When asked what he meant when he falsely claimed "religion will be gone" under Biden, Trump cited pandemic restrictions on churches operating...then, because, claimed he's the one who got the Veterans Choice program Obama signed into law in 2014. https://t.co/dKp5Tb5LmW — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says we shouldn't change the names of Confederate-named military bases because that's from where "we won two world wars, two world wars, beautiful world wars, that were vicious and horrible." — PolitiTweet.org

I deleted my previous tweet that wrongly said Wallace gave Trump the last word on this - they returned to the subject when the document arrived. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump summoned an aide to bring him the Sanders-Biden task force document he insisted to Wallace proposed defunding and abolishing police...then, failing to find it, said, "This thing is many pages long." https://t.co/srwLLx3Ljq — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Unlike in the promo, the transcript of the full interview has Wallace giving Trump a last word on whether the Biden-Sanders task force called for abolishing police. In the promo, Wallace explained that Trump couldn't find evidence in the document he got an aide to bring. https://t.co/auEZWCrLfL — PolitiTweet.org

Some promises Trump has made - July 1: Minimum wage statement within 2 weeks (nope) - July 7: Good shape with the pandemic in 2-4 weeks - July 16: "Bold" PPE announcement within 2 weeks - July 17: Health care plan signed within 2 weeks — PolitiTweet.org

Wallace: "Whether it’s in 2021 or 2025, how will you regard your years as President of the United States?" Trump: "I think I was very unfairly treated." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: People who oppose me "know I’m doing a good job, but there’s something in my personality that they don’t like, because look, nobody’s done what I’ve done." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump: "The enthusiasm for Biden is nonexistent." Wallace: "But the enthusiasm against you is high." Trump: "Well that’s OK. That’s his only shot." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Wallace told Trump he still doesn't have an Obamacare replace plan after 3 yrs. Trump: "Well, we haven't had. Excuse me...We're signing a health care plan within two weeks, a full and complete health care plan that the Supreme Court decision on DACA gave me the right to do." ??? — PolitiTweet.org

Wallace told Trump that he also took the cognitive test and it's not very hard. Trump sharply objected: "... the first few questions are easy, but I'll bet you couldn't even answer the last five questions. I'll bet you couldn't, they get very hard, the last five questions." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Wallace told Trump that a Fox News poll has him losing by eight to Biden and trailing on the coronavirus, race relations, even by one point on the economy. Trump: "First of all, I'm not losing, because those are fake polls." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump when asked about renaming bases now named for Confederates: "We’re going to name it after the Reverend Al Sharpton? What are you going to name it, Chris, tell me what you’re going to name it? " — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Chris Wallace told Trump that the military is in favor of (either the defense spending bill or renaming bases named for Confederates - it wasn't exactly clear in the transcript). Trump: "I don’t care what the military says. I do – I’m supposed to make the decision." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump on the Confederate flag: "When people – when people proudly have their Confederate flags, they’re not talking about racism. They love their flag, it represents the south, they like the south. People right now like the south." — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Wallace told Trump that federal funding for education mostly goes to disadvantaged students (Title I and special education); he asked why Trump wouldn't send more money to help reopening, rather than threaten less. Trump: "Chris, let the schools open." — PolitiTweet.org

RT @mkraju: Trump blaming his public health experts for the false statements he’s been making for months. “Everybody thought in the summer… — PolitiTweet.org

Trump continued: "We go out and we look and then on the news...you'll see 'cases are up.' Cases are up -- many of those cases shouldn't even be cases." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Chris Wallace, sharply challenging Trump's It's Just Testing narrative, told him, "testing is up 37 percent...Cases are up 194 percent." Trump: "Many of those cases are young people that would heal in a day. They have the sniffles and we put it down as a test." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Wallace pressed Trump on why his White House is trying to discredit Fauci. Trump deceptively denied it. Wallace then noted Scavino is trying to portray Fauci as an alarmist. Trump: "He's a little bit of an alarmist. That's OK. A little bit of an alarmist." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Chris Wallace told Trump that this isn't "embers" as he keeps claiming, this is a "forest fire." Trump: "No, no. But I don't say -- I say 'flames,' we'll put out the flames. And we'll put out in some cases just burning embers. We also have burning embers." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Chris Wallace pressed Trump on how he wrongly claimed the virus would just disappear. Trump: "I'll be right eventually. I will be right eventually." — PolitiTweet.org

For those new to this tale: Trump did a speech at a GOP dinner in Michigan in 2013 and was given some thank-you gifts...and then, campaigning in Michigan two days before the 2016 vote, started claiming he got the (nonexistent) state Man of the Year award. https://t.co/rnJqbwHMzn — PolitiTweet.org

Here's how Trump explained on his Michigan "tele-rally" why it is not an in-person rally. https://t.co/jEyMpp1HR7 — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Yes, this is one of my very favorite Trump lies. Here's an article about it. https://t.co/rnJqbwHMzn https://t.co/KtuP0P1Qcx — PolitiTweet.org

Trump told his Michigan "tele-rally" tonight that he was named Michigan's Man of the Year 10 years ago, though he has very obviously never been named Michigan's Man of the Year. — PolitiTweet.org
