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.

Donald Trump is holding yet another disastrous press conference right now, full of racial slurs, selective well wishes, and bizarre remarks about “sadistic” doctors. Sorely lacking: actual solutions. Wall Street has taken notice accordingly.

In the roughly half an hour that Donald Trump has been talking, overnight stock market trading has gone completely off a cliff. The Dow Futures plummeted so badly, a “limit down” was triggered to prevent them from falling even further. This points to the Dow Jones opening at around 18,000 points tomorrow morning, with a halt likely kicking in just minutes after the market opens.
