Trump boasts 14K manufacturing jobs were added in PA in his first three years. He doesn't explicitly mention that they have all been lost in the fourth year and that the total is now lower than it has been in decades, but adds, "We'll catch all of those jobs that were lost." https://t.co/4Tgm7txrqv — PolitiTweet.org

Trump with his usual complete nonsense: "The only way they're gonna win is by a rigged election. I really believe that. I saw the crowd outside." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: "In New Jersey, 20% of the ballots were defective, fraudulent." He is talking about *one city council election in Paterson, New Jersey,* not the whole state, in which there is suspected fraud and about 20% of ballots were rejected for one reason or another. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says Biden always says he was born in Scranton, but Biden actually left as a child (Biden does not hide this). Trump says, "I view it differently: he wasn't born here, he ABANDONED Scranton." He concedes, "His family had something to do with that." — PolitiTweet.org

Crime is not up "368%" in New York City, though there has been a big spike in shootings (up 177% in July over a year prior); Trump took one particularly bad week, where shootings were up 200+% from the same week a year prior, and kept exaggerating it. https://t.co/6a4o0JvmfC — PolitiTweet.org

Trump tells his story about how Obama thought there would be a war with North Korea and without him, Trump, that war would've happened, and tens of millions would've died. (All we know is that Obama told Trump something like that North Korea was one of the toughest problems.) — PolitiTweet.org

Trump falsely says he just saw a report that Biden hasn't taken questions from reporters since July 17. Biden did a formal press conference-style event on July 28, sat down with Black and Latino journalists in early August, has taken assorted other questions. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump falsely says his nonsense that Democrats want to "abolish the suburbs," then exaggerates by saying Cuomo abolished cash bail in New York. (It was ended for some offenses but kept for most violent crimes.) — PolitiTweet.org

As part of a scaremongering segment, Trump warns people that Democrats want to put up windmills (wind turbines) and you'll look out your window and see a "big monster churning." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says the Green New Deal, which proposes massive investments in environmental initiatives, would cause "debt and death." He does not explain the "death" part. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump starts in Pennsylvania by talking about all he's had to go through and then making his usual false claim that Obama was caught spying on his campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump campaign has sent out advance excerpts of his speech attacking Biden. Many of the prepared claims are false or misleading. Most of Trump's dishonesty is ad-libbed. In campaign season, though, more lying gets written into his texts. This also happened in the midterms. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's Trump's public schedule for today. The 3 PM "remarks" near Scranton, Pennsylvania is a speech attacking Biden. (Public schedules don't include all of a president's activities.) https://t.co/0trfPmhFJg — PolitiTweet.org

No and no. Harris criticized Biden during the primary for some past comments and positions related to race, but she began by saying, “I do not believe you are a racist.” Harris also didn’t call Biden incompetent. https://t.co/xHsteyEnD4 — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the official transcript of Trump suggesting Goodyear workers could just go get some other good job because the US has set a jobs “record.” It’s been a “record gain” of 9 million if you ignore that this follows a record loss of 22 million. July unemployment rate: 10.2%. https://t.co/at52k6ieCw — PolitiTweet.org

I'm listening closely to the Democrats. But there's just, factually, way less to do. No doubt in part because there's a lot of generalities/biography stuff/subjective opinion. But it's just not even in the same universe as listening to Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

A common response to Trump's lying is "well, they all lie." I think it's important to note how asymmetrical the lying is. You have hours of numerous Democrats speaking with no objectively false claims. It's rare to get ten minutes falseness-free from this president. — PolitiTweet.org

Almost nothing to fact check tonight, but one little thing - the Obama OT rule Hilda Solis mentioned *would've* extended OT to 4 million people, but it didn't actually go into effect; judge ruled against it in Nov. 2016, Trump admin dropped appeal. https://t.co/PWGia9nYJT — PolitiTweet.org
