Trump is having a rally in Waterford Township, Michigan. Follow for a video thread.
Trump, one day after a record number of US single-day coronavirus infections, says, "we're rounding the corner ... this was China's fault. Just remember it."

He then looks to the heavens and adds, "that's all we want -- normal. Bring us back 7 months, that's what we want."
"You have to open up your states. We gotta get our governor to open up our state here, don't we? Don't worry, on November 4, all these Democrat-run states will be open," Trump says of Gretchen Whitmer, prompting "lock her up!" chants in Michigan.

"You're doing good. In other words, you're all doing good, right? It's a pandemic, and you're doing good. You gotta get this governor, you gotta get her to open." -- Trump
Trump does this at every rally but it's worth reiterating how bonkers his conspiracy theory about TV outlets turning off their camera when he starts attacking them is. It just doesn't happen. And yet here's Trump using it to whip his cult followers into a hate frenzy.
