Too late now

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.

At the time of this writing, Donald Trump is still refusing to debate. His latest excuse shows his fear. Trump claims that October is far, far too late in the political game for a debate. He says people will have started voting by then and that it would be bad for the American people to see another debate.

The only problem with this excuse is that Donald HAS debated in October before in past elections. In fact, virtually every Presidential election has had an October debate. So, as you can see, this excuse makes little sense. Of course, WE know the real reason. Donnie’s afraid — he’s a little ball of fear, unable to face the laughing eyes of his opponent who would demolish him as quickly and gracefully as lifting a finger — and she’d do it all with a smile.

Therefore, little Don must resist and resist until—well, until he can’t anymore. There may come a day when he’s forced into it. His poll numbers are lousy, and his campaign has no ground game. So he might make another attempt. We know how THAT would go. In fact, Donald Trump is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. He’s in a maze created by his own political skills — or lack thereof.
