Trump vs. THE FACTSA sampling from Saturday night and the past week: RALLY TRUMP, saying Biden accused him of being xenophobic for limiting travel from China, where the pandemic began: "He apologized a month later.” THE FACTS: This didn't happen. Biden did not apologize. He actually supported Trump's travel restrictions. TRUMP: "We passed VA Choice. ... It's never happened before.” THE FACTS: A false and frequent statement, pilfering from President Barack Obama's record. VA Choice, which gives veterans opportunities under certain conditions to get private health care at public expense, passed during the Obama administration. Trump signed legislation expanding the program. VIRUS THREAT TRUMP: “Biden got failing grades and polls on his clueless handling of the Swine Flu H1N1. It was a total disaster, they had no idea what they were doing.” — tweet Thursday. THE FACTS: This is a distorted history of a pandemic in 2009 that killed far fewer people in the United States than the coronavirus is killing now. For starters, Joe Biden, as vice president, wasn’t running the federal response. Federal public health officials were not at all flying blind when the H1N1 pandemic, also known as swine flu, came to the U.S. VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE: “Oklahoma has really been in the forefront of our efforts to slow the spread. And in a very real sense, they’ve flattened the curve. ... The number of cases in Oklahoma — it’s declined precipitously.” — remarks Monday. THE FACTS: The curve has actually been spiking higher since late May, not flattening. JUNETEENTH TRUMP: “I did something good: I made Juneteenth very famous. ... It’s actually an important event, an important time. But nobody had ever heard of it.” — Wall Street Journal interview Wednesday. THE FACTS: It's not true that no one had heard of it. No doubt it is better known now. POLICE PRACTICES TRUMP, on abusive policing: “President Obama and Vice President Biden never even tried to fix this during their eight-year period. The reason they didn’t try is because they had no idea how to do it.” — Tuesday at the White House. THE FACTS: That is false. Under the Obama administration, the Justice Department opened 25 wide-ranging civil rights investigations into local law enforcement agencies across the country, including police departments in Chicago, Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri. Those investigations were aimed at overhauling troubled departments with patterns of civil rights abuses and generally resulted in court-enforceable consent decrees requiring the agencies to commit to a series of fundamental changes with regard to the use of force, stops, searches and more. Besides that, the Obama White House established a task force to come up with best policing practices and to recommend ways to improve community trust while also reducing crime. That task force released its report in 2015. That year, President Barack Obama barred the government from supplying certain types of military equipment to local police departments, a policy Trump reversed two years later. VACCINES TRUMP, on scientists: “These are the people – the best, the smartest, the most brilliant anywhere, and they’ve come up with the AIDS vaccine. They’ve come up with ... various things.” — Tuesday at the White House. THE FACTS: No one has come up with a vaccine for AIDS, nor is there a cure. Nearly 38,000 people were diagnosed with HIV infection in the U.S. and about 1.7 million globally in 2018, according to the latest totals. VETERANS TRUMP, talking about what he's done for veterans: “Every VA medical facility now offers same-day emergency mental health, something we didn’t have or even come close to having.” — remarks Wednesday. THE FACTS: That's false. Same-day mental health service started at VA before Trump took office in January 2017. The VA's effort to provide same-day primary and mental health care when medically necessary at every VA medical center was publicized in April 2016, during the Obama administration. By late 2016, the department’s blog announced that goal would be achieved by year’s end. TRUMP, on efforts to reduce the suicide rate by veterans: “We’re working very hard on this problem, and I think we’ve made a tremendous amount of progress. I even noticed your number: 20. Twenty is different than 24. You know what that means: each day. Hard to believe. Each day. But 20 is a big difference, and we’re getting it way down.” — remarks Wednesday. THE FACTS: No. The veterans’ suicide rate hasn’t improved at all during Trump’s administration. Suicides have gone up by the latest measure. The VA estimated in 2013 that 22 veterans were taking their lives each day on average (not 24, as Trump put it). But the estimate was based on data submitted from fewer than half the states. In 2016, VA released an updated estimate of 20 suicides per day, based on 2014 data from every state as well as the Pentagon. That's the figure Trump wrongly claimed as his own. Last fall, VA changed how it counted, removing some active-duty service members and former members of the National Guard and Reserve who had been in the mix. That left a suicide rate of 17 per day by military veterans, a change that reflected no improvement but merely a different methodology. For 2017, VA reported 6,139 suicides by military veterans, up by 139 from the year before. www.tulsaworld.com/news/national/govt-and-politics/ap-fact-check-trump-at-rally-falsely-cites-a-biden-apology/article_a70e2f54-4d67-53b7-a602-8bc4eb08d5de.html

Don't know if that is where she got the idea, but my 13 year old great niece ordered 8 tickets and received them. She lives in NC ---and there is no way on this earth that she nor her parents would even go near a Trump rally.

Are they going to say that real Trump supporters were not given tickets because of the Zoomers? Or did they still give tickets to everyone that asked for them and it was first come first served, and this is who showed up?

I think the real impact was people may have thought there was no way they’d get in because “so many” people wanted to attend, so they didn’t bother to show up.

Oh, yes ----and next will be the many disappointed because the ticket didn't come. However, it was my understanding that everyone who wanted a ticket got it, and that is why they planned the outside rally that didn't happen.

Okay, my favorite tweet of the day: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Actually you just got ROCKED by teens on TikTok who flooded the Trump campaign w/ fake ticket reservations & tricked you into believing a million people wanted your white supremacist open mic enough to pack an arena during COVID Shout out to Zoomers. Y’all make me so proud. This made my day. I was reading about this last evening and this morning on twitter. Trump was punked by teenage America. There is hope for the future. ETA: My daughter just told me that she knew about it from TikTok.

Oh, how I wish the news media would use that picture in the little square of every broadcast when they are talking about the Orange Menace! That is hilarious. I wonder what his handlers slipped in his cocoa last night to calm him down. I can’t even imagine the tirade that must have ensued after the event.

Meme makers will be so sad and out of work when his term is over. Oh, I don't think so. He's not gonna stop attention seeking just by losing an election. And everytime the next president is praised for something, he's gonna have to tweet about how he thinks they did it first but no one gave him any credit and it's SO UNFAIR. And I expect the meme makers to shut that nonsense down, full force.

Lol. A “million” isn’t what it used to be.
The liability waiver might have contributed to the sparse attendance, too. Those with insurance are said to pay an average $30,000 out-of-pocket, and the uninsured on the hook for up to $70,000 for COVID hospitalization and treatment, although figures are all over the place.
No matter how much you love your president, money is money.

Hey, but the My Pillow guys was there, so it’s a win. for the state of Minnesota to have him out of there, if not just for a bit. (assuming that's where he still lives)
