Trump, as usual, lies that he's eliminated the estate tax - the tax law merely raised the threshold - and misleadingly suggests the tax has a big impact on family farms and small businesses; they represented a tiny fraction of the estate tax-payers.

Trump says four times that he approved Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines on "day one" of his presidency. He advanced them four days into his term, but didn't approve Dakota for three weeks, Keystone for two months.

Trump touts Merkel's decision to open up Germany to U.S. gas. He claims America is newly respected again. "We're putting America first. It hasn't happened for a lot of decades...we're taking care of ourselves for a change, folks."

Trump: "You know what a globalist is, right? A globalist is a person who wants the globe to do well, frankly, not caring about our country so much." He calls himself "a nationalist." There is a U-S-A chant.

Trump boasts of his extraordinarily low popularity in Pew polling around the world. He says, "I said, of course I'm unpopular with foreign nations, because we're not letting them rip us off anymore, folks."

Trump lies: "But I'm one of the most popular presidents in this country, and that's good. In OUR country." No.

Trump lies that there were some good polls for him but the media outlets who paid for the polls didn't want to release them and tried to suppress them because they were good for him. "Fake news," he concludes.

Trump with I think a new line: "The Democrats are a big risk to the American family, and our country cannot afford to take those kinds of risks." He repeats his claim that this is an election about Kavanaugh, "the caravan," "law and order," "tax cuts," and "common sense."

Trump: "Ted's opponent in this race is a stone-cold phony named Robert Francis O'Rourke."

Yes, he's saying this at a rally for Rafael Edward Cruz.https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1054529386886651905 …

Trump mocks O'Rourke for (supposedly, I'm not sure) saying immigrant gang members are "people" and not "animals": "They carve you up with a knife, but they're people."

Trump is just saying Maxine Waters's name repeatedly. "Low-IQ individual. She's low-IQ," he repeats. Again, he does not talk about any member of Congress this way other than an outspoken Black woman.

Trump, talking Warren, says repeatedly that he "can't call her Pocahontas" because she has no "Indian blood," though that is not what the test showed. Then, without explanation, he says he will indeed keep calling her Pocahontas. This continues to make no sense.

Trump says he doesn't understand why he'd lose the House with such a good economy, though presidents' parties usually suffer in the midterms. He adds: "History's against us, but the facts are all with us."

Trump says Make America Great Again is the best slogan ever, while Hillary Clinton's slogan was "stupid."

Trump on Hurricane Harvey, which killed dozens in Texas: "Did we help you with that lousy hurricane?...That sucker...That was brutal...It was taunting us. Have you ever been taunted?" He said he was upset because "I'm paying for that."

Sorry, had to run for a bit. Came back to a Sir story. I trust the last five minutes were enlightening.

Trump is doing his usual very inaccurate impression of Dianne Feinstein's response to John Cornyn asking her if she leaked the Blasey Ford letter.

Trump on a Texas infrastructure project: "Would you name it the Trump Dam, please? Name it the Trump Dam...It's beautiful, it's big, it's expensive...I want...nah, I'm only kidding. I did not ask him that."

I gotta go, have fun everyone
