Daniel Dale tweets Trump's latest shit show




Trump starts in Pennsylvania by talking about all he's had to go through and then making his usual false claim that Obama was caught spying on his campaign

Trump says the Green New Deal, which proposes massive investments in environmental initiatives, would cause "debt and death." He does not explain the "death" part.

As part of a scaremongering segment, Trump warns people that Democrats want to put up windmills (wind turbines) and you'll look out your window and see a "big monster churning."

Trump falsely says his nonsense that Democrats want to "abolish the suburbs," then exaggerates by saying Cuomo abolished cash bail in New York. (It was ended for some offenses but kept for most violent crimes.)

Trump falsely says he just saw a report that Biden hasn't taken questions from reporters since July 17. Biden did a formal press conference-style event on July 28, sat down with Black and Latino journalists in early August, has taken assorted other questions.

Trump tells his story about how Obama thought there would be a war with North Korea and without him, Trump, that war would've happened, and tens of millions would've died. (All we know is that Obama told Trump something like that North Korea was one of the toughest problems.)

Hmm...Trump says “If you want a vision of your life under a Joe Biden presidency, imagine the smoldering ruins of Minneapolis, the violent anarchy of Portland and the bloodstained sidewalks of Chicago coming to every city in America.”

But those things happened under him?

Trump says Biden always says he was born in Scranton, but Biden actually left as a child (Biden does not hide this). Trump says, "I view it differently: he wasn't born here, he ABANDONED Scranton." He concedes, "His family had something to do with that."

Trump with his usual complete nonsense: "The only way they're gonna win is by a rigged election. I really believe that. I saw the crowd outside."

Trump: "In New Jersey, 20% of the ballots were defective, fraudulent." He is talking about *one city council election in Paterson, New Jersey,* not the whole state, in which there is suspected fraud and about 20% of ballots were rejected for one reason or another


Trump boasts 14K manufacturing jobs were added in PA in his first three years. He doesn't explicitly mention that they have all been lost in the fourth year and that the total is now lower than it has been in decades, but adds, "We'll catch all of those jobs that were lost."


Trump says people used to tout New Zealand but they "had a massive breakout yesterday."

New Zealand reported six cases yesterday. The US reported 47,408.

Trump denounces Pennsylvania's Democratic governor Tom Wolf as "Shutdown Wolf" for his pandemic restrictions. He then adds, "He can't do this. He's going to destroy your soul."

Trump on Pennsylvania: "This wonderful incredible commonwealth. Right? I would call it a commonwealth. You ever mind if they call it a state? No. Call it commonwealth. Whatever the hell, you want to open it up."

Fact-checking Trump is hard labor. It requires a lot of time and effort because few people on Earth are capable of lying at the rate that he has mastered.
