Flashback to three years ago: Trump not only claimed he'd won Michigan Man of the Year, he told a detailed story about an alleged controversy about his alleged acceptance speech. https://t.co/qsQ1P72wG2 — PolitiTweet.org

Most amazing part of Trump maybe making up a "Michigan Man of the Year" award: he also described a controversy over… https://t.co/m0r3tA9ImS

At 90 minutes 55 seconds, tonight was the third-longest Trump speech behind the CPAC epic and the North Carolina rally last month, per @FactbaseFeed. — PolitiTweet.org

If anyone has any information related to the president's alleged Michigan Man of the Year award, I will reward you with my surprise and gratitude. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattWolking While we're here, could you tell me who gave the president the Michigan Man of the Year award? I haven't been able to get an answer! — PolitiTweet.org

Trump concludes with his regular "great again" finale. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump pledges again to find "new cures for childhood cancer." He promises, "Within one decade, the AIDS epidemic in the United States will be gone." He says, "It breaks your heart what's happened," but it'll be "eradicated" soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump wrongly says Venezuela was one of the richest countries in the world "15 years ago." It was true more than 50 years ago, but not 15. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says that NASA facilities had lots of weeds and cracks in the ground when he took office but are now beautiful. — PolitiTweet.org

For more than the 80th time in office, Trump falsely says that people were trying to get Veterans Choice passed for "five decades" until him. It was a John McCain-Bernie Sanders bill. Obama signed it into law in 2014. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump falsely says people had tried to get a Right to Try law passed for 44 years before he did it. A libertarian think tank started pushing this concept in 2014. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump adds 30+ to the number of judge vacancies he inherited, then mocks the media for saying Obama was "a great president": "If he was a great president, how come he left me 138 judges to appoint?" Not saying Obama was great, but the answer is McConnell: https://t.co/IVHf9bNyfD — PolitiTweet.org

Trump touts "the only decline in 51 years" in prescription drug prices. By one legit measure that has its critics, the Consumer Price Index, last year was the first calendar-year decline in 46 years. https://t.co/6IeK5nzOvZ — PolitiTweet.org

Trump with this usual very false claim: "Republicans, and I speak for every one of 'em: we will always protect pre-existing conditions." I don't usually fact-check promises, but this has already been belied by their actions during the Trump presidency. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says that he's still going to repeal and replace Obamacare, you watch, and it's going to work out better than if he'd done it the time it was done but John McCain (whom he doesn't name this time) stopped them. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is criticizing Democrats over immigration and sanctuary cities, as usual wrongly saying they want "open borders." He sometimes uses this as non-literal rhetoric and sometimes, like tonight, as if they want literally open borders. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump is touting progress against the opioid epidemic, citing declines in opioid prescriptions, overdose deaths and other data I think is accurate. "We're doing ads, beautiful ads," he says, "and I think they're having a big impact. You'll see." — PolitiTweet.org

"By the way, the wall is being built," Trump says to big cheers and a "build that wall" chant. As of last month, zero new miles had been built; there were about 50 miles of replacement fencing built. Trump criticizes the "fake news" for not counting this. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
There are big cheers for Trump saying "it's not the gun that pulls the trigger, it's the person holding the gun." He says, as he did before the rally, that he will give "major consideration" to building new "institutions" for "deranged" and dangerous people with mental illnesses. — PolitiTweet.org

The crowd went quiet as Trump mused about tariffs and the Wall Street Journal editorial board. It perked back up when he denounced "globalism" and said, "I'm the president of the United States of America. I'm not the president of the world." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says the WSJ editorial board and other people who advocate a quick deal with China and removal of the tariffs "understand nothing about trade or business." — PolitiTweet.org

You may have heard this from me before: the US has never had a $500 billion trade deficit with China. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, talking about mining in Minnesota, brings up Ilhan Omar, who is booed. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says countries have been "changing and charging tariffs on us for years." He almost never concedes that he has misspoken, instead just saying "and (correct word)." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump boasts of how many small donors he has. "We have big donors," he concedes a week after doing a fundraiser where people paid up to $250,000, but he says it's mostly small donors. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump again suggests that the US has only "now" become the top oil and natural gas producer in the world. That happened in 2012, per the US government's Energy Information Administration. It's crude oil in particular in which US became #1 under Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump boasts that Iran is not seizing American ships in the Strait of Hormuz: "They're not touching our ships...they're takin 'em from this country, that country." — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier, Trump said twice that Clinton got 223 electoral votes. I'm not sure he has ever correctly said 232; he's wrongly said 223 at least 26 times. — PolitiTweet.org
