Trump says the US has removed some of the most dangerous ISIS prisoners from the area, "a certain number of ISIS fighters that are particularly bad," to make sure they aren't let out after Turkey's invasion. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Asked about Turkey, Trump says, "They've been wanting to do this for many years, as you know." He falsely says the US presence in Syria was only supposed to last 30 days. He says, "We're speaking to both sides...seeing what can be made out of the situation." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump boasts, "We're bringing the incandescent bulb back." He moves on to criticizing the "Obama-Sleepy Joe Biden Administration" over another issue. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump boasts of overturning the Obama administration's "ridiculous attack" on incandescent light bulbs. "You do look better with incandescent," he says very seriously. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump keeps ad-libbing about his own victimhood while reading a text about how Americans are victimized by overzealous regulation. He reads, "No American should ever face such persecution from their own government." He adds, "Except, perhaps, your president." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, mockingly "thank"ing Obama for "138" judicial vacancies, tells a Sir Story about how he asked how many vacancies there were and was told "138 to 142." (It was under 110.) (Trump used "142" on Twitter a little earlier today, which he appeared to belatedly remember.) — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump reads his text about "abusive enforcement actions" by the government, then pauses and says, "Huh! It sounds like they're talking about me. I think they're talking about me. I might have a conflict in signing this." (He is saying he is the abusee, not the abuser.) — PolitiTweet.org

Trump begins his remarks at his deregulation event by saying he just spoke to Boris Johnson, they talked about some things, Johnson has good ideas, and "They'll be doing certain things for us." He then promotes his rallies Thursday and Friday. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump continues to be highly dishonest in his "chopper talk" exchanges with reporters. He made 10 false claims in his comments before flying to visit wounded soldiers at Walter Reed. He made 20 on Twitter, 11 in his speech to Florida seniors. https://t.co/5qQk2n8V72 — PolitiTweet.org

@LarrySilver23 That's this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's most ridiculous lie last week: he claimed his call with Ukraine's president was "so good" that people don't even mention the call anymore. https://t.co/5qQk2n8V72 — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Ukraine dishonesty blitz! Trump made 66 false claims last week, 25 of them about the Ukraine scandal. Breakdown and full list (with the new ones first) from me and @tarasubramaniam: https://t.co/5qQk2n8V72 — PolitiTweet.org

Via colleague @gsparks94, here's another possibility: Trump is...creatively describing a NBC/WSJ poll in which 24% say there's enough evidence for Trump's removal "now" -- but another 31% say Congress should do an impeachment inquiry to see if there's enough evidence for removal. https://t.co/4LCSrwgmvG — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
If anyone on Trump’s team or anyone else has seen a poll in which support for impeachment is only 25%, please feel free to point me to it. (The latest WaPo poll has 25% support for the impeachment inquiry *among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents*.) https://t.co/jd8m4FhVFS — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s Trump’s official written statement on Turkey and Syria. https://t.co/AofzWTZZTU — PolitiTweet.org

@kevin_wiener That is also possible...and that is also false, per table 5 here. https://t.co/VGz6lbgnGt — PolitiTweet.org

Obama didn't actually leave Trump 142 judicial vacancies. (Trump has previously claimed "138.") It was 104 as of Jan. 1, 2017, Russell Wheeler says, including the vacancy on SCOTUS. As is obvious, Obama didn't choose to hand him those picks; McConnell blocked Obama's nominees. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
I deleted my Trump-judges tweets because Trump might have been talking about Obama leaving him a record number of vacancies, not himself setting a record for appointments. My apologies. Buttt: that's false too. Clinton inherited more vacancies in 1993. https://t.co/VGz6lbgnGt https://t.co/s8qd80t2nF — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
This is a case where Trump could accurately make a narrower boast: Wheeler noted in August that Trump had set a record for a) appeals court judges confirmed b) through that point in a president's first term. Instead, he keeps claiming he's set the overall record for all judges. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
In addition, Obama didn't leave Trump 142 judicial vacancies. It was 104 as of Jan. 1, 2017, Russell Wheeler says, including the vacancy on SCOTUS. As is obvious, Obama didn't choose to hand him those picks; McConnell blocked Garland and many of Obama's nominees to lower courts. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump isn't close to the record for federal judges appointed, let alone having set "a record by far." Per Russell Wheeler of the Brookings Institution, who tracks this data, Reagan got 373 judges confirmed, Clinton 371. Trump could maybe get there in two terms, but he's way off. https://t.co/cSrVtvwtzS — PolitiTweet.org

@CollectBooksNow @MarkHertling I don’t think so. Mattis also spoke literally about an actual shortage of munitions. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
It’s also not clear the reported shortage of precision-guided bombs ever had any impact on operations; officials’ concerns were more about having enough to cover possible contingencies. But: many Sir Stories are 100% nonsense, so the existence of some truth here was news to me. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
None of this is to say that the Sir part of Trump’s story — about a top general supposedly telling him “we don’t have ammunition” — is accurate. @MarkHertling calls the story “ludicrous,” saying generals would express concern about munitions levels but would never say that. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
I looked into Trump‘s Sir Story about how the US “didn’t have ammunition” when he took office. As usual: wrong. But turns out there’s a kernel of truth! The military reported a *shortage* of *certain* munitions on account of anti-ISIS bombing. Facts: https://t.co/50KpfRf3Ks — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
@_ashlynn_b No - those are things that have been reported by media outlets. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump‘s now said 10 times that the whistleblower was very inaccurate. The whistleblower correctly said he tried to get Zelensky to probe Biden, probe the server thing, speak to Giuliani/Barr. Trump is free to argue this wasn’t “pressure,” but the main claims were clearly right. https://t.co/Y3IEoPgEud — PolitiTweet.org

RT @ddale8: It’s not illegal to meet a whistleblower. The whistleblower wasn’t way off on the call. The Syria mission didn’t have a 30-day… — PolitiTweet.org
