No, Trump didn’t predict Brexit the day before. No, the US didn’t perpetually lose at the WTO before Trump took office. No, ISIS didn’t control 100% of its caliphate when Trump took office. No, NATO spending wasn’t declining before Trump took office. cnn.com/2019/12/03/pol…
No, the US wasn’t without ammunition. No, most ISIS prisoners in Syria aren’t from Europe. No, Zelensky didn’t tell Time that Trump “did nothing wrong.” No, Trump isn’t being denied a lawyer at tomorrow’s hearing. No, China hasn’t lost $32 trillion. cnn.com/2019/12/03/pol…
No, the Dow wasn’t at 15,000 or 16,000 when Trump was elected or took office. No, South Korea didn’t increase its troop payments to the US by $500 million. No, Trump doesn’t have a 95% Republican approval rating. No, the record isn’t Ronald Reagan at “87.” cnn.com/2019/12/03/pol…

This tweet is not at all true. Clyburn didn’t call for Trump to be hanged; he called for a fair trial, and said McConnell’s pre-trial comments are like someone saying pre-trial that they’ll “give him a fair trial and hang him,” except from the reverse perspective.
There's a whole ecosystem that immediately picks up the campaign's complete nonsense and amplifies it to millions of people.

Trump is holding a campaign rally in Battle Creek, Michigan. Quotes and fact checks in this thread.
Pence is speaking first. He speaks a prepared line about how impeachment is happening because Democrats know they can't stop voters from giving Trump another term, then adds, as Trump often does, "It's true."
Pence boasts, as Trump has, "apprehensions on our southern border are down by 70%." They are only down that much from *the Trump-era peak in May*. They've been higher under Trump than they were in the late Obama era.

I don't think I can declare Trump's toilet claim false. He said "people" are flushing 15 times. It's too risky to render a firm conclusion on claims about "people." I can't have a guy emailing me videos of his flushes and calling me fake news.
For real: Trump's signature "some people"/"many people" construction is a challenge as a fact checker. In addition to the dozens of claims per week you can declare flat wrong, he says a lot of dubious stuff you can't declare flat wrong, often because of its vagueness.
I don't think Trump's vague claims should be ignored, left unchallenged, or not fact checked. They just (often) can't be included on a list of definitively false claims.

1) OK let's talk Turkey.
2) Here is the spreadsheet where I'll put information that is date-specific. Let's see if that works as a supplement to the thread.

1/ If you don’t follow Brexit every day, here’s some advice. Let go of any illusions that this drama is about trade protocols, residency rights or the status of the Irish border. Brexit is the story of a proud former imperial power undergoing a mid-life crisis
2/ The rest of the world is left listening to Britain’s therapy session as they drone on about their ex-spouse, unable to see, admit or address their own flaws.
3/ The promise of Brexit was that it would make Britain feel big again. “Britain is special,” the Brexiteers assured British voters, who cast their ballots accordingly. But Brexit has proven that for the first time in modern history, Britain is small.

#brexit seems to be all about feeling over fact and this is especially true of the ReesMogg ERG faction of the Tory right.
I never bought the line that #brexit is about Democracy because most of the Tory right had zero enthusiasm for improving democracy in the UK few of them care about unelected house of lords the unfair FPTP electoral system or transparency on the contrary
Most of the Tory right are interested only in constitutional changes that suit them and if anything strive to be as little democratically accountable as possible.
