Trump only cares about his base – another example

He has no interest in being president of the whole country.

Interviewer asks Trump to speak to the entire country. he replied by praising "my base." https://t.co/68HyUYoHol pic.twitter.com/UK5W4ctBds

Ohio super PAC broke campaign finance laws

A super PAC backing Rep. Jim Renacci spent more than $450k to win him the Republican OH-SEN primary, and it didn't disclose any of those expenditures until last week—a blatant violation of campaign finance laws https://t.co/REsPJJfS7P

Polls on Trump’s position on issues

This article goes through polls to see if the public (by party and total) agrees or disagrees with Trump’s position on issues.

The issue where Americans are most in agreement with Trump (among those selected)? Adding armed guards to schools. Least? Decreasing immigration.

Trump lies when he said ICE liberated towns from MS-13

He started saying that the day he hired Kelly last year and never stopped https://t.co/35ygaQCmSE

— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) June 30, 2018

Exactly! I am from Long Island and Trump always makes it sound like we are being controlled by MS-13 and that they are teeming in the streets. Just not true. It’s fear mongering at its absolute worst

Democrats underestimated Trump

“Democrats badly underestimated Trump’ according to this column.

He’s right. I don’t agree with Trump but he has done a lot to change the country. It’s going to take a long time to undo the damage once we get a Democratic president and congress. I didn’t anticipate that Congressional Republicans would fold and meekly go along with Trump. They’re afraid to cross him. They won’t even call him out on lies and bigotry most of the time.

The Trump administration make stuff up about the economy

Trump lied but his tweets show the truth

How dumb does Trump think we are? (Don’t answer that.) He encouraged congress to pass an immigration bill and now, three days later, lies and said he didn’t. There’s a tweet to prove he did. He lies every day.

Seems fair to say Trump lied today. Unless he completely forgot what he tweeted 3 days ago? https://t.co/TnedJCto9H

— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) June 30, 2018

I know nothing seems to matter sometimes but remember this tweet from THREE DAYS AGO IN ALL CAPS since Trump is saying he never pushed Republicans to vote for the Goodlatte bill that failed. https://t.co/VsFOP9VGSo

Trump has a pattern of dishonestly distancing himself from political failures – Ed Gillespie, Roy Moore, Obamacare repeal and more – but this is next-level gaslighting.

update:

Dear @SpeakerRyan: Last week @realDonaldTrump screamed this:

"HOUSE REPUBLICANS SHOULD PASS THE STRONG BUT FAIR IMMIGRATION BILL, KNOWN AS GOODLATTE II, IN THEIR AFTERNOON VOTE"

Today he threw you & GOP Members under the bus. Good luck negotiating a budget with this man in Sept https://t.co/ivI3otcWeW

UN migration agency votes down Trump nominee who made anti-Muslim tweets

Another Trump bigot

BREAKING: Member states reject candidacy of U.S. evangelical to lead UN migration agency, in major snub to Trump administration.

— The Associated Press (@AP) June 29, 2018

This is the only the second time since the organization's founding 67 years that an American won't lead the International Organization for Migration. It's an absolutely huge rejection for the Trump administration. https://t.co/8QTZY18wjQ

Huge defeat for the United States. An American has led @UNmigration for 59 yrs of its 67 yr history. This isn’t just about bad tweets. Our human rights abuses at home & habit of quitting (rather than fighting for what we want) have gutted our leadership internationally https://t.co/cst0XoFaOg

Trump wants to withdraw from the World Trade Organization (WTO)

Putin must love this.

1. America designed the WTO
2. America benefits massively from the WTO

Withdrawal cuts off American farmers, workers and companies from 7 billion consumers in countries growing much faster than America can/will

Disinform. Demonize. Destroy. This is LAZY policy. And so, so scary https://t.co/T9Evu31mHT

— Chad P. Bown (@ChadBown) June 29, 2018

Aka — for the Twitter users going berserk — Mnuchin LIED. Trump has explicitly told his adviser he wants to withdraw from the WTO many times. Mnuchin has been in the room when he has said this. Every sentence in our story is accurate, including the way we framed the plausibility. https://t.co/drvJQqoAPZ

The dangers of projection. Now that he's @potus, Trump confuses his situation with America's. Because he always thinks he's being screwed, he thinks the US is being screwed by NATO, the EU, the WTO, everybody. Sorry, that's just wrong.

Six month anniversary of the Trump tax law

The Trump tax law is a failure.

“Trump/Rs argued that cutting corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, allowing companies to write off more of capital spending would unleash frenzy of business spending. So far, that hasn't happened. surveys of business leaders don't indicate it's likely” https://t.co/E3cAwGYhEk

Companies in the S&P 500 spent more than half of their earnings on stock buybacks, inflating the cost of their stocks, but sidelining investment in employees or new products.
