Daniel Dale does Trump's Kentucky rally

He also said, "This reminds me of '16."

Trump hails the return of pastor Andrew Brunson from captivity in Turkey. He asks the crowd if they can handle all of his victories. He thanks Erdogan, whom he calls "terrific."

Trump keeps saying that Hurricane Michael had winds of close to 200 miles per hour. All of the reporting was that it came ashore with 155 miles per hour winds.

Trump is recounting his 2016 victory in Kentucky in the voice of a newscaster calling the state for him, as he does.

Trump says that he'd like to walk into a room that does not have lots of cameras in it. Fact check?

Trump on Brett Kavanaugh: "Never has a man been treated so badly. What happened to him was so unfair, I've never seen anything like it. And we stuck with him all the way, because we knew the facts."

Trump once began claiming that he has fulfilled more promises than he promised. Then he started attributing that claim to an unnamed person. Today he attributed it to the "fake news media."

Trump calls up Mitch McConnell. They do a handshake/side-hug. McConnell: "Aren't we proud of President Trump?" He touts the high number of judges this Senate has confirmed.

Trump's framing of the midterms: "You can either vote for Democrat mob rule or you can vote for a Republican party that stands proudly for law and order, fairness, freedom and justice. Simple as that." He's going big on this Democrats-as-"mob" thing.

Trump says "we had Obamacare repealed and replaced," and the crowd cheers because they think he's listing an accomplishment, but then Trump finishes the sentence and says it didn't happen, because "we didn't get one Democrat vote."

They don't have a clue what he's done.  Only what he's saying.

Trump says that not everybody knows how good a person both Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell are. He says, "There's something that happens to you when you grow up in Kentucky, I guess." Paul did not grow up in Kentucky.

Trump on Kentucky in 2016: "What did we win by, 38? 38!" He won by 30 points, 63 to 33.

Always.  Good is never good enough. He is compelled to exaggerate EVERYthing.

Trump lies that there are "25,000" or "35,000" or some other "crazy number" of people outside the rally watching on screens. The Post's @wpjenna was out there when the line got cut off and took a photo of the small group that has stayed.

He always says that about his rallies.

[Rep. Andy] Barr and Trump mock Hillary Clinton's "I'm with her" slogan from 2016. Trump says, "She paid a lot of money for that slogan." He says his own slogan, Make America Great Again, is "the greatest slogan anybody will ever come up with," but he has to change it, to Keep America Great.

Trump lies of the diversity visa lottery: "These countries set up lotteries..." There is one lottery, and it is conducted by the U.S. State Department, not foreign countries.

"We've added nearly 600,000 manufacturing jobs," Trump says of the 378,000 manufacturing jobs added between January 2017 and the end of last month.

Trump lies: "Remember I got 52%...the fake news, remember...they were all saying he will not do well with women. Wow did we do well with women...fake news." He got 52% of white women alone, 41-42% of all women.

The only people who count are white people.

Trump says his successful pressuring of Pfizer happened "three weeks ago." It happened in July. Trump again claims that he's bringing drug prices down. While he did get Pfizer and Novartis to delay some increases, the Associated Press found "96 price increases for every price reduction in the first seven months of this year." Trump then says he got the medical Right to Try bill passed "a month and a half ago." That happened in May. Again, he perpetually moves old good news closer to the present to make it sound like he has recent momentum.

Trump repeats his usual lie that he was the one who passed the Veterans Choice program that nobody could get passed for "40 years," and that he independently thought of this idea before being told about this doomed 40 years of non-passage. It was passed under Obama in 2014.

Trump: "We, unlike the Democrats, will protect Medicare and protect Social Security." There's no basis for his frequent suggestions that Democrats will target these for cuts.

Is there any basis for ANYthing he says other than self-promotion?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
