Trump falsely claims that EU leaders refused to meet with Presidents Obama and Bush pic.twitter.com/y5OtUfp2P3— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) February 25, 2019
Trump mimics President Xi’s Chinese accent, then laments that drug-related trials in America “last 19 years.” (They don’t.)“At the end of it, the judge dies, everybody dies — the only one living is the one who did the damage,” he says.
His audience is in stunned silence. pic.twitter.com/0YDBMCeDcZ

For second time in a single speech, Trump’s mind wanders to fantasies about kidnapping taped-up women: “How about the name ‘coyote’? They have people tied up, put in the back of trucks & vans. They can’t go through checkpoints…you can’t have women sitting there who are tied up” pic.twitter.com/03vM3AzRse— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) February 25, 2019
It’s amazing how easily Trump makes stuff up. Here he is saying Prime Minister Abe told him Japanese car companies plan to open “7 different plants in a very short period of time.”Coincidentally, that’s the same number of (fake) new US Steel plants Trump used to boast about. pic.twitter.com/ns8U6rIxGc
