details, or coherence, decided to celebrate this development as if Maddow were leaving the air permanently. Junior bizarrely tweeted this: “Seems the TRUTH finally broke her! Rachel Maddow to take break from MSNBC to produce film: report.”

That’s when Rachel Maddow jumped in and replied to Donald Trump Jr. with this: “LOL do you think he knows it’s a film about a criminal in the White House? And… prosecuting him? For crimes?” We’re guessing Don Junior still doesn’t quite get it.
