Trump was not telling a joke when he said he slowed down testing for COVID-19 to conceal its spread. No sensible person can watch the video and think he was joking.

The President of the United States killed Americans in an effort to improve his election chances.
Trump May 26: If I didn't take swift action, "we would have lost 1 1/2 to 2 Million People"
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) June 21, 2020
Trump June 15: "…we would have lost possibly 2.5, 3 million people"
Trump June 20: "…we would have had I would say probably 4 million deaths, 3 million deaths, 2 million deaths"
Crowd sizes in general elections typically don't indicate much. But when you make them your sole metric, brag about the registrations to attend and it falls short, it becomes the story https://t.co/qLA8HTHlqC

I didn’t see a single person being blocked from entering the rally and was outside for about 5 hours. https://t.co/O9Tc5qkMpN

Trump, stating his support for the Second Amendment, again seems to suggest BLM protests may require a violent response: “When you see those lunatics all over the streets, it’s nice to have…arms.”

It's just a lie that Trump/Republicans will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions. They have repeatedly pushed bills trying to weaken those protections in Obamacare; the Trump admin is now in court backing a lawsuit to eradicate Obamacare; has no replace plan.

Trump has been speaking for 90 minutes. No mention of George Floyd. No mention of the 121,000 Americans who died from the coronavirus.

Trump tells his supporters that Rep. Ilhan Omar — an American citizen who was a Somali refugee — would make the government of “our country” like “the country from where she came.” He says: “Now she’s telling us how to run our country.” Omar has been a US citizen since she was 17
— Manu Raju (@mkraju) June 21, 2020
President Trump infront of thousands of people just claimed Rep @IlhanMN, whose father recently died of the coronavirus, wants to turn America into Somalia.

Trump instantly faced backlash from many who see this as a racist statement.
This "joking" excuse was predictable, but Trump's comment was precisely in line with his oft-repeated, indisputably serious thoughts about testing being somewhat bad because it makes the US look bad. https://t.co/HJSpPO5Nmb

POTUS is now criticizing Biden at his rally. He recently tweeted a picture of "Biden's rally," which was not a rally, it was an invite-only speech. Typical Trump deception. pic.twitter.com/T7ZmjNIYGQ

Trump is, again, wrong that “nobody” was “even asking” for NFL commish Roger Goodell to make a statement denouncing racism against Black people and saying “Black lives matter.”
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) June 21, 2020
A group of prominent Black players had asked. Goodell used two of their suggested sentences verbatim.
A lot of people suspect Trump is a racist.

Today Trump used the term “kung flu” to describe coronavirus to remove any doubt on the matter.
It's just a lie that Trump ran down the last 10 feet of the West Point ramp.
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) June 21, 2020
Trivial subject compared to lots of other stuff he lies about, but it's another example of the president lying about something people can see is not true with their own eyes.
Holy shit! Trump admitted flat out that he delivered a direct order for fewer tests to be performed, for the express purpose of ensuring that fewer Americans with coronavirus would be identified! https://t.co/41hpt44U3f

President Trump just used the term “kung flu” to describe coronavirus.

.@weijia reported weeks ago that a WH aide used the term to her face and the WH tried to hint that she was making it up.
Now, we know the president uses the term which is seen as deragatory and racist.
"They want to demolish our heritage" Trump says, referencing the push to remove confederate memorials and symbols. Again, the president speaking directly to his white base with this rhetoric.

Maybe the other 990,000 people went to Tulas https://t.co/ZOh5uiURVT

! Trump says testing is a "double-edged sword" because you find even lots of minor cases, then adds, "I said to my people, 'Slow the testing down, please.'" He has never before said he asked anyone to slow down testing — this has been an allegation by his opponents.

"These animals literally taking over our cities," he yelled, at the party leader's rally https://t.co/H5MyGiMHSE

Trump: "Do you ever notice that Biden oftentimes gets the state wrong? … That happens to him all the time. Hasn't happened to me yet."
— Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) June 21, 2020
In February, Trump congratulated the wrong state for the Super Bowl.
In October, he said he was building a border wall in Colorado.
Trump anticipated a “wild evening” at his Saturday campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, while recommending “people do what they want” when it comes to mask wearing. https://t.co/U9AMRJ8Heo

Edit: Team Trump was defeated by KPop, TikTok fans and a grandma. In so many ways we are witnessing the humiliation of a sitting president in real time. The world is laughing & pitying us, ex-Republican ad makers are eviscerating Trump, the pandemic and economy are uncontrolled. https://t.co/QfsJDopnPN

Workers removed thousands of social distancing stickers before Trump’s Tulsa rally, according to video and a person familiar with the set-up https://t.co/XBEucwz2Yk
