Here is a real thing that happened: Based on nothing, the president and aides accused a mayor and senator of misrepresenting how he was treated...on a hospital visit...to shooting victims. In fact, they’d said he was received warmly. My fact check: https://t.co/O89GbRjRDX — PolitiTweet.org

@bandit1086 As you may be aware, Rob Ford admitted that he made up that entire story, and he apologized to me and retracted the whole thing in great detail. Here's the full text of his apology. All the best! https://t.co/PbEJvDzcdZ — PolitiTweet.org

Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley reading the Trump tweet: "I don't -- I mean, like, I'm really confused. We said he was treated really well, so. I don't know what you could talk about misrepresenting. Oh well...he lives in his world of Twitter." https://t.co/Ja6vs2L3kJ — PolitiTweet.org

Sherrod Brown statement to me in an email: “I’ve said before Donald Trump is a bully and bullies are cowards. I don’t care what he says about me. But the people of Dayton deserve a President more focused on protecting them from gun violence than protecting his own ego.” — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Brown did criticize Trump's general rhetoric and called for policy action. But on the hospital visit itself, he was only complimentary. He said: "He was received well by the patients...They were hurting, he was comforting. He did the right things, Melania did the right things." https://t.co/tdnAFekWe1 — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Whaley said: "I think the victims and the first responders were grateful that the President of the United States came to Dayton." She also said it was good he wasn't visiting Oregon District, because people there are angry, but she didn't criticize the hospital visit in any way. — PolitiTweet.org

This is confusing. Brown said of Trump: "He was received well by the patients, as you’d expect. They were hurting, he was comforting. He did the right things, Melania did the right things." https://t.co/unun6ATX8o — PolitiTweet.org

Tucker Carlson said last night that white supremacy isn't a "real problem" in the United States. This is almost too ridiculous to fact check, but here are a few numbers from me on the extent of the problem: https://t.co/XFPY3BguD9 — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The question here was whether he has concerns about the rise of white supremacy. Trump began his answer by saying, "I have concerns about the rise of any group of hate." https://t.co/GxgTAUDFty — PolitiTweet.org

Trump calls Biden "a pretty incompetent guy." He concludes his pre-trip exchange with reporters by saying, "Joe Biden has truly lost his fastball." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Told that the El Paso killer used some of the same rhetoric as him, and asked if he regrets his words, Trump responds, "I think that illegal immigration -- you're talking about illegal immigrants, right? Yes? I think illegal immigration is a terrible thing for this country." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump on Congress and guns: "I'll be convincing some people to do things they don't want to do." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump asserts that his rhetoric is not divisive. In fact, he says, "It brings people together." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump on white supremacist hate: "Whether it's white supremacy whether it's any other kind of supremacy, whether it's antifa, whether it's any group of hate, I am very concerned about it. And I'll do something about it." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says the US has been helping South Korea for "82 years" (?), but, in exchange, "We get nothing. We get virtually nothing." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump describes critics as "political people from Texas who aren't doing very well." On tone, he claims he already has "toned it down." He describes the killers as mentally ill. He says, "I would like to stay out of the political fray." (He attacked O'Rourke last night.) — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says he'll be meeting with law enforcement, first responders and victims today. He describes his trip as "a terrific opportunity to congratulate some of the police and the law enforcement" for an "incredible" job. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

South Korea agreed to pay about $925 million this year at exchange rates at the time of the deal. It paid about $855 million last year. Trump has repeatedly said South Korea doubled its payment, confusing South Koreans who have noted it’s an 8% increase. https://t.co/77s0M9EmnU https://t.co/PpIijOJoet — PolitiTweet.org

Here's Trump's public schedule for tomorrow. It doesn't include details about where he'll be going or who he'll be meeting with in Dayton and El Paso. (Public schedules don't include all of a president's activities.) https://t.co/fApps1YuLE — PolitiTweet.org

To be clear, that was a separate launch two weeks ago. Trump emphasized then that Kim hadn’t said that one was a warning to the United States. Kim specified that this new one was a warning to the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

When Trump was told that Kim intended the launch July 25 as a warning - North Korea had said a warning to South Korea - Trump responded, “He didn’t say a warning to the United States, I can tell you that. He didn’t say a warning to the United States.” — PolitiTweet.org
