Cowardly Donald Trump can’t even show his face as he wages war on women and birth control

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.

In a stunning move today, yet one that doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention to Donald Trump for the past two years, he and his administration moved to make it easier for employers to keep birth control out of the hands of employees. It’s arguably Trump’s most blatantly anti-woman move to date – and like the coward that he is, he can’t even bring himself to speak or show his face today.

Trump has tweeted nothing, said nothing, done nothing today. He’s essentially gone into hiding. Part of that is because the latest job report this morning revealed that he’s completed screwed up the roaring economy he inherited, and because he’s stuck in a humiliating feud with his own Secretary of State. But he’s also in hiding because he knows how unpopular, unconstitutional, sexist, and just plain cruel this birth control decision truly is.

Trump has never spent a legitimate moment in a church in his entire life, and he couldn’t care less about the religious arguments involved. But because he hitched himself to the Republican Party when he entered politics, he ended up adopting conservative anti-woman positions across the board. Not that he’s ever understood the positions he’s embraced. During the course of the campaign he stated five different and conflicting positions on abortion. Yet many conservative Christian churchgoers were willing to vote for him anyway, even though it was clear he didn’t truly care about the issue, because they’re just that brainwashed to believe that women need to be controlled.

There’s a fate even worse than a mentally unstable career criminal like Donald Trump being in power. He’s falling apart and he’ll be gone soon. The real nightmare is that putting him in office has handed power to the social conservatives who don’t get America, who don’t understand humanity, and who sure as hell don’t have any connection to the Christian religion they pretend to embrace. Trump has been the devil all along. Now his devil worshipping minions are trying to enforce their “religious” evil on the rest of us. It’s time to fight back.
