NOW: @realDonaldTrump is telling @MariaBartiromo he won't debate @JoeBiden if it's done remotely.

"No, I'm not gonna waste my time on a virtual debate, that's not what debating is all about."

"I don't think I'm contagious at all," @realDonaldTrump says.

(he is still contagious)

"Remember this — when you catch it you get better. And then you're immune," @realDonaldTrump adds.

This is false because many people — over 210,000 in the US — have not gotten better. They're dead.

"I don't have heart problems, I don't have diabetes, I don't have any of the problems that you read about," @realDonaldTrump claims.

If he's specifically denying things unprompted, there's a reason for it.

"I think I would have done it fine without drugs, you know, you don't really need drugs," Trump says, moments after talking up his bespoke treatment as a "cure" (it is not a cure)

Trump now complaining about his impeachment trial. It's October. The trial was in January.

Trump is now openly calling for the arrest of his predecessor and his election opponent on national television: "[T]hese people should be indicted this was the greatest political crime in the history of our country. And that includes Obama, and it includes Biden."

.@MariaBartiromo, sounding more and more frantic, asks @realDonaldTrump if he will fire @FBI Director Christopher Wray in a second term.

Trump responds: "I don't want to say that now" but says Wray "has been disappointing."

He’s complaining about Wray participation in this video warning about election security

🚨🚨🚨 @realDonaldTrump now making a bunch of false and discredited claims about vote-by-mail, says he has law enforcement, US Attorneys and US Marshals watching Nevada @GovSisolak "very strongly"

.@realDonaldTrump claims Qasem Soleimani was "the worst terrorist in 50 years."

(I suspect the families of 9/11 victims would like a word)

.@realDonaldTrump is now claiming (without any evidence) that @JoeBiden will die in office within two months of being sworn in, making @KamalaHarris, who he falsely claims is "a communist," the 47th President.

CONTEXT ALERT: Only one of the two candidates has COVID and has taken secret hospital trips on which he's forced doctors to sign NDAs.

(hint: It's not @JoeBiden)

"Nobody ever heard of tariffs" before he started imposing them, @realDonaldTrump says.

(Messrs. Smoot and Hawley would like a word)

"They didn't even know what it meant," @realDonaldTrump says of his opponents and tariffs.

In fact, @realDonaldTrump does not know what tariffs mean because he is still claiming they're paid by China and not American companies/consumers.

"Two weeks ago, they [China] made the largest order of corn in history, the largest order of soybeans in history, because they want to keep me happy," says @realDonaldTrump

He makes this claim on a regular basis. It's never true.

Trump says "I'm gonna have to get involved" in the Justice Department because @HillaryClinton has not been indicted for deleting emails.

"Forget about what was on the emails, it's irrelevant," @realDonaldTrump says, moments after saying he will "have to get involved" because @HillaryClinton hasn't been indicted for deleting those emails.

"Winston Churchill didn't sit in his basement for six months," says @realDonaldTrump, who is clearly unaware that Churchill spent most of World War II sleeping in a bunker in downtown London. iwm.org.uk/events/cabinet…

.@realDonaldTrump says he is not longer taking any of the bespoke/unapproved COVID treatments he falsely claims are "cures," but is still taking the steroid that causes euphoria, etc.

.@realDonaldTrump closes interview by again calling for @HillaryClinton to be indicted for — wait for it — withholding documents from Congress.

(really)

Trump now attacking Loretta Lynch and @BillClinton for 2016 tarmac meeting as well.

Trump now saying it's "[his] opinion" that Bill Clinton promised Lynch a SCOTUS seat or another term as AG during that 2016 meeting, and admitting that FBI agents from the New York Field Office leaked confidential info to the @nypost to hurt Clinton/help him.

"Nobody's ever done what I've done for the black community, other than Abraham Lincoln...and people don't even challenge me on it," @realDonaldTrump claims.

(This is not true anywhere but in his imagination)

.@JoeBiden is "not mentally capable of being president," says @realDonaldTrump (who offers no evidence and is currently on steroids with known mental side effects) before calling @KamalaHarris a "monster"

Ouch, @realDonaldTrump says @DonaldJTrumpJr "wouldn't have a chance" if he ran for mayor of New York because "you couldn't win as a Republican."

@RudyGiuliani ran as a Republican and won twice. @MikeBloomberg won as a Republican as well.

Trump now making a bunch of ridiculous claims about Churchill giving speeches on rooftops in the midst of the Blitz during World War II.

"your stock markets will crash" if Democrats are elected says @realDonaldTrump, who tanked stock markets the other day with a single tweet.
