Donald Trump is coming out of his impeachment trial with the same non-competitive 40% approval rating he’s been saddled with for quite some time, a sham “acquittal” that won’t gain him a single new supporter, and the same dimwitted mindset that’s gotten him into this mess. The question has been whether Trump mistakenly thinks this trial was a victory for him, or whether he understands that he’s in as much trouble as ever.

Last night Donald Trump gave us the answer. After retweeting human garbage disposal Lindsey Graham too many times to count, Trump got around to the business of revealing where his head is at right now. He’s not celebrating his supposed victory, or even trying to figure out how to use it as a basis for moving forward. Instead, as the night went on, he let us know precisely where his head is at.

Shortly after midnight eastern time, Trump began ranting about how Mike Bloomberg is “part of the Fake News.” Then he began whining about how many television ads Bloomberg is running against him, before moving on to some utterly deranged conspiracy theories about the Democratic Party. Bloomberg isn’t even close to being in contention right now, but Trump is nonetheless obsessed with him. It’s easy to figure out why: unlike Trump, Bloomberg is actually a billionaire, and Bloomberg is committed to running ads in favor of whoever wins the Democratic nomination.

By the time it was over, Donald Trump was reduced to making up absurd and incoherent stories about how short Bloomberg is. Does this sound like a guy who thinks the sham impeachment trial helped him, or that he thinks he’s in good shape for 2020 right now? He sounds as frantic, worried, and clueless about 2020 strategy as ever. If the Resistance works hard and works smart this year, Trump will lose. The only way he can win is if the Resistance tricks itself into believing that Trump is somehow magically going to win no matter what we do.

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.
