There's a lot of nonsense in this transcript -- no basis to suggest PA's governor might cheat; official results *never* come on election night -- but Trump was clearly not saying "the Supreme Court is going to make me the winner," which is how people are interpreting the snippet. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Again: Trump's comments today about the Supreme Court are going viral out of context. Trump was sarcastically thanking the Court for supposedly delaying the announcement of a winner (this is ridiculous, but anyway), *not* saying the Court would hand him the win.

@TrumpCrimeFam1 You are totally free to not believe me, but it was pretty clear in the context of the speech. (And I’ve watched or read every word he’s said for the last five years) — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Sequence: Trump had asked the crowd, wouldn’t you like to know the winner on Nov. 3? Then suggested it’s Supreme Court’s fault we might not. Then sarcastically said “thank you very much, Supreme Court,” we might have to wait until “shortly thereafter” until we find out we win. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The context here: Trump had just been (wrongly) blaming the Court decisions for us not having a winner on Election Night - in this line, he was sarcastically saying, like, thank you very much Supreme Court, we’ll now have to wait. Wasn’t saying Court would make him president. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: "China wants me out, Iran wants me out, Germany wants me out, they all want me out. But here we are, right?" — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump tells his "Darling" Story about how he and Melania watched the news expecting to see his Nobel nomination but instead the news covered a hurricane, California wildfires that could've been prevented with better forest management, and then "something, like, for kids." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump boasts at length about his Nobel nominations, then says, "But they won't give it to me. No, they won't give it. They just - probably talk. But I heard it's an extraordinarily left organization. But if they do - somebody said, 'You definitely deserve 'em.' And that's true." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

More of the usual: Trump signed VA Choice (Obama did), presidents other than Obama leave 0 judicial vacancies (dozens or more), China flatlined for years before joining the WTO (fast growth), Black people remember how Biden called them superpredators (no record of him saying it). — PolitiTweet.org

This is a line in Trump's prepared text: "Under Biden, there will be no school, no graduations, no weddings, no Thanksgiving, no Christmas, no Easter, no Fourth of July." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump is repeating many of his usual false claims: we never used to win WTO cases before him (not even close to true), Pennsylvania is shut down (not even close to true), Biden wants to take away private health insurance (Biden has vocally rejected this approach), etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump: "I could name many countries that would like me to lose. You know they said that Germany...and I have a heritage with Germany, I mean, they should like me, but they like Obama much better, they should like Obama, there's no way they can like me, I said pay up." — PolitiTweet.org

The president touts groundless comments about Pennsylvania voter fraud from the Trafalgar pollster he calls "one of the best pollsters in the country," then says Biden wears sunglasses so you don't notice he's had plastic surgery. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says of his wife's coronavirus infection: "Our great First Lady tested positive. That's, uh - well, at least those rumors that we don't live together turned out to be false." He adds, "That's the only good thing about her testing positive." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

It turns out Biden repeated a version of his "high school" comment today: "The president likes to portray himself as a tough guy. When you were in high school, wouldn’t you have liked to take the shot? Anyway, that’s a different story." https://t.co/SCE7Yo6EyT — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

After fantasizing about delivering a "slight slap" to Biden -- this is nominally based on Biden saying in 2018 that if he was in high school he'd want to beat up Trump for Trump's comments about assaulting women -- Trump says, "Now they said, 'He's inciting violence!' No, no." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

A late-campaign addition to Trump's rally speeches is that he or someone else could easily push Biden to the ground, like Biden would fall over quickly if they tried. "A slight slap. You don't have to close...your fist," he just said in Pennsylvania. — PolitiTweet.org
