Trump, in his opening comments, just said: "Just so you know from the Secret Service, there aren't many people protesting outside."
-
-
"I'm really doing this to show you how damned dishonest these people are."
-
Trump lies about criticism of his initial C-ville statement—which said nothing specific about the KKK, Neo-Nazis, or white supremacists.
-
At key, Trump completely eliminates his "many sides" line on Saturday, which led to criticism.
-
After Trump criticizes "failing" NYT, Post as "lobbying" tool for Amazon, and CNN as bad. The audience starts chanting: "CNN sucks!"
-
To reiterate: The president of the US lies, repeatedly and freely, about matters large and small.
-
Also to reiterate, here was my thread from last night, foreshadowing what was inevitable tonight:https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/899800726917992451 …
-
Yes, Mr. President, your "racism is evil" line was everywhere on Monday. You are lying now.
-
"Can it be any better than that?" - Trump says of his Monday statement
-
"Tuesday, I did another one," Trump says. :blink:
-
"They asked me the question," Trump says about the question period that led to Trump's wild Tuesday presser where he went off the rails.
-
SURPRISE: Trump ignored his long, supportive airing of white supremacists' grievances in that retelling of Tuesday's presser.
-
Moving on, Trump attacks elites: "I went to a better school than they did. I was a better student than they were."
-
He couldn't resist. Trump: "They are trying to take away our history and our heritage."
-
"They're turning their lights off fast," Trump lies, claiming ludicrously that the TV channels are stopping coverage of his speech.
-
Media people are "sick" and don't like America, Trump says.
-
"How good is Hannity? He's a great guy, he's an honest guy," Trump says, adding praise of Fox & Friends, too.
-
He then continues lying about media shutting off their cameras.
-
"Do the people in this room like Sheriff Joe?"
-
HERE WE GO.
-
"Was Sheriff Joe convicted for doing his job? He should have had a jury, but I'll make a prediction: I think he's going to be just fine."
-
Trump: "I'm not going to do it tonight ... but he should feel fine." He doesn't say the word pardon, but clearly suggested it will come.
-
Trump, not naming McCain or Flake, attacks McCain and Flake, saying, "I'm not going to mention any names."
-
"Weak, weak people," Trump says of overnight removal of statues. Yes, he went back to it, talking about George Washington and others.
-
Here's my report on the pardon-talk-without-saying-the-word-pardon from Trump about Arpaio tonight:https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/trump-didnt-announce-a-pardon-for-ex-sheriff-joe-arpaio-but?utm_term=.xyLkbE8jL …
