This is just embarrassing for Donald Trump

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.

Through the years, we’ve all seen how Donald Trump enjoys creating nicknames for some of his political rivals. Oh yes, we’ve all heard about “little Marco”, “Lying Ted” etc. Trump’s choices in nicknames are not exactly creative nor are they subtle.

Donald Trump’s name-calling and, in particular, his use of nicknames for his political enemies have always been immature and stupid. And, of course, Maga adored all of it because, like their cult leader, Maga is immature and stupid.

But lately, it seems Trump’s use of nicknames has become downright ridiculous. Most of them, unlike before, do not catch on with the American people, and all Trump succeeds in doing is to show the world what a big-fat red-faced baby he is.

Case in point: For some inexplicable reason Donald Trump has gifted California Governor Gavin Newsom with a nickname of “New-scum.” This writer wonders if the traitor imagines himself on school playground these days.

I suppose Trump is jealous of the gallant California Governor. After all, put these two next to each other and what you see is one esteemed politician and one orange potato head. Trump was in the middle of a rant about California when, like a particularly foul odor, this nickname surfaced.

The problem for Trump is that this nickname is awful, and it’s so pathetic that even many in the media are reporting how “childish” Trump is being. But Trump’s idea may have backfired anyway.

CBS13’s analyst Gary Dierich explained that Newsom’s profile would be raised with this nickname, raising his stock within the Democratic Party. New-scum. What an absurd name. Can one actually BELIEVE this man (Trump) is an adult?
