Trump today on the (highly accurate) whistleblower: “The whistleblower should be revealed because the whistleblower gave false stories. Some people would call it a fraud. I won’t go that far. But when I read it closely, I probably would.”
Trump has had a number of these kinds of two-sentence contradictions in the last month as he struggles to decide mid-paragraph what position he is going to take.

Trump is holding a rally in Louisiana. Quotes and fact checks in this thread.
Trump begins his speech by saying there are thousands of people outside. Someone feel free to let me know if this is true!
Trump says "the fake news" treats him badly but "the locals," local media, treat him better. He encourages people to vote for Eddie Rispone in early voting. He notes that he's going to the LSU-Alabama game. "Two great teams. Two great teams."

At his speech on his judicial confirmations, Trump segues from his prepared shout-out to John Cornyn to some additional mockery of Beto O'Rourke.
Trump began by accurately citing his number of appointments to the federal bench. He's over 155 in total; as of late October, he was at 43 appeals court appointments, more than any other president through that point in the term dating back at least past Kennedy.
Trump on Mitch McConnell and judicial appointments: "Generations from now, Americans will know that Mitch McConnell helped save the constitutional rule of law in America. It's true."

Trump said last week that he had a "meeting set up" between the family of Harry Dunn and the woman who killed him in a car crash, Anne Sacoolas, but then lawyers got involved and it was called off.

Dunn family spokesman Radd Seiger tells me that is a "lie."
Dunn spokesman Seiger says a White House aide called him and asked the family to come meet with a "senior government official" who turned out to be Trump. On the train from NY, Seiger says, they talked about how maybe Sacoolas would be there, but thought the idea was "ludicrous."
Seiger described Trump's attempt to broker a meeting as an ambush -- Trump surprised them by telling them that Sacoolas was in the next room. Seiger said he looked at Dunn's parents, "who were terrified," and told Trump no, this wasn't the time or place for a meeting.

REMARKS BY PRESIDENT TRUMP
BEFORE MARINE ONE DEPARTURE

South Lawn • 12:26 P.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Would you like to talk to me? I’m shocked. I'm shocked. Yes, go ahead.
Q What would you like to know about the whistleblower?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, the whistleblower gave a very inaccurate report. And, as you know, certain of the media released information about a man that they said was the whistleblower; I don't know if that's true or not.
But what they said is he's an Obama person. It was involved with Brennan; Susan Rice, which means Obama. But he was like a big -- a big anti-Trump person. Hated Trump. And they -- they said terrible things.

Now, I don't know if it's true or not, but that was reported by some of

President Trump on the whistleblower:

"You know who it is, you just don't want to report it. CNN knows who it is, but you don't want to report it."
"The whistleblower should be revealed because the whistleblower gave false stories."
"Why didn't the lieutenant colonel say that he wrote a letter to the White House with certain little comments about the phone call?" 👀

Trump once said “Islam hates us”, today New Zealand’s terrorist praised him as a “symbol of renewed white identity”.
White nationalism has proven to be the “quite killer, but no one talks about the dangerous rhetoric white nationalists push through politicians and media pundits.
#Trump tweets about the terrorist attacks in New Zealand, however, failed to mention:
•Muslims were killed
•Didn’t call out the terrorist who praised him
•Muslims today didn’t just “sensesssly died” but they were “killed” in cold blood.
•“Best wishes” is not a condolence.
“#Hello Brother" were the last words by the first Muslim man to be shot and killed by the coward terrorist.
Let that sink in.

#Trump admin, #GOP: Please stop lying. We have the receipts.

Trump cult: Please stop citing Christian values as you support this cruelty. You make a mockery of the religion you claim to fervently follow. You know dang well this isn't how Jesus wanted us to treat each other.
As one who attended Catholic grade school all 6 years, I had the Bible and Jesus' words drilled into my brain. What the zealot "Christians" are espousing as religious values on people who are "different" than you - immigrants, LGBTQ, etc. - is a far departure from The Word.
