Jack Smith is right about televising the Donald Trump trial
Donald Trump’s attorneys are now pushing to get his January 6th federal criminal trial televised. This isn’t really a thing when it comes to federal criminal trials, so it’s not clear if Team Trump is actually trying to get it televised, or is merely instead making this filing so Trump can play victim to his…
Read MoreThe media’s criminal dereliction
To hear some Republicans tell the story, Joe Biden’s first term is an unqualified disaster. They employ hot button words like “corruption,” “inflation,” “gas prices,” “the economy,” and the ever-popular “Hunter Biden.” Then, of course, there’s the incessant attacks on Biden’s age, as if Donald Trump was some kind of spring chicken. Of course the…
Read MoreThis is just a special kind of stupid
This story is about stupidity. It’s about certain people who, sadly for them, were not given the gift of intellectual curiosity. They were born perhaps without all brain cells working as they should. How else to explain the absurd and, in its way, hysterically amusing stance that many a republican are taking after their Tuesday…

Meet The Press host Kristen Welker is now lying about what even happened this week
With about a week left before the November 2023 elections, the available data and trends spelled out that it was increasingly likely that the Democratic Party would sweep all of the competitive elections: Kentucky Governor, Ohio referendum, and the Virginia State Senate and House of Delegates. The media largely refused to admit that the Democrats…
Read MoreThe fallout from that disastrous Republican debate just got even uglier
Politicians often masquerade as something other than politicians. Sometimes this masquerade includes the title of actors. Not the type of actors that star in movies. But when appearing on national television, it is to political candidates’ advantage to talk to the American people, to try to connect to them, and to answer questions with courage…
Read MoreDonald Trump’s name is being removed from a major hotel
Even as Donald Trump’s financial house of cards has continued to collapse, and his brand name has become toxic, his name still remains on a number of buildings for pure licensing reasons. But that number just dropped by one. Hilton has run the “Trump International Hotel” in Waikiki, Hawaii, since 2009. But in a long…
Read MoreMore good news for Joe Biden
In May, I wrote about how the Biden-Harris administration was citing “tremendous progress” with rebuilding America’s infrastructure in the 18 months since President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Now, just six months later, the White House has come out swinging, announcing “historic progress” ahead of the two-year anniversary of that law. Already, nearly $400…
Read MoreThe game is afoot
This week the Democrats dominated the 2023 election cycle, just like we here at Palmer Report predicted. But as of today it’s officially the start of the 2024 election cycle – and nothing else matters but winning, because the stakes are too high. Palmer Report has led the way in political analysis for years. Now…
Read MoreLooks like the Democrats just picked up a House seat in Louisiana
Once the U.S. Supreme Court made the surprising but correct decision to strike down racial gerrymandering, it became clear that several majority-Black House districts would be created in southern states. Republican state governments may not have liked the ruling, but there’s no such thing as magically ignoring a U.S. Supreme Court ruling. Nor is there…
Read MoreSNL mocks Donald Trump’s worsening senility
Donald Trump’s senility has been growing steadily more severe for about three years now. Anyone who paid close attention to his occasional appearances was able to see it. But now that he’s appearing in public more often, it’s becoming more obvious to everyone. Well, almost everyone. The media is only willing to mention Trump’s senility…
Read MoreDonald Trump goes bizarrely off script, whines “you screwed up my whole day!”
Donald Trump isn’t running for President. He’s pretending to run for President so that his gullible supporters will give money to his basically imaginary 2024 campaign, so that he can use that money to pay his legal bills as he’s nudged closer to prison. Even Trump now seems to be admitting that his fake campaign…
Read MoreDonald Trump is ready for his close up
“The prosecution wishes to continue this travesty in darkness.” These words come from Donald Trump’s attorneys. They’re seeking cameras in the courtroom for Donald Trump’s federal election fraud trial. “President Trump calls for sunlight.” Right. Could you spare me the melodrama? Donald Trump never wants sunlight. He’d like darkness. He’d like everyone to be as…

Unhinged Donald Trump spends Veteran’s Day attacking a military General
Veteran’s Day. A time of appreciation, a time of remembrance. A time to thank those brave people who fought for America and for Freedom.A time to be repulsed by Donald John Trump yet again. Donald Trump was doing a rally when things got complicated — and vicious. Although Trump thanked our veterans, he then appeared…

Donald Trump has utterly psychotic meltdown about Veteran’s Day
Donald Trump has a consistent habit of melting down in particularly deranged fashion on holidays. It’s as if he sees everyone else preparing to observe a holiday, realizes he’s too sociopathic to feel such things, and instead lashes out in resentment. Today is Veteran’s Day, and unsurprisingly, Trump is having one of his ugliest meltdowns…
Read MoreDonald Trump has “no idea where he is”
Palmer Report has been documenting Donald Trump’s gradually worsening senility for the better part of three years. But now that his senility is reaching extreme and alarming levels, everyone is talking about it (except the media). Congressman Eric Swalwell hit the nail on the head: . Donald Trump is not a guy who’s simply misspeaking,…
Read MoreSenile Donald Trump makes clear that he’s ready to be hauled away as he now thinks Obama is still President
Donald Trump is senile. This is about as controversial of a statement as the sky is blue. Yet even as an overwhelmingly dementia-riddled Trump has spent 2023 coming off worse and worse, the media is still just barely willing to talk about his senility. But the media is going to have a hard time ignoring…

Looks like Donald Trump is getting taken down by his Mar-a-Lago maid
When you steal classified documents and hide them in your home, and the Feds find out, you can expect everyone in your home to end up becoming a government witness against you. After all, they have a legal requirement to testify about felonies they’ve witnessed you committing. This brings us to Donald Trump’s maid. Jack…
