Trump’s Latest Statemts.

[domer76]

* Trump said on Monday that a plane “almost completely loaded with thugs” wearing “dark uniforms” had been headed to the Republican National Convention to do “big damage.” The claim is similar to a baseless conspiracy theory that spread online over the summer, well before the convention.

* He has declined to condemn the killings of two protesters in Kenosha, Wis. He instead defended the 17-year-old charged in the shootings — a Trump supporter named Kyle Rittenhouse — saying he was acting in self-defense. Trump also promoted a Twitter post that called Rittenhouse “a good example of why I decided to vote for Trump.”

* He defended violence committed by his supporters in Portland, Ore., who fired paintballs and pepper spray at Black Lives Matter protesters.

* He compared the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha to missing “a three-foot putt” in a golf tournament.

* He claimed that “people that you’ve never heard of” and “people that are in the dark shadows” are controlling Joe Biden.

* He claimed Democrats were trying to “destroy” suburbs with “low-income housing, and with that comes a lot of other problems, including crime.” He added that Cory Booker — one of the highest-profile Black Democrats — would be “in charge of it.”

* He predicted that the stock market would crash if Biden won.

* He said that Biden, at the Democratic National Convention, “didn’t even discuss law enforcement, the police. Those words weren’t mentioned.” In fact, Biden held a discussion at the convention on policing, with a police chief.

* Trump claimed that he “took control of” the situation in Kenosha by sending in the National Guard. In fact, Wisconsin’s governor, not the president, sent the National Guard.

* He retweeted messages asserting that the pandemic’s death toll was overstated. Evidence indicates the opposite is true.

* He said that protests against police brutality were actually a secret “coup attempt” by anarchists “trying to take down the President.”

And you Trumptards question Biden’s mental capacity?

He's really off the rails. We've heard stories like the "thugs" line many, many times from him - particularly his lame response when he was asked for proof. Typical "it's being investigated - we'll get back to you on that."

It always takes me back to the birther times - when he said that he had a bunch of people investigating it and "couldn't believe" what they were finding.

He literally just makes things up, or hears crazy online stuff & just repeats it as fact. We've never had a Presidency like this.
