Trump lied about Puerto Rico so he could cut aid

He misrepresented and/or misunderstood the facts. Sad!

Axios: Trump has decided Puerto Rico should get no more hurricane relief money after baselessly deciding that Puerto Rican politicians are misusing the funds — possibly because he misunderstood a WSJ article, possibly because he doesn't like Puerto Rico. https://t.co/f9hDsT9nhn

Even Kellyanne Conway admitted it.

Now Trump claims election corruption in Arizona

Trump claims there is fraud in Arizona but provides no support for his accusation. He just doesn’t want the Democrat to win.

Big settlement in AZ Senate race. It essentially gives voters from everywhere the ability to verify their ballots. That's a good thing. https://t.co/jy8LEfyQAi

Trump attacks black female correspondents

Trump has attacked black women like House members Maxine Waters and Frederica Wilson. In the last few days, he has attacked reporters April Ryan (who he has criticized before), Yamiche Alcindor and Abby Phillip.

Trump is a bigot and a liar. He is also an opponent of the free press. Abby Phillip’s question today was very appropriate – it wasn’t stupid.

Trump, this is the 3rd black female reporter you’ve disrespected this week. Why can’t you just answer questions from competent reporters @AprilDRyan @Yamiche @abbydphillip. Why are you so intimidated by professional black women? https://t.co/Rt4cR8EHDP

— Michael Steele (@MichaelSteele) November 9, 2018

.@AprilDRyan, @abbydphillip, @Yamiche – among finest reporters covering the White House, plus April on the beat for decades. @realDonaldTrump's vitriol lodged against them, @Acosta, @PeterAlexander is unacceptable.

Trump complains about disrespect then when @abbydphillip, a total pro, respectfully asks if he wants Whitaker to rein in Mueller, he says, “What a stupid question. But I watch you a lot. You ask a lot of stupid questions.” And he didn’t answer the question. But we'll keep asking.

Trump played a major role in payments to McDougal and Daniels

Trump has said he wasn’t involved but apparently he was very involved and informed and may have broken campaign finance laws. Lock him up.

If he can’t be indicted while he is president, I hope he is indicted as soon as he leaves office.

Here is more information and links on today’s Wall Street Journal story. All of the tweets link to the same story.

Trump talks about illegal voting – will he challenge election results?

I think he will use his lie about illegal voting to challenge some of the results where Republicans lose:

Without evidence, Trump and Sessions warn of voter fraud in Tuesday’s elections https://t.co/7R4VzQW87P

— Washington Post (@washingtonpost) November 6, 2018

from the article: “Accusations of voter fraud and voter suppression have roared to the forefront in several closely contested races this year, raising the possibility of recounts and disputed results among dozens of races for House, Senate and governor.”

Trump planting the seeds to contest election results based on the LIE that he “believes” there is “a lot of illegal voting.”

There is NO evidence of this, despite extensive research, including by his own admin.

There IS *ample* evidence of illegal voter suppression by the GOP. https://t.co/8glOirsANV

— Leah McElrath (@leahmcelrath) November 5, 2018

He has no proof. He’s just lying again.

I asked POTUS what proof he has that people are trying to vote illegally.

He told me to “just take a look” because “a lot of people in my opinion and based on proof” try to “get in illegally and actually vote illegally.”

Warned of “prosecutions at the highest level.”

— Jordan Fabian (@Jordanfabian) November 5, 2018

In all of the watching that law enforcement, Trump's own election commission, and outside observers have done, no one has found ANY mass conspiracy around illegal voting. About 10 people vote illegally each election across the Whole Country. Please don't scare voters! Thanks! https://t.co/foM2ZGjoMC

Hey, you know what else is illegal?

Any effort to "intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote." (18 U.S.C. 594).
