In past years, Trump has blamed California leaders for deadly wildfires in their state citing a lack of proper forest management. He has repeated his overly simplistic claim about the fires today, saying leaders didn't "clean the floors" https://t.co/qsbPPxs5zU

The Trump campaign has sent out advance excerpts of his speech attacking Biden. Many of the prepared claims are false or misleading.

Most of Trump's dishonesty is ad-libbed. In campaign season, though, more lying gets written into his texts. This also happened in the midterms.
No and no.

Harris criticized Biden during the primary for some past comments and positions related to race, but she began by saying, “I do not believe you are a racist.”
Harris also didn’t call Biden incompetent. pic.twitter.com/xHsteyEnD4
A common response to Trump's lying is "well, they all lie." I think it's important to note how asymmetrical the lying is.

You have hours of numerous Democrats speaking with no objectively false claims. It's rare to get ten minutes falseness-free from this president.
Again, Gallup showed at the time that the vast majority of Americans (66%) approved of the Obama administration's handling of H1N1.

Trump claimed "Colin Powell says it’s not true" that Russia put bounties on US troops.
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) August 15, 2020
Powell didn't; he said early media coverage was overblown compared to how commanders saw the intel. Powell assistant Peggy Cifrino confirms to me: "He did not say that it was not true."

It was written by @svdate, who asked today whether Trump regretted his 3-1/2 years of lies to the American people. https://t.co/9DLdWF2tuG
Asked if he regrets all of the lying he’s done to the American people, Trump doesn’t respond, calls on someone else.

Trump falsely says his nonsense that Democrats want to "abolish the suburbs," then exaggerates by saying Cuomo abolished cash bail in New York. (It was ended for some offenses but kept for most violent crimes.)
