Recap of President Trump’s Lies to the Press 08/11/2020

President Lying Liar that Lies held another press briefing on Tuesday. Surprisingly this one started only a few minutes past the announced time of 5:30 p.m. D.C. time.

For some reason he has deleted his tweet announcing his evening campaign rally.

There isn’t much point to posting a bunch of highlights, it was short and just basically crap.

The campaign event, pretty much went as follows.

He came out bashed liberals, lied about how great his admin has handled the coronavirus, after which he took what were obviously planted questions from reporters, that CBS News Paula Reid, called nicer names than I did while I was listening live.

President Trump called on a handful of mostly friendly reporters and then departed briefing.

He was of course asked about the recent announcement that Senator Kalama Harris (D-CA) has been picked as former Vice President Joe Biden’s 2020 Presidential campaign running mate.

Trump has a total meltdown, mispronounces Kamala Harris's name, accuses Obama and Joe Biden of treason, and calls Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas" all in the same rant. Trump is not handling the Harris news well. pic.twitter.com/z0hePzH5oa

The clip starts with him accusing former President Obama of spying on his campaign, which they did not do, he finally focuses on Harris where he calls her nasty, and shares that he was shocked Biden picked her.

Not sure who's asking this Harris question, but it was based on a false premise that Harris "lied" during the primary about listening to Tupac. Here's what actually happened. https://t.co/3U8fiN0dqg

From my view, Trump appeared to be reading from a prepared bullet list when he was criticizing Kamala Harris during the briefing. He hit her, then was asked about FISA abuse and Edward Snowden, but circled back to his list during that answer. pic.twitter.com/BdjlGL0QrN

Trump, serial liar and serial teller of fabricated stories, on Harris: "She is a person that's told many, many stories that weren't true."

There was no treason. Biden and Obama didn't get caught doing treason or doing campaign spying. This is nonsense.

I agree with Daniel Dale, that today, was awful. There really isn’t much to provide in the way of content because he honestly provided little content.

He did call his executive order an executive offer, which he corrected afterward. He also lies that the recently signed executive order would prevent people from being evicted in September. (33:51).

Asked about 20 million people due to be evicted next month, Trump says, "We're stopping evictions. We're not gonna let that happen." (?) He falsely alleges the Democrats "maybe they don't care"; Democrats wanted to continue the moratorium and provide rental assistance.

I will check the White House transcript to see how many times he called Harris “nasty,” but typically those aren’t posted until late at night or first thing the next morning.

Trump only took questions from friendly reporters during today's short press conference. He offered up a few more smears of Kamala Harris before skulking away from the podium. pic.twitter.com/7CJyAOBEX9

Full Presser.

Shortly after his presser President Low Energy announced that he’d once again be interviewed by super-duper fan Sean Hannity.

Will be interviewed tonight on @seanhannity at 9:00 P.M. @FoxNews

Hang on kids, with daily briefings appearing to be a new thing he is doing, I imagine we (I am, lol) in for a rough two and half ish months before election day.
