Trump blatantly lies to Turning Point Action, claims California signed an agreement with Judicial Watch stipulating that 1.5 million people in the statement "voted illegally." (The agreement says no such thing.)
Delusional stuff from Trump: "The radical left demands absolute conformity from every professor, researcher, reporter, journalist, corporation, entertainer, politician, campus speaker, and private citizen."
"The left-wing mob is trying to demolish our heritage so they can replace it with a new repressive regime that they alone control. They're tearing down statues, desecrating monuments, & purging dissenters ... it's the behavior or totalitarians & tyrants." -- Trump
On coronavirus, Trump claims Democrats "are trying to do their best to keep the country shut down and closed because they'd love those numbers not to be good, but there's not a lot they're going to be able to do about it."
Trump claims that the military is now working on a "hydrosonic" (lol) missile, then takes credit for Veterans Choice legislation that was actually signed into law by President Obama in 2014
In the same breath, Trump brags about eliminating the ACA's individual mandate but then says, "we will always protect people with preexisting conditions." (Trumpcare would've stripped health insurance from tens of millions of people.)
"I could build numerous walls with all the money I have" -- I'm so old I remember when Trump promised Mexico was going to pay for his wall
Trump once against refers to coronavirus with the racist "Kung Flu" moniker, prompting huge cheers from his Turning Point Action audience. He then expresses confusion about what the "19" in "Covid-19" stands for.
Trump starts to talk about the coronavirus but then gets sidetracked by bashing the media and then gets sidetracked by his audience and then gets sidetracked by bashing Joe Biden. This clip ends with him attacking Nancy Pelosi. It's stream of consciousness.
"When you have all those tests, you have more cases. So the news covers it, 'they have more cases!' Well, yeah ... we did the right thing. Now we open" -- Trump again expresses appalling ignorance about the relationship between testing and coronavirus cases in the US
"Before the plague came in, we had the best of everything" -- Trump's economic boasts are all now in the past tense, which is a huge problem for his reelection hopes
Trump, who earlier this speech argued on behalf of Confederate monuments, claims: "We embrace the noble vision of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., and believe that people should not be judged based on the color of their skin, but the content of their character."
Trump pushes made-up conspiracy theories to discredit mail-in voting. (The only actual example of mail-in election fraud he's cited is a "pants on fire" lie https://www.vox.com/2020/4/9/21214821/trump-mail-in-voting-election-fraud-evidence-coronavirus)
TRUMP: "This will be, in my opinion, the most corrupt election in the history of our country. And we cannot let this happen."
Trump pushes a false equivalency: "People went to the polls & voted during World War 1. They went to the polls & voted during World War 2. We can safely go to the polls & vote during Covid-19." (Soldiers during those wars voted by mail.)
Trump short-circuits when he tries to read the word "deployed"
wut
Trump on protesters who tried to tear down a statue of Andrew Jackson near the White House: "A lot of spoiled people in that group, you know. A lot of spoiled -- a lot of spoiled, rich people."

"America's frownders"
