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.

Donald Trump’s Tulsa rally was such a disaster for him – both in terms of embarrassingly low turnout, and in terms of negative coverage for holding a rally during a deadly pandemic – we were left to wonder if he’d end up holding any more rallies.

Technically Trump says he’s rescheduling it. But when you call off an event and you don’t bother to announce a new date for it, you didn’t really reschedule it, did you? There is in fact a tropical storm bearing down on the northeast. But the weather forecast for Portsmouth doesn’t look at all that bad. We can’t say for sure that he’s just using the weather as an excuse to call off what would have been yet another poorly attended rally, but we wouldn’t put it past him.
