Here's the transcript of the president's response when he was asked if he's spoken with the families of anyone who has died in the pandemic other than the family of his friend: https://t.co/VowaHTBRGR — PolitiTweet.org

Here's Trump's public schedule for tomorrow. (Public schedules don't include all of a president's activities.) https://t.co/zTjUBGxho8 — PolitiTweet.org

RT @NathanSRuiz: Can’t stop thinking about this correction in today‘s Sun. https://t.co/J9tsRqXYTh — PolitiTweet.org

Trump said today that Fauci had said in late February that the virus was “no problem.” That’s not what Fauci said: https://t.co/rss4eq8GxU — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Today the president suggested he was right when he said in February that the US would go from 15 cases to about 0 cases, since it’ll “ultimately” be 0. He neglected to mention in February that there’d first be over 1 million cases and 58,000 deaths. https://t.co/rss4eq8GxU — PolitiTweet.org

Trump now promotes Q4 to "maybe tremendous" and says 2021 has a chance to be "close to record-setting." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump muses about a vaccine, but then says, "But I think what happens is: it's gonna go away. This is gonna go away. And whether it comes back in a modified form in the fall, we'll be able to handle it. We'll be able to put out spurts. And we're very prepared to handle it." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says Q3 is "gonna OK, maybe better than OK," even though it's a transitional quarter, and then Q4 will be "great" and 2021 "tremendous." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump: "We're doing a job the likes of which nobody's ever done." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

"The testing is starting to die down," Trump says, apparently referring to criticism on testing. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump: "Some governors" don't care as much about testing. "Their test is much more modest, and their real test is when people stop getting sick, and they'll be able to do that too, and I understand both systems very well." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump again says he "inherited a very broken test." The faulty test was developed by the CDC in 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

In other words: The president is suggesting that he's still right when he said that the US would go from 15 cases to about zero cases, even though there are now 1 million cases. https://t.co/5jBxTxV4O0 — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked about the US hitting 1 million coronavirus cases, and his February prediction of going from 15 to close to 0, Trump says, "Well, it will go down to zero, ultimately." — PolitiTweet.org

The ongoing Trump event is featuring a procession of businesspeople thanking and crediting Trump for the emergency loans they received from the Paycheck Protection Program. — PolitiTweet.org

After a West Virginia eye doctor/optical business owner speaks, Trump asks if he does exams, then says, "I may have to see you. OK? I guarantee you're probably better than these high-priced people. I used to see the highest-priced, and they were not the best." — PolitiTweet.org

The White House says there is not a press conference even though the press secretary just tweeted there will be a press conference. It is the previously scheduled, smaller and less formal "pool spray." https://t.co/OpUMLCORTS — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s what VP Mike Pence said in the March 9 and 10 comments he now says were meant to be understood as him saying only that 4 million tests were being sent out, not that 4 million tests could actually be completed any time soon. https://t.co/6rbHiJm7y2 https://t.co/8GV7biUoWF — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump repeats some of the usual false claims and adds a new one, Pence suggests a reporter and the public are to blame for a testing “misunderstanding” he created himself. Some fact check on this evening’s session: https://t.co/UBShRIxbrK — PolitiTweet.org

Also, I think the pointless little stuff -- the added billions to already-impressive figures, the fictional crying men, the imaginary awards, the invented details of an already-helpful trip to Chinatown -- is some of the most revealing stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Some good-faith people suggest ignoring the little dishonesty and focusing on the truly egregious lies. The thing is that...there's such relentless little dishonesty from Trump that if you let it go, you're letting go literally thousands of false claims. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

This is also a common response to corrections of Trump's exaggerations, even some of his substantial lies: he's "directionally right." It's fascinating. https://t.co/rYXYhgFHgW — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

This is what I was saying last week re this claim (https://t.co/WiPwGvuJEw): When Trump's incessant little exaggerations get corrected, some chunk of his supporters sees media bias or pettiness. So he either gets unchecked false info out or he gets a base-riling backlash. https://t.co/6IwJAcxD4o — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

This is at least the 6th different exaggeration Trump has made about Pelosi's Feb. visit to Chinatown, when she walked around/urged people to come. So far he's said she was "dancing"; had a "rally," "street fair"; called for "parade," "parties," "march." https://t.co/t24UFFbV07 — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says or suggests that Biden didn't actually make this statement; this is his usual assertion when asked about a Biden tweet or written statement. But this one was an out-loud Biden comment. https://t.co/c8VltjPpky — PolitiTweet.org
