Trump Uses Old Business Owner in Photo Op Current Owner Refused Photo
Trump did a photo-op in front of a Kenosha business with its owner. "A day earlier would have saved his store,” said Trump. But it wasn't the real owner, who had refused to join the photo-op. So Trump just pretended a prior owner was still in charge. https://t.co/JLXfDmhLSz pic.twitter.com/wddktkxXJl — Don Moynihan (@donmoyn) September 2,…

This is absurd and strawman arguing. Tara Reade has been proven to be a serial fabulist, a serial accuser ## AND ## a serial swindler. Sure, I agree, let's take the serial swindler part out. She's still a serial fabulist / accuser and that ABSOLUTELY is relevant. https://t.co/Hq2BtJ2Ex8 — Jud Lounsbury (@JudLounsbury) May 24, 2020

Predictably, Trump Comes Up Empty on Foxconn
From The White House’s official transcript:
This is just the beginning. This is one of the largest plants in the world. And when you think in terms of 20 million feet — if you build in Manhattan a million-foot building, that’s a very big building. They don’t get much bigger. And here you’re talking about more. Think of it: more than 20 million feet. And that’s probably going to be a minimal number.
So I’m thrilled to be here in the Badger State with the hardworking men and women of Foxconn working with you. Moments ago, we broke ground on a plant that will provide jobs for much more than 13,000 Wisconsin workers. (Applause.) Really something. Really something. Thank you, fellas.
