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.

If you’re closely following politics, it’s easy to understand what Donald Trump is trying to do with the border. He convinced House Republicans to kill President Biden’s bipartisan border deal, so that the border will continue to be a problem, so that Trump can campaign on the issue.

The way this is supposed to work is that most people don’t closely follow politics and therefore won’t know that it was Trump who sabotaged border security. Most voters (wrongly) think of the Republicans as being better on the border issue, so a broken border should benefit Trump in 2024.

This is like committing a crime, covering it up in the hope no one will notice, and then screwing up and confessing to the crime anyway. Which come to think of it, Trump has done as well. And he wonders why he’s now a convicted felon awaiting additional criminal trials.
