There was no massive amount of illegal voting in New Hampshire

I expect Trump to claim there is voter fraud in the 2018 elections, especially in critical states for the House such as Pennsylvania and California.

Trump and senior aide Stephen Miller both lied last year that thousands of illegal voters were sent by bus from Massachusetts to New Hampshire.

Trump trade deficit lies and errors

False claims coming fast and furious now: Trump says the U.S. has a $100 billion trade deficit with Mexico (it's $69 billion; he's said this 25 times); that he's started building The Wall (no).

— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) June 9, 2018

Trump falsely claims that the U.S. had an "$817 billion" trade deficit last year. He usually just says $800 billion. That number excludes trade in services. The actual deficit last year was $566 billion.

President Trump exaggerated trade deficit with the European Union by $50 billion https://t.co/68PcSAbFrs

Before the G-7 summit, Trump said that Mexico treats the U.S. "very unfairly." Here's why his campaign statement that Mexico could pay for the wall due to the trade deficit makes no sense: https://t.co/Uxs67aoMSr

Fact check on Trump’s trade numbers

Here’s the AP Fact check on Trump’s trade numbers.

I think he’s a liar but at a minimum, he’s leaving things out to paint a bleaker picture which jives with his view that the whole world (except Russia, I guess) is ripping us off.

Sad!

70% of voters think Trump shouldn’t fire Mueller

66% of Republicans believe Trump’s lie that there were spies in his campaign. There are no facts to support it and prominent congressional Republicans have said it’s not true. The Republican voters believe Trump.

70% of voters say Trump shouldn't fire Mueller. 13% say he should.

Republicans say 50-23% Trump shouldn't fire Mueller.

56% say the FBI informant was "routine." 33% say the FBI spied on the Trump camp. Repubs are the only group who believe the spy allegation. @QuinnipiacPoll

This has a chart:

Trump is painting a highly inaccurate tariff picture – wrongly suggesting everyone else has high tariffs while US has none.

Trump blames Obama for Putin’s invasion of Crimea!

It’s unreal how much Trump sucks up to Putin.

Russia, not the US, invaded Crimea. Blame Putin, not Obama!

More evidence of how far Trump will go to avoid criticizing Putin—rather than blame Putin for Russia’s invasion of Crimea, he blames …Obama. https://t.co/X0wUMCoD2a

— Natasha Bertrand (@NatashaBertrand) June 9, 2018

Trump blames Obama for Russia annexation of Crimea but said he would let Russia back into the G7 without requiring it to back off its intervention in Ukraine.

— Peter Baker (@peterbakernyt) June 9, 2018

As late as June 2016 Trump denied that Putin had invaded Ukraine, either not knowing, not remembering, or not caring about Crimea https://t.co/Wg631u1gLL

— David Frum (@davidfrum) June 9, 2018

Trump quote in this article:

“You’ll have to ask Obama, because he was the one that let Crimea get away” he said when asked about the annexation. “He allowed Russia to take Crimea. I may have had a much different attitude.”

Trump is in no position to talk

Trump has attacked journalists for speculations about Melania Trump. He has lumped legitimate questions from the media in with tweets from the public

The article states: “By attacking journalists who have speculated or asked questions about his wife, the president put himself at odds with his own personal history of using his platform — and a number of his supporters — to target women and effectively amplify rumors about their health, appearance and personal relationships.”

Trump is in no position to talk:

During the 2016 campaign, he questioned Hillary Clinton’s health
He said Mike Brzezinksi had been bleeding from a face-lift and had a low I.Q.

Sad!

I support the Eagles

Trump’s behavior over the canceled Eagles visit to the White House is a disgrace.
Trump only cares about himself. He pushes the anthem issue because his base likes it. This is all about “winning”, not doing what is right.
Let’s review:
• Trump is a racist. I can give you many examples but the most prominent ones since he became president are calling some bigots in Charlottesville “very fine people” and not criticizing Roseanne Barr’s racist tweets. I’ll never forgive him. I wouldn’t go to see him. I support the players.
• No Eagles player kneeled during the 2017 regular season or postseason.
• Fox broadcast photos of Eagles kneeling but it was in prayer before the game. They later apologized
• Trump has a grudge against the NFL because of his USFL failure and not getting the Buffalo franchise.
• No Eagles players stayed in the locker room in 2017. That was the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• The NFL caved in with their new policy but, with a bully like Trump, it is never enough. Now, he doesn’t want the players to be able to stay in the locker room.
• Trump said kneeling players were SOBs. He recently said that maybe they didn’t belong in the country. That’s no way to talk about people expressing ideas.
• Trump has lied about the reason for the protests. It’s not against the military, it’s against racial injustice. Shouldn’t we believe the players who protested? They know why they did it. Trump is just trying to avoid discussing racial injustice and appeal to the many bigots who support him.

Here’s a video with a good summary.
