Asked by a voter why he does not directly answer questions from the press and instead rambles, criticizes and touts past successes, Trump says he's greeted by a hostile press, even more hostile than Lincoln's, and if he was "kind to them," it wouldn't work. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump suggests, though does not say as explicitly as usual, that he is responsible for getting the Veterans Choice program that was created in 2014 under Obama. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump suggests he could even help these people personally, then says he'll take a look at it and see if there's something to be done. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked by a business owner who doesn't have payrolled empoyees if there'll be help for people like them, Trump simply says we have to "get it open." "At some point, we have to open our country. People are going to be safe." "We can't stay closed as a country." — PolitiTweet.org

"We have to let 'em come back," Trump says about hospitals doing elective surgeries, though it's "up to the governors." He says, "In some cases it's cancer, where they're waiting long, and that's not a good thing to be waiting long. It's such a - they have to get back." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says the Spanish Flu is now "the hottest" topic, suggesting this all will benefit everybody that has written a book about it. — PolitiTweet.org

"1917," forever. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: "It's all working out." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump tells people that "you're gonna have all those seats" at restaurants like before. He says he wants to sit beside people. He says he wants the 100,000+ at Alabama football games. He says "some people" say the virus could come back, and it could, but still, "it will pass." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked if another country could "beat us" on creating a vaccine, Trump says this is not like him to say, but "I don't care," he just wants a vaccine, and he'll take his hat off to any country that creates one. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump asked if he's bringing America together: "I think we're winning very big and then we had a horrible thing happened." He says he's "shocked that during a crisis it would be so partisan." He starts talking "impeachment hoax." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump again suggested that we know hydroxychloroquine is safe because it's been around for years for other purposes. Here's the FDA warning about its use for this purpose. https://t.co/2EAQLiwAUe https://t.co/eqPE9gCdzf — PolitiTweet.org

One of those (frequent) nights when it's hard to keep up with the pace of the president's dishonesty. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump falsely says that Fauci said the virus was no big deal (Fauci, in Feb., told people they didn't need to change habits yet but warned this could change), then falsely says that Biden wrote him a letter of apology (didn't happen). — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump claims some opponents would "rather see people not get well" than for him to get credit over hydroxychloroquine. (Many opponents have said there's no conclusive proof it is effective for this purpose; some studies have also not found proof; FDA has issued safety warning.) — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump, asked about hydroxychloroquine, says he's had three calls in the last three or four days from people who credit it with saving their lives. (Again, these anecdotes are not data; people don't always know why they've gotten better; we need real trials.) — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, again: "You know, it's going to pass." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked by a student how students can feel safe going back to school, and by a teacher how to get people back into classrooms, Trump says people might wear masks but he worries about teachers of certain age; he says older teachers with illnesses might have to sit out for a while. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is repeating his lie that the Obama administration "did nothing" to end HIV/AIDS and that Trump "started" the effort. https://t.co/KqjLDzgVnY — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says he thinks there'll be a vaccine by the end of 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump bashes Washington Gov. Jay Inslee again. He says Inslee asked for help obtaining swabs and he responded that Inslee should get them himself, but the federal government could help if needed. — PolitiTweet.org

"King of ventilators." The Moon Jae-in phone call. Satisfied governors. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: In NY, you're going to have to go around with masks for a while, but other states are doing "so well." (As New York's numbers decline, numerous other states are seeing increasing.) — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump talks about how this effort has been successful, then says, "If you call 80 or 90,000 people successful." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says we're going to lose anywhere from 75,000-80,000 to 100,000 people, then, a bit later, says it's 80,000 or 90,000. He's steadily moved the number up from the 50,000-60,000 total he cited on April 20. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: "Anybody over 60, you could say 65, but let's make it 60 - we have to protect those people...and maybe they stay back longer." He says many "want to go back," though some others are "very scared," though some are scared of being "locked in a room" without income. — PolitiTweet.org
