Trump puts cadets at risk
This is so narcissistic! It’s all about Trump always!
Trump is putting West Point grads at risk for a campaign commercial. That pretty much sums up the deep disrespect he has for the service he dodged. https://t.co/duyGF3ZXkY

Trump never stops lying
Michelle Obama did not go to Georgia to campaign for Stacey Abrams. Trump has said this repeatedly. He keeps adding her to the list with Oprah and Barack Obama. It just didn't happen.

Trump repeats the most boring of his favorite false claims, the one about how there used to be a trade deficit of $500 billion with China, even up to $550 billion. (He adds that this money came "out of our hides.") There has never once been a $500 billion deficit with China.

Trump was wrong to push Hydroxychloroquine
He’s just a carny barker, a snake oil salesman. Listen to doctors, not liars.
