"It's been an amazing achievement, the testing." It was a catastrophic failure in the key early stage, is still plagued with severe problems, and the US only has to do so many more tests than other countries now because those countries did better at the outset. — PolitiTweet.org

"Testing has been incredible, what we've been able to do." — PolitiTweet.org

"The recent rise in cases has not been accompanied by a significant increase in deaths." Deaths haven't reached the levels of the early peaks, but they have spiked - back above 1,000 per day from a low around 500. Per @COVID19Tracking: https://t.co/Cvpta9uIFr — PolitiTweet.org

Trump on the virus: "We're seeing indications that our strong mitigation efforts are working. Very well, actually." He adds, "The numbers are getting very good." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump didn't seem confident in calling the explosion an "attack." It seemed like an ad-lib he added at the end of his prepared remarks, and he said it kind of haltingly. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says he'll talk soon about the response to the "China virus," but first he has some "rather spectacular" economic numbers to talk about. — PolitiTweet.org

"It looks like a terrible - attack," Trump says of the Lebanon explosion, though no public evidence has emerged to suggest it was an "attack." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump begins by sending "America's deepest sympathies to the people of Lebanon, where reports indicate that many, many people were killed." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump on why he wanted a big Tulsa crowd: “Well, because that area was a very good area at the time. It was an area that was pretty much over." Tulsa health chief days before the rally: "Covid is not over. Covid is here. It’s transmitting very efficiently in our community." https://t.co/oQoBJWsE1p — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a 20th false claim I missed: Trump claimed the pandemic was “pretty much over” in Tulsa before he had his rally there. https://t.co/yzwgo2Qxl0 — PolitiTweet.org

@EvilWilma Thank you! I missed that one. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump made at least 19 false claims in a 35-minute interview even while getting repeatedly challenged on some of them. He is efficient. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump made at least 19 false claims in his HBO interview with Jonathan Swan. (This is a preliminary count, will likely rise.) My fact check here: https://t.co/K1YcszCQ6p — PolitiTweet.org

Jonathan Swan reveals the magic way to expose Trump’s lies: ask him follow-up questions. https://t.co/K1YcszCQ6p — PolitiTweet.org

A key thing for journalists trying to deal with Trump and other liars: slowing down the game. The faster they can talk, the faster they can change the subject, the better for them. A key tool in journalists’ arsenal is the confidence to assertively say, “Hold on a second.” — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

We have passed the six-month anniversary of Trump first lying that the virus is "under control"...and he's still lying that it's under control. https://t.co/RjuOVi5PQ4 — PolitiTweet.org

Here is the clip. Trump complained at length to Axios that Lester Holt's NBC Nightly News did not show a thing it actually showed. https://t.co/80nYN8jFbW — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump claimed NBC News falsely portrayed Portland's mayor's protest visit by failing to show he was opposed by protesters. A line from the NBC item: "Wheeler, who`s also Portland`s police commissioner, was booed by protesters, who criticized his leadership of Portland`s police." — PolitiTweet.org

Swan: "Taking your relationship with him out of it, do you find his story impressive, what he's done for this country?" Trump: "He was a person that devoted a lot of energy and a lot of heart to civil rights. But there were many others also." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Swan on John Lewis: "Do you find him impressive?" Trump (long pause): "Uhh...I can't say one way or the other. I find a lot of people impressive. I find many people not impressive. But no. But I didn't know - he didn't come to my inauguration." https://t.co/h0hzw64b9u — PolitiTweet.org
