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.

This time, Alec Baldwin didn’t even need orange makeup in order to humiliate Donald Trump. The actor, who regularly lampoons Trump on Saturday Night Live, decided to rip into him via Twitter on Sunday evening. Tweeting from his Alec Baldwin Foundation account, he condemned Donald Trump for being an “amoral, witless thug” and ripped into Trump’s GOP accomplices in Congress as well.

Posting in a series of tweets from his verified @ABFalecbaldwin account starting here, Alec Baldwin let loose with the following criticisms of Donald Trump:

Trump signals to the leadership of the House/Senate w a wink, “Relax. It’s all good.” No vetting, no rules. “They can’t touch us now.”

Trump signals to Ryan/McConnell to check their conscience at the door. “Don’t overthink it. Just take. We won. No one can stop us now.”

Trump signals to the American ppl, “You hate politics? Sure, I get it. Just look the other way. Fire up the grill. Have a beer. I got this.”

Ryan + especially McConnell have waited 4 some1 like Trump all their lives. An amoral, witless thug who will do anything 4 power.
Like them.

The mutual dislike and disrespect between Alec Baldwin and Donald Trump has been palpable for some time, with Baldwin openly mocking Trump at every turn, and Trump sometimes watching Saturday Night Live just so he can complain about Baldwin’s portrayal of him on Twitter. But unlike Trump, it turns out Baldwin has a sophisticated and accurate understanding of the political landscape as it stands.
