Donald Trump ruthlessly destroys the lives of three more of his loyalists

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.

We’ve seen how Donald Trump treats people he doesn’t like. He’s gone on maliciously false Twitter rampages about respected people who have simply gotten in his way. He’s fired good people on phony grounds just to prevent them from investigating his crimes. He took away the pension of an FBI official just to be a prick. But this is all nothing compared to the way Trump treats his friends and loyalists.

Perhaps we should omit the word “friends” and just stick to “loyalists,” because a sociopathic malignant narcissist like Trump doesn’t have friends. He simply has people around him he can use and abuse. Then the minute he concludes he can gain more by destroying them than by keeping them around, he doesn’t hesitate. Just ask the three loyalists whose lives he just finished destroying.

There’s Michael Cohen, who has long been described as being “like a son” to Donald Trump, which is only accurate in the sense that Trump doesn’t about his sons either. Right now the front page of the National Enquirer is saying horrible things about Cohen, which is only a big deal when you realize it’s because Trump made it happen. That’s right, now that the Feds are targeting Cohen as a way of exposing Trump’s crimes, Trump is suddenly trying to destroy Cohen’s reputation. Then there are Trump’s two most recent doctors.

Donald Trump ruined the reputation of White House Doctor Ronny Jackson by apparently using the skeletons in Jackson’s closet to coerce him into faking the results of a physical. Then Trump finished Jackson off with a VA nomination which, in hindsight, appears to have been little more than an attempt at falsely scandalizing Democratic Senator Jon Tester. Trump also got Dr. Harold Bornstein to ruin his reputation by falsely declaring Trump to be in perfect health during the election. Bornstein just revealed that Trump’s henchmen raided his office and seized medical records shortly after Trump took office. If any of Trump’s other loyalists think it’s a two-way street, they should just look around at the people Trump is now leaving for dead.
