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.

As part of Donald Trump’s ongoing attempt at closing the stable door after the horse has already left the barn, he held a truly bizarre press conference today in which he congratulated himself on his coronavirus response, told off a reporter, and stupidly shook hands with a bunch of people.

Now Donald Trump has something new to say this evening:

Okay, fine. But if this move was necessary, why didn’t he do it before today? And are we really supposed to believe that Donald Trump showed any leadership by asking them not to sail? Our guess is the cruise ships decided to pull the plug themselves, and when they notified the Trump regime of this, Trump decided to take credit for something that was happening anyway.
