What does this idiot Donald Trump even think he’s doing today?

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 decided to roll out a massive economic bailout plan this afternoon that was so poorly thought out, Wall Street shrugged it off and drove the stock market even lower. Even as Trump continues to blow it in the real world, it’s even more difficult to figure out what he thinks he’s doing on Twitter right now.

Trump just retweeted a Bloomberg Businessweek article with the headline “A Berlin Biotech Company Got a Head Start on Coronavirus Tests.” That’s great, except why is he bothering? Trump is continues to refuse to take the basic steps that would allow the United States to have access to a sufficient number of coronavirus tests.

Trump also wants us to know that “108 countries are dealing with the CoronaVirus problem, some of which we are helping!” Okay, fine, but this isn’t true, and what is he trying to tell us anyway? Of course this morning Trump was busy tweeting about the “the illegal attempted ‘coup’ of the duly elected President of the United States.” Maybe he really does think the coronavirus is a plot to get him out of office. This guy needs medical attention, of multiple varieties.
