What kind of clown show is this?

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.

Try to imagine, for a moment, the following scenario: President Obama’s personal assistant of two and a half years goes and tells secrets about the Obama family to reporters, and ends up getting banned from the White House for it. You can’t even picture it, can you? Obama wouldn’t hire someone like that to begin with, and if he did end up with someone rogue, that person wouldn’t have lasted that long.

Yet according to the New York Times, the above scenario is precisely what played out yesterday in Donald Trump’s White House. Now you can picture it, right? Of course Trump would hire someone this unprofessional to be his personal assistant. Of course such a person would skate by for two and a half years, saying and doing who-knows-what, before finally getting caught in the act. And of course Trump has had to ban one of his own top people from the White House. It’s not even the first time Trump has had to ban one of his own people from the White House.

But really, who would expect anything less? Donald Trump, the President of the United States, spent the week publicly ranting about bedbugs of all things – and at one point he actually accused a reporter of being a bedbug. Why wouldn’t Trump’s White House be running as a gossipy backbiting clown show full of people who think they’re on a reality show? After all, Trump hosted a reality show, and his White House adviser Omarosa was a reality show contestant; she was also ultimately banned from the White House.

Donald Trump has turned the White House into a dumpster fire, and the presidency into mush. He’s got immigrant kids locked in cages. He’s trying to murder sick immigrant kids by deporting them during their treatment. He’s knowingly tanking the economy because he can’t admit he was wrong. And on top of being the worst person in the world, he’s also the most amateur-hour incompetent buffoon in the world.
