Even as Sarah Huckabee Sanders was complaining about having gotten thrown out of a restaurant, and thousands of immigrant kids were still being held hostage in cages, Donald Trump decided to fly west and hold a Klan rally in Nevada. Actually it was a rally to try to help get Republicans elected to Congress, so come to think of it, this was a Klan rally. Trump’s speech went fast in so many ugly directions, it was difficult to keep up.

You knew what kind of a cesspool the event was going to be when Donald Trump made a point of bringing his former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski (no, not the former Trump campaign manager who’s in jail, the other one) to the event. This was clearly in response to Lewandowski’s obnoxious and objectively evil appearance on Fox News this week, in which he responded to the specter of a ten year old girl with Down Syndrome being separated from her mother by making a “womp womp” sound. Naturally, Trump wanted to reward Lewandowski for being a piece of human excrement. But this was just the beginning.

Trump used the event to viciously mock Senator John McCain, who is terminally ill. He randomly attacked Senator Elizabeth Warren over her Native American heritage, calling her “Pocahontas.” Of course Trump has made these same offensive remarks before. But there was more. Much more. At one point Trump was yelling around about “Wacky Jacky” because of course he was. Then he accused certain Democrats of pronouncing “Nevada” incorrectly, only to later go on to pronounce it that same way himself.

The Democrats have won or outperformed expectations in every election since Donald Trump took office. If this “Blue Wave” continues into November, the Democrats will take control of both the House and Senate, thus making it infinitely easier to oust Trump from office. Trump has recently begun insisting there is a “Red Wave” in progress, even though there is zero evidence of this. Based on his Nevada rally, we’re guessing his gameplan consists of babbling offensively and then losing.

It's been a tough week, a tough month, a tough year. For all of us. But the fight goes on. Because we know how important this is. Because we care. Because we're the ones who fight. It's you and me. It has been for a decade. And I'm never backing down. But Palmer Report does have operating expenses. And in this uncertain time, I truly need your help. For that reason I've launched the Palmer Report 2025 Operating Expenses Fund. If we can fully fund this, it'll bridge the gap and ensure that Palmer Report can keep fighting now and forever. I'm asking you to contribute what you can to our GoFundMe Page or our PayPal Page, both of which accept debit and credit cards. Thank you.
