Trump is on doing a #PressConference. So far he has lied about Biden, Obama, and the EU, made a racist "China Virus" comment, and is lying blatantly about our numbers and recovery.

In short:

Trump is pushing to get Big 10 football open again.

Recent studies showed that up to 35% of players in some teams hit by COVID-19 are having symptoms of myocarditis.

Trump's China ban did not happen when he says it did.

It did not do what he says it did.

It did not stop this virus.

Period.

Trump got played by China:

And here is Trump now claiming Biden is an anti-vaxxer, pushing the basement lies, pushing lies that his polls are dropping.

He has literally accused Biden of what is happening to him with the Woodward revelations, which he has YET to address in this rambling monstrosity.

And now swine flu. Trump doesn't seem to have a purpose to this #TrumpPressConference except to attack Biden and deflect from the undeniable fact that he lied and Americans died.

Trump has declared that there will be no more shutdowns. We'll see how long that lasts.

Okay, so this whole press conference has become one long rambling attack on Biden. And here comes Hunter Biden again.

Trump is on now to the Middle East again bragging about Syria and the oil and guarding the oil and bragging about making the Kurds' lives "much more pleasant" because "we have the oil", ignoring the betrayals and loss of their homes and many lives.

Trump is also talking about Pompeo and insisting once again that 'phony witch hunts' 'wasted his time.'

MSNBC has come in to start fact-checking him while they wait for him to start taking questions, noting his lies about early responses to the coronavirus, about numbers going down (they are not, they're still spiking), and his many many attacks on Biden.

Trump notes we're getting along "very very well" with the Taliban.

I bet he's never asked them how much they got from Russia for killing American soldiers.

Trump just made ominous comments about never wanting to use nuclear weapons.

First question to Trump was about Trump's lying about the coronavirus.

He immediately calls it a terrible question and claims it wasn't... and started rambling about Woodward. He is not answering the question. Now he is blaming Woodward for not reporting it.

And now he is attacking the journalist and ABC. The reporter breaks in to ask about how he said it was like the flu.

And now Trump is deflecting by asking about how many we've lost to the flu. The reporter brings it back to the "very strenuous, much more deadly".

And Trump deflects and says it is China's fault and once again claims he kept it from being 2-3 million people with his bans.

He did not. But he's on now to attacking Democrats.

Trump claims we're rounding the final turn, "a lot of good things are happening with vaccines and therapeutics."

We are not. There are some better treatments, but we're still losing over 1,000 people a day and one vaccine trial was just halted.

Trump is bragging about ventilators. The stockpile of ventilators was falling apart because the Trump regime did not take care of it. The Trump regime stole ventilators from other countries and states, then did not give it to places that needed it.

Trump has been asked about playing it down and hiding info, and claims that our numbers are far better than Europe and we're rounding the final turn.

Again, we are not, our numbers are the absolute worst, and #TrumpLiedAmericansDied.

Asked why he didn't talk about how it was spread and how it was airborne, Trump blames Bob Woodward and China and says "everybody knew that."

Only he denied it was an issue. #TrumpLiedAmericansDied

Trump throwing Bob Woodward under the bus for things he did is amazing. He also is claiming Bob Woodward didn't think any of this was bad and that HE should have taken action immediately.

I wonder if Trump knows that many of us agree that Woodward SHOULD have spoken up...

...but Trump is ultimately responsible for this.

And it looks like OANN just spoke up and brought up the Durham investigation in a desperate bid to deflect, and now Trump is gleefully spreading all of his usual lies about that.

Trump then: "I have the best words."

Trump now: "Because it's -treason, and other words can be used also."

Trump continues to gleefully push all of his lies about Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, so on.

He's clearly happy NOT to be talking about the giant pile of elephant dung in the room that is his responsibility for the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans.

Trump has just referenced "the dirty dossier" and called it "all made up."

Nothing in the Steele Dossier has been disproven. Many things in it have been proved.

MSNBC decided to stop airing this unless he says anything "newsworthy", noting how it is all full of lies.
