“What the hell is wrong with the guy?”

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.

On Tuesday, while Kamala Harris traveled to Detroit, President Biden appeared at a City Committee Dinner in Philadelphia where he was at the top of his game. He might not be in the race for president any longer, but that’s exactly what makes him more of a threat to Donald Trump than he was before. He’s able to throw as hard as he likes and Trump lacks the self-discipline to avoid responding to what his former opponent has to say. He even still seems to think he’s running against President Biden still, if he’s not running against President Obama.

He also got the last laugh – that despite the tired debate performance he gave this summer – there’s not really much of an excuse for whatever the hell happened at Trump’s Pennsylvania town hall where he cut the event off early and just started playing the same song over and over again – asking “What the hell is wrong with the guy?” He seemed to give the media a path to what they should be talking about – as he questioned Trump’s mental state – something that Kamala Harris has begun to address in recent rally events.

He also spoke of Harris’ campaign and the media’s latest concern trolling about what kind of president she’ll be – and this was where he was strongest – affirming her loyalty while acknowledging that like him, she will form her own path as president. He then made a solid contrast between his veep and her opponent: Trump has views on race from the 1930s, economic views from the 1920s, and views on gender from the 1950s. When we say “we’re not going back,” this is what the Harris campaign means – we’re moving forward while Trump is stuck begrudgingly in the past. This is why we need to run up the score and elect Kamala Harris on Nov 5 with a Democratic trifecta.
