@jbenton @TorontoStar It's true, but I don't think it's on them at all. There was just a ton of news to cover, from the Canada-US trade file to Trump's doings. We've always had one correspondent here, and I never thought it'd be feasible to have me spend a day or two a week doing fact-checking. — PolitiTweet.org

@KateBolduan @JohnBerman Thank you both so much. — PolitiTweet.org

@goldsbie @jpags Yep. Left the ACC in the third quarter. — PolitiTweet.org

@jpags That was a top three worst night of my career. Thank you for doing all the work so I could sit there refreshing the score — PolitiTweet.org

I am! We’re doing a giant final update on https://t.co/msFz15g7NA today...I fell six weeks behind and it was bad...and then I’ll keep counting at CNN. https://t.co/KSUwEMTRQz — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, a huge thank-you to editor @EdTubb. He's been the hidden maestro behind this whole initiative -- fact-checking my fact-checks, coming up with informative graphics and statistics, doing the back-end work on the database, a bunch of other stuff. Everyone applaud Ed! — PolitiTweet.org

It’s hard to leave my hometown paper after 11 years. The Star is such an important institution, doing investigative and accountability work nobody else does. @irenegentle and co. gave me freedom to do and say things that wouldn't be possible elsewhere. Please keep supporting it. — PolitiTweet.org

I started fact-checking Trump in September 2016 because I was frustrated that much of the campaign coverage didn’t seem very interested in talking about what was true and not true. This is a great opportunity to get more facts to a U.S. audience this time around. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

For the last three years, I’ve done most of the fact-checking on my "own" time, weekends and nights, while trying to do my actual correspondent job during the day. Now the truth file will be my full-time focus. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

I’m going to work for CNN! I’ll be on the truth beat full-time starting June 17, dissecting dishonesty from Trump, Democratic candidates and others. https://t.co/KBe4IiBfwt — PolitiTweet.org

@KevinMKruse He also doesn't have a 94% approval rating with Republicans - 90% right now in Gallup, almost always between 86 and 90 in every poll. He usually claims "93%." — PolitiTweet.org

This is a subset, of course, of the broader Crowds category, which is mostly about his rally crowds. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Other times Trump has made things up about large pro-Trump crowds greeting him on his trips: https://t.co/8Jte6xidmR — PolitiTweet.org

Trump added that May is probably a better negotiator than him. — PolitiTweet.org

May says that Trump advised her to sue the EU, as she’s said before. Trump: “I would have sued. But that’s OK.” — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

I say “lie” with confidence because Trump once explained he knows Bush had a higher approval rating among Republicans, but it doesn’t count as a record because it was for a short period. https://t.co/Lf0WkAccZ0 — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump tells his usual lie that he has a record approval rating among Republicans, “94%.” (It’s consistently been in the high 80s; GWBush reached the high 90s post-9/11.) “I love records,” he adds. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Imaginary thousands of cheering people are a staple of Trump’s accounts of his trips places, even in the US. https://t.co/dGpWpfoGpG — PolitiTweet.org

Asked if he’ll impose restrictions on intelligence sharing with the UK over Huawei, Trump says no, “this is a truly great ally and partner.” — PolitiTweet.org
