Hello twitterverse! PolitiFact is covering #TrumpRallyOrlando tonight, live fact-checking @realDonaldTrump's campaign launch from Amway Center. Stay tuned:
The last time we fact-checked an event like this was Trump's first rally since being cleared of criminally conspiring in Russia’s 2016 election interference in Grand Rapids, Michigan. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
We also live fact-checked Trump's 2-hour speech at CPAC in April. He stayed on relatively firm ground when talking about the economy. But on immigration, abortion and the Democrats’ Green New Deal, he took liberties with the facts. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
.@VP Mike Pence is opening the #TrumpRallyOrlando talking about President @realDonaldTrump's promises. Here's where PolitiFact is tracking them on the Trump-O-Meter: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
"No collusion and no obstruction," #TrumpRallyOrlando. The Special Counsel report specifically said, "While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Whether Russian efforts made a difference in the election is unproven, but the Russians clearly wanted Trump elected. The Mueller report, along with every national intelligence agency, found a singular focus by the Russians. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
“We’ll have over 400 miles built by the end of the year.” Trump has said this before: 400 miles of wall are coming soon. But most projects replace existing barriers: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Trump said his administration created the biggest tax cut in history. — Nope, four were larger: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
On black unemployment numbers: “The lowest unemployment numbers in the history of our country.” He’s right about the low rates. But his statement that the Democrats "did nothing" is an exaggeration. Under Obama, black unemployment fell by more than half. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
We fact-checked the hotly contested 2018 midterm FL gubernatorial and senate races and subsequent recounts:

Departing @PressSec Sarah Huckabee Sanders has taken the stage at #TrumpRallyOrlando. After she gave false information during a press briefing, some were calling for her removal. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Fact-checking @realDonaldTrump's claim on the lowest-ever unemployment rate among African Americans, Hispanics and Asian Americans along with women: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
“Wages are rising at the fastest rate in many decades. And rising the fastest for the lowest paid workers.” We rated a similar claim Mostly False: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Trump said his admin has reduced the price of prescription drugs. A similar claim takes a number from a couple of months during the year to paint a misleading picture. In 2018, while drug prices didn’t go up as much as in the past, they continued to rise. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Trump is wrong that Veteran's Choice health plan wasn’t passed until he came into office.
Congress passed a new version of a Choice program in June 2018 — but the program itself has been around since 2014, during Obama's presidency: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Trump said “The Democratic agenda of open borders is morally reprehensible.” He said similar statements in the past:

politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
"We wil always protect ptients with pre existing conditions," @realDonaldTrump said at #TrumpRallyOrlando. The GOP protections are not as iron clad as those in the ACA. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Fact-checking Donald Trump's tweet saying Democrats 'don’t mind executing' babies after birth: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Trump said 120 Democrats in Congress have signed on to Medicare For All. "They want to end Medicare as we know it and terminate private insurance." There's an element of truth there. See our explanation of #M4A. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/… #TrumpRallyOrlando
