Trump mocks Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey for being teary during a press conference about out-of-control protests. "The mayor can't cry in cases like that," he says. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says he was subjected to a "phony impeachment" that was "thrown out like dogs." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump mocks protesters for not doing social distancing: "They're the ones that are all claiming social distancing...and then they're jumping on top of each other by the thousands when they're screaming and ranting and raving." He says it's bad and we'll see how it works out. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked what message he was trying to send by going to the (outside of the) church, Trump says, "I went there because somebody suggested it was a good idea. And I thought it was a great idea." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump later concedes that the nation also needs "healing," but he emphasizes the violence, then starts bashing the media, then bashes "radical left crazy people," then mentions healing again, but then says we need "safety." — PolitiTweet.org

Sean Spicer, "interviewing" Trump, gently asks if the nation now needs him to do the comforting Spicer says Trump has sometimes done in private after tragedies. Trump responds: "Right now I think the nation needs law and order." — PolitiTweet.org

@CraigSilverman How many of the clips had you already debunked? (I'll credit you in my story) — PolitiTweet.org

BuzzFeed's @CraigSilverman has done some good debunking of other "staged bricks" stories. https://t.co/nlH2Ni68KJ — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The White House posted a video it said shows that "Antifa and professional anarchists" are staging bricks... ...but one of the clips it included was of a synagogue's rock security barrier. The synagogue had already debunked this nonsense. H/t @Yair_Rosenberg @GabeRamirez https://t.co/BqZPWIl32f — PolitiTweet.org

Asked why he should be spending time going after Chris Cuomo and Joe Scarborough while there are so many big problems happening, Trump says, "I just do it. You know, people hit me, I hit back. I fight." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump on Russia's invasion and annexation of Ukraine's Crimea: "Obama got his pockets picked." He says it's not about trust, why Putin should be invited back to the meeting; it's "common sense" to have Putin there if Russia is being discussed so much there. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked what Putin has done to earn back the world's trust, to deserve an invitation back to the G7 meeting, Trump says, "Yeah, well, look, helped us with the oil industry." He acknowledges this was "good for him too." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump criticizes Joe Biden for his 1990s crime bill, then for allegedly treating Clarence Thomas badly. Asked about Biden's speech criticism, Trump says, "He didn't say that. He repeated the words." (This is his go-to Biden criticism - that he can't speak or think, is a puppet.) — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump baselessly says he thinks pollsters aren't even doing polls, just sitting in an office and making up numbers. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked about Biden leading him by big margins in some polls, Trump says, "I have other polls where I'm winning." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump: "We have to get the police departments - everybody - has to do better." Again, no specifics. He then mocks Joe Biden for his mask-wearing. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Pressed by Kilmeade about how you deal with the problem of low African American trust in the police, Trump vaguely says police have to do better. (He provides no specifics.) He then complains at length about the media. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked on Fox radio about how only 36% of African Americans said in a poll that they trust their local police, and how to address that problem, Trump says "it's a very sad problem," then boasts about how well he is doing with African Americans in the polls, then about the economy. — PolitiTweet.org
