Basically, much of Trumpworld appears to see extreme exaggeration as no-lose: 1) lots of people believe the lie; 2) if the lie is corrected, they can turn the correction into an example of media bias - accusing the correcters of being hatefully blind to some different point. — PolitiTweet.org

This is another part of the Trumpworld dishonesty game: Make wildly exaggerated claim (“the entire city is ablaze all the time”); when people point out the exaggeration, accuse them of missing some underlying point that is not what was said (“oh lol so SOME fires are okay?”) https://t.co/MtjYhIqOCG — PolitiTweet.org

Trump has required the creation of a new species of presidential fact check in which you have to drag in some unsuspecting entity to correct him - the Boy Scouts, the Babe Ruth Museum, Portland Fire & Rescue, the government of Sweden. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s just not even close to true that “the entire city is ablaze all the time.” Portland fire department says protests with fire have been in an isolated pocket of the city; no fire has required more than 1 engine; most have been in dumpsters, trash cans: https://t.co/XOEHgNf32d — PolitiTweet.org

@JayCaruso One cannot denounce an action? That seems extremely obviously false. Like people regularly denounce the wearing of cargo shorts without specifically identifying each dude who wears cargo shorts. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes of course - my sincere apologies on that slip. My earpiece popped out mid-thought right there, and I got a little flustered for a second. https://t.co/M1wCxsN3hC — PolitiTweet.org

Ingraham's interjection is spectacular to watch. She's like a Trump press aide leaping into the shot to intervene, except she's nominally the interviewer. https://t.co/xWQOndYkJS — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the transcript of Trump likening police officers who shoot civilians in the back to golfers who miss clutch putts...and Fox's Laura Ingraham trying to interject to save him from himself: https://t.co/pay00wYLw3 — PolitiTweet.org

Here's Trump's public schedule for tomorrow. (Public schedules don't include all of a president's activities.) https://t.co/S81mhBmbbO — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump tells Laura Ingraham that Portland has been burning for "years," "years and years of burning," then amends it to "decades." (This is all nonsense.) He says it's like "a city someplace in the world that's not so good" but that he won't name that not-so-good city. — PolitiTweet.org

@RemainaStudent @soledadobrien The president said the “entire city” is “ablaze all the time.” — PolitiTweet.org

Lt. Rich Chatman of the Portland fire department texts me just now: “WE ARE NOT ABLAZE IN PORTLAND. There is a very isolated pocket of demonstrations that have involved fire,” “none of which have been substantial enough to need more than 1 fire engine.” — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump today made false claims about the situations in Portland, Chicago and Kansas City (at least). From the Kansas City Star: https://t.co/QcijU7FM7a — PolitiTweet.org

Campbell continues that there obviously have been protests, some turning violent at night, but the rioting has largely been confined to a small district near the federal courthouse. Saying the “entire city” is ablaze is ridiculous. — PolitiTweet.org

.@joshscampbell in Portland: “Today, I went to a Starbucks downtown, ate lunch at one of the city's famous downtown food trucks, and bought a new pair of shoes at the mall. As I write this, I'm looking out of my hotel room at a bike tour riding by outside on the downtown street.“ — PolitiTweet.org
