Here's Trump's public schedule for tomorrow. The "roundtable with supporters" is a high-dollar fundraiser attached to the larger fundraiser. (Public schedules don't include all of a president's activities.) https://t.co/38wKiGThMu — PolitiTweet.org

Trump has more than 100 times repeated his lie about being the one who got Veterans Choice created (Obama signed it into law in 2014, Trump signed a law expanding it), but it's still striking to me how elaborate some of his renditions are. Like, all of this dialogue is fictional. https://t.co/UmA2eD4d7h — PolitiTweet.org

I've abandoned this speech. Per @Kevinliptakcnn, Trump did not begin discussing the trade deal he was signing until he spoke for more than 40 minutes. China's vice premier was just standing there impassively. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump on China's role in dealing with Kim Jong Un: "It's all a very, very beautiful game of chess, or game of poker, or, I can't use the word checkers, 'cause it's far greater than any checker game that I've ever seen, but it's a very beautiful mosaic." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump mentions News Corp., then calls Rupert Murdoch "the greatest," then congratulates Murdoch on the high price of his sale of assets to Disney, but laments that the sale was to "some group that doesn't like Trump as much, that's the only problem." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump mentions the CEO of eBay, then tells a Sir story about how he autographs things and then immediately sees them being sold on eBay for a lot of money, like $5,000. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says they like him in Alaska. Then, mentioning Rep. Mark Meadows, he says, "His wife actually supported me long before him. But he thinks I don't know that." He then starts talking at length about fireworks in South Dakota. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump, at the signing of his preliminary trade deal with China, says Sen. Lindsey Graham is a "much better golfer than people would understand." Moments later, he mocks former FBI director James Comey. He then falsely says "you don't hear complaints about the VA anymore." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump is doing some rambling at his China trade event. "A man who always liked me. Because he's smart. So smart. The great Lou Dobbs. You know, at first he said, 'He's the best since Reagan.' Then he got to know me more and more and he said, 'He's even better than Reagan.'" — PolitiTweet.org

Biden is also dishonest when he keeps saying he only voted to authorize force because he thought Bush only wanted to get inspectors in. Biden did want inspectors in, but he was very clear, in 2002, 2003 and 2004, that he was voting for war if necessary -- and believed in the war. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Biden is correct that he called his vote a "mistake." But that was in 2005. He keeps saying he came out opposed to the war right when it started in March 2003. He very much did not. He was a vocal supporter of the war, though also a critic of Bush's handling of it, through 2004. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Biden is not abandoning his repeat false claim that he opposed the war in Iraq from the moment Bush went to war -- he did another version of the claim tonight. We've debunked it repeatedly: https://t.co/Z5LHUWEI9d, https://t.co/w6DYObRaME, https://t.co/iUPQsOal95. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump touts the stock market, tells people that their MAGA hats are great, promises he'll never get rid of the slogan MAGA, then does the thing where he asks people if they prefer MAGA or KAG. I am now bailing on this for the Democratic debate. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump makes fun of Biden for mixing up states. He says Biden is getting a media pass for these gaffes. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump calls up Wisconsin Republicans, touts Sean Duffy, criticizes CNN, points to the back of the room, and says, "That's how FAKE -- turn the camera off." (He usually falsely claims that CNN has actually turned its camera off, so this is progress.) — PolitiTweet.org

This is an important point -- Mexico has taken significant action at Trump's behest, deploying thousands of soldiers to keep migrants away from the US. But it hasn't funded the physical wall, as Trump continues to claim. https://t.co/YsamTtfcdx — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says his phone call with Ukraine was perfect. He says if you look back at Lyndon Johnson, who was "sort of a tough guy," you'd see way tougher phone calls. He suggests Johnson might be in hell, saying Johnson is either looking down on all this or maybe "looking up." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump is telling the story about how everyone calls him "President" instead of "Donald," even his old buddies. "President, President." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump is doing a lot of pointing at the media. He complains that the media reports "Trump stayed in Syria." He says what really happened is that "we kept the oil." (The media reports are accurate. He has kept soldiers in Syria to secure oil fields.) — PolitiTweet.org
