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

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.

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

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.

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.

A lot of people keep saying @TheAtlantic story about Trump won't matter because "nothing matters" when it comes to Trump. This notion is self-defeating and wrong, so I took a break from Labor Day weekend to write up how we can make sure it matters https://t.co/I8BIyZoxhR

This is how former generals in politics create accountability problems in a democracy.

Much being made of why former or current Trump administration officials won’t go on the record. As someone who has occasionally quoted such sources in essays, the reasons they have given me for anonymity include concern for their personal safety and that of their families.

If @TheAtlantic story is false, and it never happened, and John Kelly knows that, then it's kind of mystifying why Trump just now went completely apeshit on John Kelly. I mean, not just a little, but a full-on Trump broadside.

Seemingly sober commentary about how “effective” Trump’s attacks are plays down a core truth: He lies, and lies, and lies again. This, not tactical musings, must stay at the fore to avoid a replay of the false-equivalence journalism of 2016.
