1/24 This weekend was one of the biggest blizzards of gaslighting & lies from Trump about both his accomplishments & current efforts in his entire tenure.

It began with Trump signing an EO about pre-existing conditions - which Obamacare already covers. https://www.axios.com/trump-executive-order-insurance-preexisting-conditions-6482b96a-e9fe-4efe-8d40-141d1adee730.html">https://www.axios.com/trump-exe...
3/24 The lie signals how both Trump and Republicans are keenly aware that they are vulnerable on health care issues.

It is a poor attempt to re-write history, one that has not worked for them in the past. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/10/trump-executive-order-on-pre-existing-393312">https://www.politico.com/news/2020...

6/24 This was just the tip of the iceberg, though. Trump went on to "sign four Executive Orders", as his campaign has been claiming far and wide in solicitation e-mails.

Here are two that were in my own e-mail box:
7/24 Only one of the four was an actual Executive Order... and even it doesn& #39;t actually DO anything. It directs the government to "find ways to help Americans facing eviction" without any actual policy because the GOP is balking at dealing with Democrats. https://twitter.com/tedlieu/status/1292224583106301952">https://twitter.com/tedlieu/s...
10/24 Today’s announcement that Trump was providing economic relief through executive action after Congress failed to pass a coronavirus bill was an attempt to drive a narrative that will give Trump an issue for the upcoming election. https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-8-2020 ">https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-...
16/24 Trump attempts to wrest tax and spending powers from Congress with new executive actions

The actions aim to temporarily extend unemployment aid and eviction protections https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/08/08/trump-executive-order-coronavirus/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/...
