Trump said "absentee" ballots, "like in Florida," is very good, but "other than that," mail voting is "very, very bad." Florida doesn't even have an absentee category anymore. It's all called "vote-by-mail." Trump is a mail voter. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump repeated various versions of his vivid lies that fraud is widespread with mail-in voting, baselessly calling it a "scam." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump said NC Gov. Roy Cooper told him, and he doesn't think Cooper will deny this, that the most people Trump would've been allowed at a full Charlotte RNC was 10 people in a 19,000-seat arena. Through his spokesman, Cooper denied this to me in July. https://t.co/LesnXtep3t — PolitiTweet.org

In summary, Trump began the Republican convention by repeating a bunch of his favorite lies. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump then falsely claimed that the $28 billion in tariff money given to farmers was paid by China. That's money paid by Americans. (American importers make the actual tariff payments, and study after study has shown Americans are bearing the overwhelming portion of the cost.) — PolitiTweet.org

Trump then touted the "alll-time record" jobs number of the last three months, which is hugely misleading: it's a record gain of 9 million after a record loss of 22 million over the previous two months. He then baselessly said this is hopefully the "final phase" of the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

In the first few minutes of his first RNC speech, Trump falsely claimed Obama and Biden personally spied on his campaign, that it's not possible to tabulate a lot of mail ballots, and that women had been at a record unemployment rate pre-pandemic (close but no). — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's first words to the RNC: "If you want to really drive 'em crazy, you say 12 more years. Because we caught them doing some really bad things in 2016...we caught 'em doing some really bad things, we have to be very careful, because they're trying it again..." — PolitiTweet.org

Basically: companies publicize their education and training plans to the White House; the White House takes partial credit; the president himself turns these pledged “education and training opportunities” into “jobs” personally “created” by his daughter. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump repeated his false claim that Ivanka “created 15 million jobs.” As the website for Ivanka’s initiative makes clear, these are not “jobs.” They’re “education and training opportunities” promised by companies. Many for existing employees; many unrelated to the initiative. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump to Hannity on the presidency: “If you are not at the top of your game, it’s not going to be a pretty picture. It’s like: chess masters. And if you are not a great chess master, you’re gonna have a problem." — PolitiTweet.org
