Despite ongoing investigations and arrests of his associates, Trump defends Rudy Giuliani as a "crime fighter" and a "good man."
Asked if he would back up Mike Pence in condemning China for their treatment of the protesters in Hong Kong, all Trump will say is "the speech was fine."
Trump claims there's no rapid response team re: impeachment: "I'm the team, I did nothing wrong." (He did)

We do some wacky politics here but England seems insane. They clearly don't want to do Brexit, nothing can get through Parliament and yet they seem super set against just doing a vote to un-Brexit. Meanwhile Labour has its thumb up it's ass and is lousy with antisemitism.
I almost feel like because they have health care for everyone and have little reason to worry about some mass shooter murdering piles of their children they have less urgency? It’s not like they’ve solved everything but that’s two giant issues really not up for debate.
Also even their “right wing” party acknowledges science and there isn’t much of a religious zealot wing in their government.

When I see uk papers and pols getting in a tizzy about “knife crime” as an American I think “that must be nice.”

Rudy is pushing Illuminati-style conspiracy theories about [spins wheel] George Soros

This will be Daniel Dale's last #Trump fact-check as he departs the Star for a new role at CNN. Since the start of his presidency, @ddale8's has flagged more than 5,000 false claims. That's around 8 false claims a day.

In January 2018, @ddale8 told us why fact-checking Trump's false claims matter. Here's what he had to say:
In that time, @ddale8 has also gotten his hands on some explosive stories out of the White House, including this: Donald Trump confirms Star story on his secret bombshell remarks about Canada.
