NOW: @realDonaldTrump is taking the stage. Follow along here for some fact checking (at least until I am too tired)
“We are going to win this state,” @realDonaldTrump says. He’s -11 in Minnesota approval right now.
He’s now bragging about crowd size and thanking @mike_pence and @SecondLady.

“It’s great to be back in the twin cities...for the next 13 months we are going to fight with all our heart and soul” and win MN in 2020, he says.
.@realDonaldTrump claims a Chinese trade rep called him to congratulate him on having a great economy. There is no way this happened.
“Trump loves cops,” he says. (Except the FBI and anyone investigating him).
“The wretched Washington swamp has been trying to nullify the results of a great democratic election,” @realDonaldTrump says. Impeachment does not nullify elections.
Trump now attacking the @washingtonpost, claiming an article was published about his impeachment 19 mins after he was sworn in.
Now he’s turning to Strzok/Page, and appears to be vocalizing as if imagining them having sex.
“The Media is so dishonest and so bad for our country,” @realDonaldTrump says after claiming to be ahead in polls (he is not).
.@realDonaldTrump now complaining because he hasn’t gotten sycophantic press coverage for no reason except being president.
.@realDonaldTrump now lying about newscasts using talking points from Democrats.
Trump now praising Limbaugh, Hannity, Mark Levin, Lou Dobbs and other sycophants as “great people.”
“Maybe I’m a little different up here, I don’t know,” @realDonaldTrump says while pointing to his head.
Democrats “brazen attempt to overthrow our government” will result in a backlash, @realDonaldTrump says.
Impeachment isn’t overthrowing a government and 51% of people support removing him, per @FoxNews poll from last night.

Trump now repeating usual attacks on @RepAdamSchiff and @SpeakerPelosi.
“These people are sick,” he says.
He’s also lying about the Ukraine call not matching the whistleblower complaint and making up statements by Pelosi. “The press is fake,” he adds for good measure.

.@realDonaldTrump now quoting from “our brilliant” White House counsel’s letter, which @gtconway3d and other conservative lawyers have savaged as incoherent illogical trash.
Trump is now attacking Hunter Biden for doing business in China. His unqualified daughter-advisor @IvankaTrump has received numerous trademark registrations while he’s been negotiating a China trade deal.
Trump directly attacks both Hunter and @JoeBiden — “you’re a loser...and your father...was only a good VP because he knew how to kiss @BarackObama’s ass.”
This is the President, ladies and gentlemen.

“I know all the smart guys on Wall Street,” @realDonaldTrump says.
No Wall Street bank has lent him money in decades.

Trump remarking on how many MyPillow ads he sees on TV — this is because Fox has lost so many advertisers that he’s one of a few who are left.
Trump now suggesting that @SpeakerPelosi “is really stupid,” “has lost it,” or is dishonest.
Wow, this is next level projection.
Wow, this is next level projection.
Trump now says the media “was behind every single step” of the Mueller investigation.
This is off the rails unhinged paranoia. Something is wrong with this man.

“I want somebody to call me Donald,” @realDonaldTrump says, complaining that people call him “Mister President,” and whining that he has “lost all [his] friends”
“They’re trying to stop me because they know I don’t answer to them, I answer to you,” @realDonaldTrump says.
Apparently he answers to Erdogan because he pulls troops back so he can massacre the Kurds just because he was asked to.

Now he’s attacking @IlhanMN, asking “how the hell” she got elected. He calls her “an America hating socialist.”
He is attacking Omar for allegedly claiming that pro-Israel lawmakers have an allegiance to a foreign country, even though HE said American Jews who vote for Democrats are being disloyal to Israel.
He’s now telling a “sir” story, the use of “sir” is usually a pretty good indicator that he’s making the story up but he’s attributing the remarks to @GOPChairwoman so who knows.
He’s now saying @parscale was his 2016 campaign manager. He was his digital director in 2016, his campaign managers were @CLewandowski_ (fired), Paul Manafort (fired, in prison) and @KellyannePolls (still around).
He is also misstating2016 electoral college totals again, it was 304-227.
I guess he’s reliving 2016 again, “one of the greatest nights in the history of television,” he calls it.
.@realDonaldTrump just said a GOP senate candidate will have news stories about him that will make his wife ask “why did I marry this guy?”
Could he be speaking from experience?

Someone let me know if there are any new crimes between now and 6am, please.
