Dear Palmer Report readers,
We all understand what a dark era we're heading into. Journalists will be prosecuted. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. Advertising networks can't be counted on. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight, because someone has to.
In that regard we're looking to start funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens or how dark things get. We've launched a reader supported fund, and we've already raised $785 and counting. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can contribute here. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Bill Palmer

Four days ago Palmer Report reported that after Donald Trump found himself unable to book A-list musical talent for his inauguration, he ended up settling for a Bruce Springsteen tribute band instead. But after facing controversy over the decision, the tribute band announced today that they’re canceling on Trump.
The leader of the “B-Street Band” had expressed concern late last week that the real Bruce Springsteen, with whom the tribute band appears to have a cordial relationship, might be offended at the decision. After all, Springsteen has famously rejected Donald Trump as being unfit for office. And now the tribute band put out a statement saying that “Our decision [to cancel] is based solely on the respect and gratitude we have for Bruce and the E Street Band.”
This means Donald Trump has now been turned down by everyone from Elton John to Garth Brooks to Andrea Bocelli to Celine Dion — as well as a Springsteen cover band.
