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.

You know who we’ll never hear from again after this? Trump’s base. They were losers who had no interest in politics, and got involved solely because he made them feel like winners. He had that unique ability. No other Republican has that. Trump fans will just fade from politics.

Don’t believe me? Consider how much trouble Trump had getting his base to turn out for midterms and special elections where his name wasn’t on the ballot. They just wouldn’t do it. They never had any interest in politics beyond his cult of personality. Once he’s out, they’ll be out too. They were only in it for the perverse high that he was uniquely able to give them.

That’s why it’s such a ludicrous notion that after Donald Trump is out of office, he’ll somehow become a “kingmaker” for the Republican Party. Trump couldn’t even get other Republicans elected while he was in office. He’s somehow going to make it happen after he’s out office? That’s before getting to the fact that he’ll be busy fighting criminal charges for the rest of his life.
