I did 55 eyebrow-raising lines from Trump's SC speech last night.
I probably could have done 10 more. Maybe 20.https://t.co/PEgUYdjiYM pic.twitter.com/HmDz5QngpR

11 curious quotes from Trump tonight. What's the best way to cover a speech like this? What should journos tell readers/viewers about it? https://t.co/m5oVQxmbxc pic.twitter.com/ByIZQOvxb1

What you should do is not broadcast Trump’s lies!
“Justin, what’s your problem, Justin?” In rambling rally speech, Trump complains again about Trudeau and Canada, threatens auto tariff: https://t.co/QTEoupDPm2

Check out Dale’s tweets, too – some examples below:
For at least the 15th time, Trump falsely claims the U.S. has spent $7 trillion in the Middle East. He has wildly exaggerated a Brown University estimate of $5.6 trillion including estimated future costs.

Trump does his now-regular false claim about cutting more regulations than any president "whether it's four years, eight years, 16 years." The longest-serving president died after just over 12 years. He just keeps saying it.

Trump falsely claims the US "lost $817 billion" on trade last year. The trade deficit was $566 billion when counting goods and services. The $800 billion figure ignores trade in services. This is about the 39th time Trump has said this as president.

Trump says Canada and the European don't allow access to US farmers. Canada is the top market for US agriculture exports. The EU is fifth. $32 billion total in 2017. pic.twitter.com/PjJYZfIcJH

Trump says "15,000 or 20,000" people couldn't get into his Minnesota rally. He originally tweeted 10,000, then the next day said 15,000, now has added another 5,000.

Trump is repeatedly accusing Democrats of not caring if criminals enter the country. "They don't mind crime," he says. He adds: "It's the party of Maxine Waters – do you believe her?" (Boos.) "No no, this has become the party of Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi."
