Trump responds to the Buzzfeed story with lies

✅ Russia probe didn’t start from the dossier.

✅ Dossier not discredited.https://t.co/D6vHkt4WGq

Please stop lying. The Russian probe was not entirely based on the Steele memos. And please explain why you lied to voters about your business interactions with Russia—and why you falsely claimed Russia was not attacking the election. Thank you. https://t.co/Jj3vCFUOb3

The 2020 census citizenship question will probably wind up in the Supreme Court

It’s a bigoted idea and the Trump administration has lied about why they wanted it. Sad!

A judge ruled that the Administration can’t add a last-minute citizenship question to the 2020 Census. I believe it would undermine the purpose of the Census: to count everyone. This lengthy opinion shows why. Thanks @brianschatz for your leadership. https://t.co/foxHqyIZTd

The majority opposes the wall

Most Americans not only oppose the wall, but also don't want to compromise on that position to end the shutdown. https://t.co/67TsrkVyuB pic.twitter.com/uXRjt4eWKb

Poll shows federal workers don’t prefer a border wall to getting paid

More bad polls for Trump

Of course, it’s amusing that he complained polls where rigged when he also attempted to rig them. What a liar and hypocrite.

Trump has the same approval in January 2019 with 3.9% unemployment that Reagan had in January 1983 with 10.4% unemployment https://t.co/RQOAcuWF3Q https://t.co/xU6Jioie9r

OK, finally had to write about the political implications of the shutdown. It's clearly hurting Trump’s approval rating. But will it hurt him in 2020? https://t.co/JNy85jXlkI

Long time between now and Nov 2020. But Trump numbers do not have him on a winning trajectory. https://t.co/NaDlwevM3D

A remarkably bad new poll for Trump: A quarter of his supporters aren't committed to voting for him in 2020 and among independents, who he won in 2016, 62 percent plan to vote against him. https://t.co/9FsED95mlk

"Just 30 percent of registered voters said they will definitely vote for Trump in 2020, while 57 percent said they will definitely vote against him."https://t.co/0xlZ9G94lj

There's a real possibility that Trump's tendency to ignore polls he doesn't like will cost him re-election. https://t.co/2kavbJxf7G

Two years before the Journal reports on Cohen rigging online polls, Trump was complaining about rigged polls. https://t.co/tQrzjVXKBP

Sounds like a good idea.

Trump’s anti-Muslim bigotry shows through in his prayer rugs tweet

I despise Trump for many reasons but the top two are that he is a liar and a bigot.

Trump and his supporters will rightfully complain about the Buzzfeed story that said Trump told Cohen to lie. How is this different? It doesn’t have a lot of sources and they are anonymous.

Fact Check: President Trump revived an old and still unproved rumor that hints that Islamic migrants were entering the United States through Mexico and could pose a terrorism threat https://t.co/Bmdubbt713

— NYT Politics (@nytpolitics) January 19, 2019

Let's be clear. The daylight between @SteveKingIA's overt racism and Trump's unsubtle "the Muslims are coming!" is PAPER-THIN. But, will any Republican lawmakers say so? https://t.co/OIRwwFEcTU

NEW: "Muslim prayer rug" story that Trump tweeted was written by ex-press secretary of anti-immigration hate group, @willsommer reports https://t.co/4Bd9WCyqZU

— Justin Miller (@justinjm1) January 18, 2019

The Washington Examiner article the president is quoting is very bad. The “prayer rugs” claim was made by a single rancher who would not allow her name used and who apparently provided the journalist no evidence. pic.twitter.com/iq4t0BOzR9

— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) January 18, 2019

The president of the United States is tweeting about imaginary prayer rugs found by a supposed anonymous rancher who, if he exists, is repeating an urban (rural?) legend from a few years ago. But Trump has benefitted from stoking anti-Muslim prejudice before. Why not try again? https://t.co/TZ2FnWj2Xz

The whole prayer rugs on the border thing is an ancient right-wing talking point. In 2014, another "prayer rug" was discovered on the border. It turned out to be an Adidas shirt. https://t.co/QeSApcSE4P pic.twitter.com/A1BKnyKjGT

— Will Sommer (@willsommer) January 18, 2019

Reporters on the border tell me migrants often carry small heavy rugs to throw over the barbed wire and then dump them when they make it to the U.S. side. Has nothing to do with Islam, Mr. President. https://t.co/8jb9GAhlAc

A classic of the racist genre.

1. What’s wrong with prayer rugs?

2. Who would lug a prayer rug across the Atlantic, up through South America, into and across Mexico, only then to ditch it in Texas? https://t.co/5j8jL1SaAK
