Trump has started a bit early. He lies that this is "the largest trade agreement" the U.S. has "ever negotiated." TPP included Mexico, Canada, and also nine other countries.
Trump says Democratic Tennessee Senate candidate Phil Bredesen will oppose their Second Amendment. He is a gun owner, had an A rating from the NRA as governor (it's now a D), is running ads touting his gun rights support.
Trump lies that California governor candidate Gavin Newsom says he wants no borders and no ICE. He does not endorse the abolition of ICE (calls for "fundamental reforms"), very obviously has not called for the abolition of borders.
"This country will never be Venezuela," Trump says to cheers.
Trump says the election is a choice between a Republican Party that believes in building the country and a Democratic Party that is "trying to burn our future down."
Yes, that's why the Democrats have decided to trash environmental regulations. Oh, wait. That's the Trump administration.
Trump repeats his Saturday line about how Democrats are willing to do anything and hurt anyone to get their way, "like they're doing with Judge Kavanaugh." He says Dems are trying to destroy him because of how he interprets the Constitution.
You mean, he's an "activist judge"?!
Trump repeats his usual language about Elizabeth Warren: "They have moved so far left that Pocahontas is considered a conservative." He tells Warren: "Pleeease, please run."2020's campaign is going to be so horrible.
Trump says he would love to have a fistfight with Joe Biden, referring to Biden once saying he wanted to fight him. He says he calls Biden "1% Biden," because of how badly he did in Democratic primaries. He says Obama "took him off the trash heap."
"Democrats are the party of crime," says the president whose campaign chairman, deputy campaign chairman, personal lawyer and national security adviser have been convicted of crimes.That's why the bipartisan bill adding tens of billions of dollars to "defense" recently passed with no trouble.
Trump on what will happen if Democrats win the Senate: "Second Amendment, higher taxes, lots of crime, MS-13 get used to them, no ICE."
Trump is telling the story about how he did very well in early voting in Tennessee in 2016. As usual, he says people were coming out of the mountains. This time, he adds that people were also coming out of the rivers.
Trump adds, of Democrats, "They're going to flood your streets with criminal aliens." He lies that Democrats not only want to weaken the military, they don't want to spend "any" money on the military.
"Democrats in Washington want to raid Medicare to pay for their socialism." This is a scripted line the president is repeating in speech after speech.
Neither he nor his audience understand irony.
Trump gets a bit lost in trying to justify his claim that Democrats are "the party of crime": "You look at what they're doing in Congress - even look at what they're doing with our LAWS. The way they ---- treat our laws. The way they treat our country."
Trump tells a story about an unauthorized immigrant murdering someone. He's going heavy on immigration/ICE/MS-13 in Tennessee.
Trump: "We've added nearly 600,000 new manufacturing jobs. That wasn't supposed to happen." The economy added 348,000 manufacturing jobs between January 2017 and the end of August.
Trump on how well he's doing with African-Americans: "How good was Kanye West?"
Trump repeats his now-regular lie about Obama saying there'd be no more manufacturing jobs. Trump repeats his regular lie about Hillary Clinton claiming KORUS trade deal would create 250,000 jobs. Trump repeats his regular lie about women's unemployment being at a 65-year low.
Trump repeats his regular lie about the U.S. having a trade deficit with China as high as $500 billion, which has never happened once. Trump has now said this more than 70 times. I am bored of tweeting about it.
"We just passed Choice. That was 44 years, they'd been trying to pass Choice." He adds: "We're good at passing things." Choice was passed during Obama's presidency. The new law merely modifies the Choice program. That is at least the 18th time Trump has made this claim.
Trump lies that his $716 billion military budget is a record. Obama did $725 billion in 2011. That's the 18th time he's said this. Trump then lies that he provided the biggest troop pay raise in "over a decade." It's the biggest in nine years. These needless ones are the Trumpiest lies. He could just boast that he's given the troops the biggest raise in nine years, or "in a decade," and nobody would say anything, but he must make it "over a decade" because the truth is never good enough.
Trump says there are "close to 20,000 people standing outside" watching his rally on big screens. Anyone on the scene out there? Trump claims there were "45,000 people" standing outside watching his Missouri rally: "45,000." There is a 0% chance that is true. Anyone have a number?
Donald J. Trump: "We're unleashing the power of faith. We need more faith in this country."
Trump: "A vote for Republicans is a vote to reject the Democrat politics of anger, destruction, chaos."
Trump on his presidency: "Look at what we've done. Nobody believes it."
Tears Alert! Trump says he was approached tonight by a "strong, tough cookie, I wouldn't want to fight him," and the man was crying, and the man told him, "Thank you for saving our country." This tears tale was especially-obviously invented. He began by talking about how strong, tough cookies sometimes approach him tearfully, then suddenly added that it actually happened tonight.
Trump is recounting his 2016 victories in various specific states in 2016, in the voice of someone else announcing that he has won. He says, "Was that the greatest evening? Like, everrr? Was that like the greatest evening?"
Trump is on a very impassioned rant about the greatness of election night 2016. He claims that CNN's John King's hand was trembling as King tapped his magic board. I do not think that happened.
Trump hails Davy Crockett and Andrew Jackson.
Trump says Ted Cruz is doing very well and is going to win.
"What color should we make the shirts?"
"Orange, of course!"
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
