Trump tells a sir story about how a "highly overrated" general, who he's previously named as Mattis, initially told him sir we have "no ammunition." No idea what Mattis said, but the US was never ammunitionless; it had shortfalls of some precision bombs. https://t.co/50KpfRf3Ks — PolitiTweet.org

Trump repeats one of the most egregious lies of his lie-filled campaign, saying, as he tries to get all of Obamacare killed in court, that Biden is planning to destroy protections for pre-existing conditions. https://t.co/87hsNhSh0M — PolitiTweet.org

Might schedule this tweet for every night through November 2: Trump lies that he got the Veterans Choice program passed. https://t.co/itZlzN3Jvt — PolitiTweet.org

Trump falsely claims "we added nearly 600,000 manufacturing jobs." It was a gain of 483,000 before the pandemic crash. Through September, it's now a net loss of 164,000. Trump then falsely says Obama said "you'll never produce manufacturing jobs." Not even close to what he said. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says Biden refused to say the words "law and order" at the debate because "he'd be run out of his party." Except...Biden did say that; he said he wants "law and order with justice, where people get treated fairly." Trump adds that it doesn't count if you add extra stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump falsely claims Minnesota called the federal government to send in the National Guard after "10 days." Minnesota's governor activated the Guard two days after the first violent protests. https://t.co/NuO4ZE5L5f — PolitiTweet.org

Trump baselessly suggests there is an anti-Trump conspiracy to claim, now that he has had the coronavirus, that people who have had it are not immune for life. ("Once I got it, they give you four months.") We just don't know for sure, and we also didn't know before he got it. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump asks his rally crowd "who has had" the coronavirus. There are some shouts. He says, "Yeah, a lot of people. A lot of people." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: "My plan: we're gonna crush the virus very quickly. It's happening already. It's happening." https://t.co/fWRuI1vmSu — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump repeats his new line about how he has been told he's immune (we don't know that) and so he'll come kiss every man and woman in the crowd, though he won't get a lot of enjoyment from kissing the men. — PolitiTweet.org

"We're rounding the turn on the pandemic," Trump says based on nothing as cases rise again in states across the country. https://t.co/qWVjfUHQki — PolitiTweet.org

Trump segues from a false claim about Obama sending Ukraine mere "pillows," which he confusingly suggests is about NATO, to some commentary on how the MyPillow guy runs lots of TV ads and now sells sheets and not just pillows but anyway is a Trump supporter. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump repeats his usual litany of false claims about NATO: raised "$130 billion a year" (it's $130B total extra between 2016 and 2020), NATO countries were not "paying their bills" (not how it works), Obama sent them just "pillows" (that's a false claim about Ukraine, not NATO). — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump does his usual lie-shtick about how he just saw CNN's camera light go off right after he insulted CNN. CNN doesn't broadcast these rallies live, doesn't turn off its cameras when he insults CNN, and doesn't use any visible camera light when recording at rallies. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump repeats his lie that "Mexico is paying for the wall, by the way, you know that." White House declined to comment today when I asked them to explain how Mexico is paying. Trump campaign didn't respond. It's kind of wild Trump can just say this and get like no coverage. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump in full: "So I ask you to do me a favor. Suburban women: will you please like me? Please. Please. I saved your damn neighborhood, OK? The other thing: I don't have that much time to be that nice. You know, I can do it, but I gotta go quickly." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says he used to get "heat" for saying "suburban housewife" so now says "suburban women" even though nobody cares except the media, then adds they should like him because he killed an Obama-era anti-segregation rule. He concludes: "Suburban women: will you please like me?" — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is running down his now-standard list of nonexistent Biden policy positions, which I fact checked this morning. https://t.co/bZVbX54ND6 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump thanking his doctors: "One great thing about being president: if you're not feeling 100%, you have more doctors than you thought existed in the world. I was surrounded by like 14 of them." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says he "felt like Superman" after taking the Regeneron cocktail, "whatever the hell it was." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump keeps suggesting that the WHO came out and declared "Trump was right" about lockdowns. They didn't mention him in their statement, and he's exaggerating what they did say. https://t.co/5wYTjmeIwr — PolitiTweet.org

It's kind of a weird thing to fact check, but Trump constantly refers in passing to coal as "clean, beautiful coal." Nothing about coal is clean. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump trying to combat perceptions of Biden: "He's not a nice guy. Just so you understand. Not a nice guy. If he was a nice guy, I wouldn't hit him like this. But he's not a nice guy. He's a bad guy. He's always been a dummy...in his best of years, he was considered a dumb guy." — PolitiTweet.org

"They say he was born in Scranton. But he left. He left. He ABANDONED you. Give me a break," Trump says of Biden, who was indeed born in Scranton and then moved with his parents to Delaware when he was in elementary school. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

For the second straight rally, Trump says there is more pressure on him to win because Biden is the single worst presidential candidate of all time. He adds, "Can you imagine if you lose to a guy like this? It's unbelievable. It's disgusting." — PolitiTweet.org

This conspiracy article the president retweeted is so bonkers it is almost completely incomprehensible. Its author identifies as an “ex-Community Organizer” who is now “a Homeschool Mom in North Carolina.” https://t.co/rraDmzO0r7 — PolitiTweet.org
