This isn’t going to be pretty

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.

Imagine this scenario: a group of people sit in a cozy grotto. Grottos, by the way, are natural or artificial caves, and the word started in ancient Greece. So there you are! You’re feeling comfy and cozy in the cave when all of a sudden — all of a sudden, this little Grotto starts to flood with water.

Most people would spring up, running from the Grotto as fast as their legs could carry them. The GOP would sit there and cheerfully welcome the water to come on in and rise as high as it wants.

I say this because the GOP is drowning right now, and they do not even know it. This, of course, is because of their Messiah — Donald Trump. The GOP has NO idea what is coming down the pike for them. Donald Trump’s first criminal trial starts next month. The others will follow. He is destroyed financially.

But there’s more. Let’s say Donald Trump is the GOP nominee. Let’s just imagine a scenario where that happens. I almost want it to. Why? Because of the kind of campaign Trump would run.

Let’s also imagine that somehow, some way, a debate between President Biden and Trump happens. Can one imagine the train wreck that would follow, on that stage?

If one remembers back to Trump’s last debate against Biden, one will remember it wasn’t really a debate. It was a human shitshow where Trump would not stop yelling and screaming while the moderator; Chris Wallace made feeble attempts to stop him.

It would be a thousand times worse now. So, let us pretend to be the audience. There they are, up on stage. They are asked about NATO.

You KNOW — because of cause he would — that Donald Trump, in front of millions of televisions, would endorse Putin invading NATO countries. I mean — can one IMAGINE the shrieks of horror?

Then there’s abortion. Trump has no answer on that topic. Word is he is mulling over a 16-week abortion, but who knows if he’d be so inclined to SAY that? It would be babel — lots of babel from Trump. Let’s talk about health care! Yes, Trump would talk about throwing millions off their health care.

He’d likely say something like this: “But Donald Trump, your favorite President, has a better plan, the best, everybody says so.”

Then, he would provide no further detail. On and on the Trump merry-go-round would go, with a loony Trump (let’s not forget his mental decline) talking out of his ass, perhaps talking about nonliquid gold money (corn) and magnifying glasses and calling Joe Biden, Jeb Bush, or Nikki Haley or whatever name enters his deranged thoughts.

It would be most worth it to see THAT. So, back to the beginning. The oblivious Grotto dwellers have no idea that their peace and comfort are about to be disturbed — very disturbed by the candidate from hell. Whatever will the poor buggers do?
