And his cult lies right along with him
President Trump used a Labor Day press briefing at the White House to give a campaign-style address, attacking his political opponents, touting the alleged success the US has had against Covid-19 and repeating many false and misleading claims along the way https://t.co/hsAzz8pnKM

He's telling one lie after another and giving misleading statics about the pandemic and the economy. It is irresponsible to show this unfiltered to the public. People who don't usually watch TV all day are at home today and may not realize how pathological these "briefings" are

Few would tolerate a co-worker, a boss, a friend, a spouse, a teacher, who constantly lied. Trump couldn’t get away with it if Republican leaders cared about truth. They don’t. They care about power. They should never be trusted. @JohnJHarwood https://t.co/8zNCHbkETU

“For the president and his top supporters, it was a campaign push brimming with disinformation — disseminating falsehoods and trafficking in obfuscation at a rapid clip, through the use of selectively edited videos, deceptive retweets and false statements” https://t.co/XOQ1RdSABY

Trump blatantly lied about CNN on Thursday night. During a spiel about his Walter Reed visit, he confidently said that "CNN reported that I had a heart attack." The crowd booed. He said it again. CNN never reported such a thing. Search CNN's wbsite to see for yourself.

The president lies to the crowd in PA that CNN reported as fact that he'd had "mini-strokes." Crowd boos the media.

Biden wants to raise taxes on Americans who make more than $400,000 a year. (And as you might have guessed, 82% of Americans do not make $400,000 a year, so this is a lie). https://t.co/tnmvHKHgDv

Biden campaign wants pro-Trump ad on FRACKING removed in battleground PA, telling TV stations it "makes up a policy, ascribes it to Vice President Biden, and then says the nonexistent policy will result in job losses of 30 times more people than actually work in the industry.” pic.twitter.com/bVQspPOl7x

Officials in Wisconsin continue to stress that Pres Trump is not telling the truth when he says law enforcement in Kenosha has been federalized. Gov Evers deployed Wisconsin National Guard troops & got National Guard troops from other states.

Trump on Portland: “The entire city is ablaze all the time.”

Fact-check: 100% flat out lie.
Lost in all of Trump's tweets about the protests were a pair of tweets in which the President is once again downplaying the coronavirus threat. Both tweets (one has been taken down by Twitter) falsely claimed the coronavirus death toll is in fact a fraction of what it is.

Trump retweeted two tweets featuring an egregious false claim about Covid data.
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) August 30, 2020
One was from a supporter of the QAnon idiocy; now been deleted. The other was from campaign advisor Jenna Ellis, who linked to a piece by conspiracy site Gateway Pundit, which cited the QAnon tweet.
Sad!
