Trump, on the economy, again cites his gut feeling about how the fourth quarter and next year are going to be fantastic - as many economists warn of a slow slog: "I'm feeling it. I've felt things a lot" in my life, "and there's a pent-up demand." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, mostly on script, is boasting about the state of coronavirus testing, his relationships with governors, and the alleged enthusiasm in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm going to do a weekly video fact-checking some of the most important/interesting/weird false claims from Trump. Here's the first try. https://t.co/yvUJowaJHK — PolitiTweet.org

In this Oct-Nov 2009 CNN poll, for example, 57% approved of Obama’s handling of H1N1. Per 538, Trump is at 43.5% approval of his handling of the coronavirus. In summary, Trump bashing Obama for “poor marks, bad polls” on H1N1 does not make sense. https://t.co/F8vnsZNIGy https://t.co/9SR5YyYuKU — PolitiTweet.org

Obama did significantly better in polls on his handling of H1N1 - which resulted in a CDC-estimated total of 12,469 deaths over a full year - than Trump is doing in polls on his handling of the coronavirus, which has resulted in more than 79,000 deaths so far. https://t.co/x3pEJNcEAp — PolitiTweet.org

Updated timeline of Trump’s death toll estimates, which have gone, in 2.5 weeks. from 50K-60K to 60K-70K to 75K-100K to, yesterday, both 95K and “100,000, 110, higher.” https://t.co/mycjiHSRPT — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says of the elderly veterans he was with today without wearing a mask: "They're so pure, it will never happen, alright? They've lived a great life." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked if he considered wearing a mask while with these 90+-year-old veterans today, Trump says no because he was "far away" from them and "plus the wind was blowing so hard and such a direction that if the plague ever reached them, I'd be very surprised." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump claims the third quarter will be "very good" economically, and the fourth quarter maybe "more than good," and next year "tremendous." He says soon after: "We have a lot of great students of finance. I'm one of 'em." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Fauci in late April: "I'm almost certain it will come back, because the virus is so transmissible and it's globally spread." Also said it just might not go away. https://t.co/htQfP19RQ6 — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump: "I feel about vaccines like I feel about tests. This is going to go away without a vaccine, it's gonna go away, and we're not going to see it again, hopefully, after a period of time. You may have some flare-ups..." Then says he doesn't necessarily mean it goes this year. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump on people at the White House getting the coronavirus: "The fact that you have it doesn't mean that it doesn't go away. Right? You can have it and get through it very easily. Some people have a harder time. Most people get through it. Some people are devastated by it." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says people are catching the virus at home, in apartment buildings, so it can happen anywhere, whether or not workplaces open. This is not really addressing the question of how people can be confident going to work if people are coming to work with the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says the "Katie" who tested positive in Pence's office is "the press person." He didn't say which Katie; Katie Miller, wife of senior Trump aide Stephen Miller, is Pence's press secretary. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked how people can be confident going back to average work if people are testing positive at the White House, Trump says, "Can happen anywhere...no no, because, well, then it would happen anyway, whether you did go back to work or whether you didn't didn't go back to work." ? — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says that the fact a Pence staffer tested negative for a long time but now tested positive shows "the whole concept of tests aren't necessarily great," because someone can get the virus between tests. This is precisely why experts say we need widespread frequent testing... — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked about the member of the Pence staff who's tested positive, Trump says, "Well, I don't know much about it...she's a wonderful young woman, Katie, she tested very good for a long period of time, then all of a sudden today she tested positive." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

I have no insight into this situation, but Trump has a long history of wrongly accusing former allies he now doesn't like of having begged him for things. https://t.co/RtA7a6rjYJ — PolitiTweet.org

Gohmert was talking specifically about people attending this Republican meeting with the president. People meeting the president are being tested, according to the White House. https://t.co/3r4j5lbYVt — PolitiTweet.org
