Donald Trump has bizarre meltdown about dexamethasone

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.

Donald Trump appeared on camera tonight on the Tucker Carlson show, presumably to try to prove that he’s capable of staying upright long enough to do an interview. Trump wasn’t coughing like he had been when he called in to the Sean Hannity show the night before. But Trump’s answers weren’t exactly sharp tonight.

For instance, Fox News had its resident quack doctor ask Donald Trump about taking dexamethasone, a powerful steroid that can have strong and dangerous side effects. Trump’s response: “I didn’t even know what it was … I didn’t even know I had it.”

That’s right, Trump is so desperate to distance himself from dexamethasone, he’s now claiming that he didn’t even know doctors had given it to him. We knew it was just a matter of time before he started throwing his doctors under the bus. Trump also insisted that he was only taking dexamethasone because “it keeps the swelling down,” which is a lie, as he was clearly taking it to try to treat the coronavirus in his lungs.

When Trump was asked what coronavirus drugs he’s still taking, his response was cagey: “I think really nothing.” That’s not how you phrase things if the answer is indeed nothing. He thinks he’s no longer taking drugs? Come on. The guy is almost certainly still high as a kite on dexamethasone.
