Fact check: At his Michigan rally, President Trump misstated the findings of the Mueller investigation, misleadingly promised to protect patients with pre-existing conditions and falsely described funding for a restoration program for the Great Lakes https://t.co/BwXEoUSckx

"If you wanted a taste of President Trump’s 2020 Make America Great Again Again pitch, you got a steaming farrago of it in Grand Rapids on Thursday: boasting, horseshit, and red meat, spiced with outright lies," writes @TheRickWilson https://t.co/hKdRGXGSXg

Trump says Democrats need to decide if they're going to continue to defraud the public "with ridiculous *bullshit*"

Trump said last night he won Michigan even though Barack Obama "and Michelle" campaigned there at the last minute.

Michelle Obama didn't campaign there. This is the second place Trump has falsely said Michelle campaigned and lost, along with Georgia in the 2018 governor race.
"Trump did not seem so much a vindicated president as a vengeful one, whose political calculus involved none of the reaching out to disaffected voters that more conventional politicians might attempt at such a moment," writes @sbg1 https://t.co/m9X1J8ECh6
