New York Attorney General Tish James gets the best of Donald Trump again

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.

Donald Trump clearly knows or suspects something that the rest of us don’t, when it comes to the New York Attorney General’s ongoing investigation into Trump’s criminal scandals. For the second day in a row Trump has woken up and frantically begun attacking the government of New York, in an attempt at muddying the waters before the state can roll out whatever it’s seemingly about to do to him. The thing is, it’s not working.

This morning Trump posted this surreal meltdown: “People are fleeing New York like never before. If they own a business, they are twice as likely to flee. And if they are a victim of harassment by the A.G. of the state, like what they are doing to our great NRA, which I think will move quickly to Texas, where they are loved. Texas will defend them & indemnify them against political harassment by New York State and Governor Cuomo. So many people are leaving New York for Texas and Florida that it is totally under siege. First New York taxes you too high, then they sue you, just to complete the job.”

For the second day in a row, Trump failed to include the name of the New York Attorney General, suggesting that he’s either too afraid of Tish James to speak her name, or he truly doesn’t know what her name is. Yesterday, James responded by spelling out her identity for him. Today, she fired back with this: “Sorry for not responding to your tweet earlier, Mr. President. We were a little busy standing up for the true values of our nation, and fighting for liberty & justice for all. We’re glad the #2020Census will begin printing without a citizenship question. Enjoy your 4th of July.”

That’s right. Not only is New York Attorney General Tish James preparing some kind of massive criminal case against Donald Trump, which Trump thinks is coming down any minute, she’s trolling him over the failure of his scheme to rig the 2020 census. James means business, and whatever she has up her sleeve, it has Trump on his toes already.
