Asked about Biden's claim that he'll try to steal the election, Trump said, "Look, Joe's just not all there. Everybody knows it." He continued that "certainly if I don't win, I don't win. I mean, you know, go on and do other things," though it'd be "very sad" for our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the transcript of Trump's remarks on how Abraham Lincoln "did good, although it's always questionable, you know, in other words, the end result..." https://t.co/HhvlDqlYCU — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump wasn't clear about what he meant by "it's always questionable" whether Lincoln did good - he added, "You know, in other words, the end result." ??? After Faulkner interjected that "we are free," he repeated, "We are free," then said, "You understand what I mean." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says he did more "more for the black community than any other president," but will exclude Lincoln "'cause he did good, although it's always questionable, you know..." Harris Faulkner, who's Black, interjects, "We are free, Mr. President, so he did pretty well." — PolitiTweet.org

Asked again about consoling people, Trump returns again to how the real way to console is "toughness," defending people from riots and violence. "By being soft and weak, you end up not being compassionate." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked if "the law and order president can also be the consoler in chief," Trump said yes, since the law and order president can prevent situations like Seattle's from happening and can also defend people's safety. "Toughness is sometimes the most compassionate." — PolitiTweet.org

Asked if his June 19 rally date was intentional, Trump says no, but he knows what Harris Faulkner is going to say (about Juneteenth), and we can "Think of it as a celebration. My rally is a celebration." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: "I think the concept of chokehold sounds so innocent, so perfect" (?), but "generally speaking, it should be ended," but if it's a serious fight against a tough person, you might need it. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked about chokeholds, Trump says "I don't like chokeholds," but sometimes you get somebody who's "a real bad person," very "tough," and you're fighting them, "what are you gonna do now - let go?" — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked what kind of police reform he is actually in favor of, Trump says, "I want to see really compassionate but strong law enforcement, police force, but law enforcement, and I don't want to see mistakes." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Fox's Faulkner reminds Trump that there were not only rioters but peaceful protesters who are hurting, and asks what he thinks they need from him. He says some protesters "just didn't know" why they were there - they just couldn't explain, "they're following the crowd." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked in the pre-taped Fox interview, airing now, if he's the president to unite all of us right now, Trump says, "Well, I certainly think so and I certainly hope so." He says we first had "the plague" and then "the riots" -- skipping any mention of the cause of the protests. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked about Milley’s apology for his role in the photo-op, Trump said, “I think it was a beautiful picture. And I’ll tell ya, I think Christians think it was a beautiful picture.” (Some Christians have said so; others, including leaders of that church, have expressed outrage.) — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Responding on Fox News to Gen. Milley’s apology for participating in the church photo-op, Trump repeated his false claim that “we had no ammunition. We had no ammunition” when he took office. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the transcript of the president's thoughts on the need for police to use "force with compassion," though sometimes "real strength, real power"; compassionate domination of the streets; school choice; Veterans Choice (a lie); and value for money in real estate. https://t.co/FZ0BDg2ykI — PolitiTweet.org

@original1ny Aw! Breezy is very quiet, but she does bark sometimes. She barks when other dogs come into “her territory,” when a stranger comes into our apartment, or sometimes a single little bark to get our attention. — PolitiTweet.org

That was from the first excerpt of Trump's interview with Fox News's Harris Faulkner, who had asked him about police reform; he said police have to be properly trained and do right, then returned to his usual defense of police. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says people see the disgraceful Floyd killing and "start saying well, are all police like that? They don’t know. Maybe they don’t think about it that much. It doesn’t make any difference. The fact is they start saying, well, police are like that. Police aren’t like that.” — PolitiTweet.org
