President Donald Trump has long been fond of turning supposedly official events into de facto campaign rallies. Even by his own standards, though, his Tuesday speech was extreme.
Speaking in the White House Rose Garden, at what was billed as a "press conference" in which he would give remarks about China, Trump delivered a rambling 52-minute monologue filled with pre-scripted attacks on Democratic opponent Joe Biden.
As usual, Trump's comments were filled with egregious lies and other false claims. We haven't yet had a chance to comb through the entire transcript, but here is a list of the 19 false or misleading claims we have counted so far:

"Trump claimed that, after he imposed a travel "ban" on China, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was "dancing in the streets of Chinatown" in San Francisco"
"and Pelosi didn't dance. She just walked around Chinatown "
I like how they conflate false with misleading. It could be 19 statements that are slight exaggerations that do not include any false statements.
Is CNN also doing the same when Joe , Nancy , Barry ,The Wookiee and Chuck speak ?
Fact check: CNN wouldn’t know a fact if one ran them over with a bulldozer.
Well they’re kind of right, obviously Nancy didn’t “dance” because she had to have help to get up off the floor when she “took a knee”
You actually watched enough CNN to know how many “fact checks” they did? If I accidentally pick up a you tube video from CNN, I’m already gone.
This one is a howler:
“Polls on the Obama administration’s handling of H1N1 did not ask respondents about Biden in particular — and Obama’s own approval rating on handling the pandemic was significantly higher than Trump’s approval rating on handling the coronavirus pandemic.
Obama was at 57% approval on the pandemic in a CNN poll in the fall of 2009; Trump is now averaging 39% approval on the pandemic”
So they go back to their own bogus polls that puffed up Obama back then and are now used to denigrate Trump (or any other Republican). Really pointing out their trustworthiness on something like this, eh?
Fun fact: They can’t ‘fact check’ Biden because his babbling is too incoherent to actually determine what he means so fact checking is simply not possible.
Oh phew thank you CNN for correcting the record..instead of dancing she walked around the streets of Chinatown, oh thank you CNN, now I feel SO much smarter..OK now do Biden, etc etc, but we all know you wont since CNN is in the toilet for the far left commies
I’ve Mitted better turds than the four-eyed Twitter weasel-geek Daniel Dale.
It’s still less false and misleading claims that CNN makes on a daily basis.
Well yeah that helps when the media did not ever report on the swine flu..I dont even remember the darn swine flu, no shutdowns, no news coverage, no nothing..that’s what happens when you have a media in the pocket for the commie left
Not now, not ever. There just isn’t/wasn’t enough ink or paper or broadcast time to fit it in.
And CNN—of all things—is monitoring TRUTH????? This is the ultimate in many things—irony and chutzpah come immediately to mind!
CNN?????? You mean the channel that delivers more errors and fakeness than the mentally insane?
That’s right. Trump exaggerates - that’s part of his schtick. Some people find it endearing. Whatever.
The left will take advantage and now they are doing the same thing themselves. By claiming that a Trump exaggeration of an insignificant fact is a lie they themselves exaggerate. :-)
TRUMP FALSEHOODS: 73
CNN FALSEHOODS: 673,978
Not now, not ever. There just isn’t/wasn’t enough ink or paper or broadcast time to fit it in.
/S Do I have to?
