Told you Trump’s Chick-Fil-A visit was a setup

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.

When Donald Trump waddled into a Chick-Fil-A in Atlanta this past week and feebly ordered milkshakes for customers, the whole thing felt more than a little off. Not one customer in the restaurant seemed to have a problem with Trump being there at all. Even in a place like Chick-Fil-A, what were the odds that 100% of the people inside just happened to be pro-Trump?

We said the whole thing felt like one big setup. Now it’s starting to look like precisely that. It turns out the “random” customer who hugged Trump was instead a Republican consultant with strong ties to the Georgia GOP. What are the odds that she just randomly happened to be eating in the same Chick-Fil-A that Trump happened to walk into?

In other words, it’s pretty obvious that Trump’s attempt at a viral moment – walking into a restaurant and getting a hug from a Black woman who happened to be eating there – was indeed staged. This raises additional questions about what all else was staged about the visit. When it comes to Trump, these things are simply never authentic.
