Donald Trump’s latest press conference is a toxic waste dump of maniacal madness

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 said he wasn’t doing a press conference today. Then he found out Joe Biden was doing a live press briefing at 7:00pm, so Trump decided he needed to hold a press conference at – you guessed it – 7:00pm. We’re just a few minutes into it, and this is already just… how to even describe it?

Trump started off by viciously attacking the Governor of Illinois. Then he quickly pivoted to inaccurately promoting hydroxychloroquine as a safe and approved micacle cure for coronavirus, when in fact hydroxychloroquine is a drug with potentially fatal side effects that hasn’t been properly tested for coronavirus. Trump also tried to promote the popular antibiotic azithromycin as a coronavirus cure, but he ended up calling it “aritzomyicin” before stopping himself and then calling it “aritzomyicin” again.

We don’t even know what we’re watching. This is a toxic waste dump of lunacy, full of dangerous false information, and akin to an highly unfunny parody. We recommend you watch Joe Biden’s live event instead.
