In August, Trump Knowingly Took Steps To Kill Children
And Other LiesNewly released data from the White House coronavirus task force shows Trump was getting increasingly dire reports about the virus' spread in July and August as he painted a positive picture of the pandemic and urged states to reopen businesses and schools https://t.co/27aIldGJH7— CNN (@CNN) September 1, 2020

Basically, much of Trumpworld appears to see extreme exaggeration as no-lose: 1) lots of people believe the lie; 2) if the lie is corrected, they can turn the correction into an example of media bias - accusing the correcters of being hatefully blind to some different point.— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) September 1, 2020
As the election campaign heats up, deceptively edited and misleading videos are clocking up millions of views across Facebook and Twitter -- breaking it down with @ddale8 and @JohnBerman pic.twitter.com/qubwS2pY1e— Donie O'Sullivan (@donie) September 1, 2020
This has spread outside the Trump campaign, too. All these ghouls pretending to believe Biden threatened violence if Trump wins know they're engaging In bad faith AND that Trump is fanning violence right now and has and will encourage violence if he loses. https://t.co/GnVmTZys6N— Brian Beutler (@brianbeutler) September 1, 2020

“ARE YOU THREATENING ME?!?!”
"this sort of encouragement [by trump] of violence for political purposes is worryingly similar to what the Fascist movement did in Europe during the nineteen-twenties and nineteen-thirties.”https://t.co/78QcxU6J9a— Chris Edelson (@ChrisEdelson) September 1, 2020

Trump claims the "biggest headwind" preventing Big Ten football from happening this fall is "Democrats" -- not the coronavirus pandemic pic.twitter.com/R5z0H9AbiX— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
TRUMP: "A person was on a plane, said there were about 6 people like that person, more or less, and what happened is the entire plane filled up with the looters, the anarchists, rioters, people looking for trouble. The person felt very uncomfortable on the plane." pic.twitter.com/VP0idEzLNi— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020

Today he says the plane was going from "Washington to wherever". Last night he said "they came from a certain city and this person was coming to the Republican National Convention." He can't even keep his story straight.— DeDisGirl 🌈 (@ashleyrm) September 1, 2020
Trump last night: The Antifa Plane "was coming to the Republican National Convention."— The Recount (@therecount) September 1, 2020
Trump today: "First-hand account of a plane going from Washington to wherever."pic.twitter.com/nP8S4Te9HP
amazing that this "person" can tell that people are "looters, the anarchists, rioters, people looking for trouble" just by their appearance!!!— John Whitehouse (@existentialfish) September 1, 2020
"The person, who's totally real by the way, came to me afterwards and said, 'Sir, Sir, I felt so uncomfortable on that totally real plane, but then I thought of how Strong and Tough you are and that you made my 401K go up 85,000%! Thank you Sir!' The man started crying."— Trumpy Trumpy (parody) (@outofcontroljb) September 1, 2020
He never names the "person" or "some people" or the "many are saying".— Retired Navy (@RetiredNavy007) September 1, 2020
It's all made up bullshit.
What kind of looters fly to their thieving destination? Doesn’t that seriously cut into their profit margin?— Ed Greenberger (@EdGreenberger) September 1, 2020
Exactly. The media is so scared to call out his bullshit.— Brock (@brocko911) September 1, 2020
Senator Rand Paul:— Trump War Room - Text TRUMP to 88022 (@TrumpWarRoom) September 1, 2020
"My feeling is there is interstate criminal traffic being paid for across states lines...they flew here on a plane, they all got fresh new clothes, and they were paid to be here. It is a crime to do that and it needs to be traced."pic.twitter.com/butFH344Ih
Hmmm. So, these interstate criminals, dressed in all black, scootched past TSA with their sinister “gear” just to yell at Rand Paul?— Kimberly "#BlackLivesMatter" Willardson (@kimberrry) September 1, 2020
Cities On Fire Is One Of Trump's Oldest Schticks

"They choke sometimes" -- you'd think Trump could come up with a better metaphor than "choke" to talk about police violence, but no pic.twitter.com/G6nhbPb1iz— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
Bill Barr in Kenosha: "The violence that erupted shortly after the shooting [of Jacob Blake] is simply not a legitimate response to a police shooting. The looting and the arson were unacceptable." (Note that he didn't condemn Kyle Rittenhouse, who is charged with murder!) pic.twitter.com/NFc3dgh8TY— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
Asked a question about if he thinks police should wear body cameras, Trump once again reveals that he's completely unable to discuss policy in any depth whatsoever pic.twitter.com/Sp5bmZQMT3— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
"They call it choking. It happens" -- Trump says he doesn't view police violence as a systemic issue pic.twitter.com/Jl4YO2vdmY— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
Someone should ask him why we are hiring chokers in the police forces across the country. Doesn’t he prefer police who don’t choke?— Hula Bunny (@hulabunny) September 1, 2020
I'm actually starting to think this is actually a part of a cynical rebrand strategy and not just a poor word choice.— E.G. Phillips 🦆👖 (@DucksWithPants) September 1, 2020
Q: Do you believe systemic racism is a problem in this country?— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
TRUMP: "We should talk about the kind of violence we've seen in Portland and here and other places... you have anarchists, and you have the looters, and you have the rioters... that's what you should be focused on." pic.twitter.com/vZEaXflAub
"They want law and order ... where they aren't raped and murdered" -- Trump simply refuses to acknowledge that Black Lives Matter protesters have any valid claims whatsoever pic.twitter.com/qBzcPbvId6— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
What's the point of these Trump trips to places like Kenosha, aside from appearing to do stuff? He flies in, meets with groups of carefully selected sycophants, holds roundtable events where everyone praises him, then flies back to DC. It's a complete waste of time and money.— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
Yeah. Amazing. A seventeen year old loaded up an assault rifle he wasn't legally able to own or use, had his mom drive him to the next state where he gunned down and murdered two peaceful protesters. And the right is making him a hero. That's amazing all right. https://t.co/xMjsxC28Xc— Khashoggi’s Ghost (@UROCKlive1) September 1, 2020
