bragged about receiving a non-existent award?

The award in question was a hand-painted of the Brigade 2506 shield, which Trump received in 2016 during a visit to Miami’s Bay of Pigs museum. Brigade 2506 was the CIA-sponsored group of Cuban exiles formed to overthrow Fidel Castro’s government.

said Biden was controlled by “people that are in the dark shadows”?

In an August 31, 2020 Fox News interview, Trump alleged a conspiracy about opponent Joe Biden, who had been a centrist Democrat for 47 years of public service.

INGRAHAM: Who do you think is pulling Biden’s strings. Is it former Obama people?

TRUMP: People that you’ve never heard of. People that are in the dark shadows. People that are-

INGRAHAM: What does that mean? That sounds like conspiracy theory. Dark shadows, what is that?

TRUMP: People that you haven’t heard of. There are people that are on the streets. There are people that are controlling the streets. We had somebody get on a plane from a certain city this weekend and in the plane, it was almost completely loaded with thugs wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms with gear and this and that. They’re on a plane.

INGRAHAM: Where is-

TRUMP: I’ll tell you sometime, but it’s under investigation right now. But they came from a certain city, and this person was coming to the Republican National Convention. And there were like seven people on the plane like this person. And then a lot of people were on the plane to do big damage. They were coming-

INGRAHAM: Planning for Washington.

TRUMP: Yeah, this is all happening.

INGRAHAM: But the money is coming from somewhere. How can it be tracked?

TRUMP: Money is coming from some very stupid rich people, that have no idea that if their thing ever succeeded, which it won’t, they will be thrown to the wolves like you’ve never seen before.

Trump seemed to be vaguely referencing protesters, who he also alleged had kept the city of Portland burning for “decades.” In the same interview, Trump compared killings by police to choking at golf.

retweeted Russian propaganda about Biden?

On August 16, 2020, Trump retweeted audio purportedly between Biden and former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko from a February 18, 2016 recording.

Trump’s retweet of what intelligence officials already confirmed to be Russian propaganda. CNN

The video had already been described by US intelligence officials as part of a Russian campaign to attack and spread conspiracy theories against Trump’s 2020 opponent, Joe Biden.

The excerpt of the retweeted conversation centers on the ouster of Ukraine’s chief prosecutor, who had previously investigated the owner of a Ukraine energy company where Biden’s son, Hunter, once held a board seat. During the Obama administration, Biden led the charge to oust the prosecutor in the first place, with backing from several European allies, because of his failure to pursue corruption cases.

The account that originally tweeted the recording was suspended.

Trump has also tweeted a video about Biden flagged by Twitter for being misinformation, and in another instance, had his account restricted for spreading misinformation about COVID-19.

propagated a birther conspiracy about Kamala Harris?

Days after Kamala Harris was selected to be Joe Biden’s running mate, Trump repeated and amplified false claims about her eligibility to be Vice President at an August 13, 2020 press conference. A new birther conspiracy theory alleged that because Harris’ parents were not both naturalized citizens, she herself would not have been “a citizen at birth.”

Kamala Harris was born in Oakland, California, and is a natural born citizen. Still, Trump, his staff, and his campaign manager have avoided directly acknowledging Harris’ eligibility to run for the office.

Trump was also famously a proponent of the Obama birther conspiracy, wherein he claimed that Obama was Kenyan-born, and so not eligible to be President.

suggested that men would be insulted by Biden choosing a woman running mate?

In an August 11, 2020 interview with Fox Sports personality and OutKick founder Clay Travis, Trump suggested that men were insulted at Biden’s decision to choose a female candidate to run as Vice President.

TRUMP: Well, I think that I would be inclined to go a different route than what he’s done, doing it the way he, first of all, he roped himself into a certain group of people, which is fine.

 

TRAVIS: He said he had to pick a woman.

 

TRUMP: He said that. Some people would say that men are insulted by that. Some people would say it’s fine. I don’t know.

retweeted a Biden video that Twitter later tagged as “manipulated media”?

The video was originally tweeted by White House Director of Social Media and Assistant to the President Dan Scavino before being retweeted by Trump.

In the video, Biden says, “Because we cannot re-elect … we cannot win this re-election … Excuse me, we can only re-elect Donald Trump.” The video cut the rest of what Biden said, “We can only re-elect Donald Trump if in fact we get engaged in this circular firing squad here. It’s gotta be a positive campaign, so join us.”

It is the first video marked as manipulated by Twitter since they announced such measures.

Trump later threatened to leave social media after again being flagged for misinformation, and in a separate instance had his account temporarily suspended.

lied about the Ukranian President exonerating him from any wrongdoing?

Trump claimed that the Ukrainian President had exonerated him from any wrongdoing in the quid pro quo scandal in which he asked for dirt on Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden. The scandal ultimately led to his impeachment.

The claim was made about an interview Time had had with the Ukrainian President. The Ukrainian President made no such remarks in the interview.
