In Texas, Trump said a bunch of the usual nonsense: the whistleblower is fake (whistleblower was highly accurate), China has lost $25 trillion since he took office (fictional number), Clinton got 223 electoral votes (232), tariffs are coming in from China (from Americans). — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, accurately touting low unemployment numbers for African Americans, Hispanics and Asians, said, "The numbers just came out today." They did not. This is one of his frequent little tricks -- he's constantly claiming that good news is JUST IN. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump repeatedly blasted the media this afternoon while standing next to Tim Cook at an Apple plant in Texas, telling reporters, "You should be ashamed of yourselves." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump on Sondland this afternoon: "I don't know him very well. He's a guy that got put there." Trump put him there. — PolitiTweet.org

It remains unclear what the president understands "freedom of the press" to mean. He said again today: "We don’t have freedom of the press in this country. We have a phony press." — PolitiTweet.org

Sondland says that in addition to his six or so conversations with Trump about Ukraine in particular, he's had a bunch of other conversations with Trump. Asked if it's less than 20 total conversations, he says, "It's probably in that range." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's argument: Sondland notes that I told him on September 9 that I didn't want anything from Ukraine and that there was no quid pro quo. Therefore, the question of impeachment is now dead. https://t.co/Z0lDVGYToO — PolitiTweet.org

My point is not that Trump didn't want anything from Ukraine. Sondland is testifying that he believed Trump wanted something. But he said that Trump *told* him that Trump wanted nothing. That is what Trump emphasized to reporters; not a contradiction. https://t.co/WbxySCIRnh — PolitiTweet.org

@ddale8 I need a favor though...
Daniel Dale @ddale8
This is wrong. What Trump told reporters did not contradict Sondland's testimony. Sondland testified Trump told him "I want nothing" from Ukraine. That's what Trump was saying to reporters -- that Sondland testified he'd said "I want nothing." https://t.co/uTZzq1Nur1 — PolitiTweet.org

In summary: Trump, speaking in a croakier voice than usual, told reporters that the sole important thing from the hearing is that he told Sondland that he wanted "nothing" from Ukraine. Trump claimed that this means "it's all over." He then walked away, taking no questions. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump rejected Sondland's claim that Trump was in a cranky mood during their September 9 call. "I'm always in a good mood," Trump said. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump said, of the hearing, "I just noticed one thing...and that means it's all over." ("Ready?") He said that "it's all over" because he told Sondland in their Sept. 9 call that he didn't want anything from Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump took no questions from reporters this morning upon his departure to Texas. He made some of his own comments about Sondland, carrying handwritten notes about the hearing. Quotes to follow. — PolitiTweet.org

Under questioning from Republican lawyer Castor, Sondland says Trump never told him directly about preconditions for anything. (Sondland has testified that Trump told him to deal with Giuliani, who was pushing the preconditions.) — PolitiTweet.org

Asked if, by September 9 (the date he sent the "President has been crystal clear no quid pro quo's" text), Sondland understood Trump required a public announcement of two investigations to get both a meeting and the security assistance, Sondland said, "I believe that is correct." — PolitiTweet.org

Asked if Trump/Rudy didn't care if the investigations actually happened, Sondland said, "I never heard...anyone say that the investigations had to start or had to be completed...only thing I heard from Mr. Giuliani or otherwise was that they had to be announced in some form." — PolitiTweet.org
