I didn't realize Business Insider was so liberal.
Riffing almost the entire time, Trump touched on his usual slate of favorite topics, delivering lines such as, "The pandemic, we're handling it very well. Look at the crowds."
Other topics mentioned included an incorrect claim that the border wall is almost done, how much farmers supposedly tell Trump they love China, complaints over how cable news channels covered the roll call vote earlier in the hour, and how Trump believes the country was more divided under President Barack Obama.
At one point, CNN cut away from his speech, citing the growing number of inaccurate claims Trump made about voting.

(7,220 posts)I was hoping pResident Needy Amin would do this. Just off-the-cuff whining and lying and blaming. If he had an ounce of self-restraint, they'd put together something like the Democrats did--something inspirational that might change the narrative (the MSM is SO easily fooled: "Oh, he's acting 'presidential', now he has finally grown into the job, blah blah blah" .
Remember before the 2016 elections when Tiffany and Don Jr speechified about what a great, loving father they had? I was worried they'd do a reprisal--maybe they still will. But who will believe it with the whiner-in-chief up there making it all about himself, refusing to take responsibility and just rehashing all his old schtick.
The NYAG new suit against the Rump organization isn't going to help lighten il Douche's mood either.
