Trump provides a highly misleading account of what happened with judges under Obama, suggesting Obama just "didn't fill the positions." Mitch McConnell executed a historic blockade of Obama's nominees in Obama's second term. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump takes credit for the U.S. being the "#1 producer of energy in the world -- because of what we've done, right now." It's crude oil production in which the U.S. has become #1 under Trump. 2017 was the fifth straight year it was #1 in petroleum/natural gas, per the EIA. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump falsely claims that Obama "did nothing" when he was informed of the Russian interference. Obama has been widely criticized for not doing more (though he has his defenders), but he took a number of steps, including warning Russia through various channels. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump accuses the Democrats of "collusion," though he wasn't specific about with whom. There's no evidence of Democratic collusion with the Russian government. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump invokes Hillary Clinton. There is a "lock her up" chant. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump says, as he has, that his opponents "want a do-over," that he has been victim of a "great hoax," and that the Russia investigation was illegal. There's no evidence the investigation was illegal. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump claims his election was a repudiation of the "permanent political class that enriched itself at your expense." He claims he has broken the grip of lobbyists, special interests, and backroom deals. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump points out the media, then pauses for a little while to allow for a "CNN sucks" chant, then says, "That is a lot of fake news back there...that's a lot." — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump says the economy is "perhaps" the greatest in the history of the country. He doesn't usually include a perhaps. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump begins his campaign launch by boasting about the size of the crowd. He claims "the fake news" would say he "didn't fill up the arena" if there were a mere few empty seats. — PolitiTweet.org

"We have reformed the VA, and Veterans Choice is now the law," Pence, introducing Trump, says of a program that became the law in 2014 when Obama signed a McCain-Sanders bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump will be speaking shortly in Orlando. I'll be quoting and fact-checking in this thread. You can also follow updates from my CNN colleagues at this link, which I'll be re-posting periodically: https://t.co/NNyR54TJrz — PolitiTweet.org

Hey, @ddale8 , you fact checking Trump’s ‘kick-off’ tonight?

RT @JDiamond1: Trump today is STILL standing by his actions calling for the Central Park Five to get the death penalty. The men were exoner… — PolitiTweet.org

Here's Trump's public schedule for today. (Public schedules don't include all of a president's activities.) https://t.co/0nhvVvkqUb — PolitiTweet.org

Going on CNN with @ChrisCuomo to do some fact-checking of the latest wrongness from the president. — PolitiTweet.org

@NickKristof Thank you so much, Nick! — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
@HeerJeet Totally fair - I just want to give people the correct context so they don't get the wrong impression Trump was suggesting he was broadly treated worse than a guy who got murdered. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
@draiochta14 Fair enough, but people should know the context before they decide! — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the Lincoln part of the transcript. Trump's talking about media coverage. https://t.co/KQKuiMhlpC — PolitiTweet.org

Some context has been missing from some of the Trump-Lincoln tweets: Trump was claiming "the press" in particular has treated him worse than anyone else including Lincoln, not that he's generally been treated worse than anyone else including Lincoln. https://t.co/QyW9kXinyC — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: “Abraham Lincoln was treated supposedly very badly. But nobody's been treated badly like me. “ https://t.co/iHsTqteADV

Here's Trump's public schedule for tomorrow. (Public schedules don't include all of a president's activities.) https://t.co/gToG6AiE5o — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump keeps saying he "gave" Mueller 500 witnesses. That is the total number of witnesses. Even if he did have control over people in his administration and broader orbit, he's wrongly suggesting he "gave" Mueller people like Yates, Comey, McCabe, Rybicki. https://t.co/QfOjJnhx2O — PolitiTweet.org

Trump flatly denied that Americans are paying his tariffs, though that is what experts say is happening. (And Americans are the ones who make the literal payments.) He also baselessly said "most of the companies" are moving out of China to avoid tariffs, then made it "many." https://t.co/uKJUunRjp5 — PolitiTweet.org

@GSorensen I think Hannity got it from him... — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump said he won every poll from all of his 15 debates in 2016. Three of those debates were with Clinton. Scientific polling -- as in, not anyone-can-click junk polls on websites -- had Clinton winning all three of those debates. (Trump has previously pointed to the junk polls.) https://t.co/BHSyujypQM — PolitiTweet.org

Trump said that the media used to have an approval rating "in the 90s" but is now "in the teens." There are lots of different polls and ways to ask about media trust, but Gallup's poll shows the media at 45% trust, up from the 2016 low of 32%. https://t.co/Ce8f5c9zB8 https://t.co/piKHAGxgCj — PolitiTweet.org

"I was for pre-existing conditions." Trump can perhaps insist that he was always for these protections deep down, but the bills he tried to get passed would've eliminated or weakened them, and he has proposed no plan that would preserve them. (He says a new plan is coming soon.) https://t.co/5F9FqRxJFo — PolitiTweet.org
