Fact check: Trump's Orlando rally featured more than 15 false claims over 76 minutes
https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/19/politics/fact-check-trump-orlando-rally/index.htmlWashington (CNN)President Donald Trump kicked off his formal reelection campaign Tuesday night with a rally in Orlando. His 76-minute speech featured more than 15 false statements, many of them ones that he's repeated frequently in the past.
Here's a fact check:
Energy
Trump boasted about his administration's energy policies.
"And we've ended the last administration's cruel and heartless law on American energy. What they were doing to our energy should never be forgotten. The United States is now the number-one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world."
"We are, by the way, the number-one producer of energy in the world because of what we've done right now."

Pretty much everything coming out of Chump's mouth is a lie.
Did anyone else notice how when Chump talks to his audiences now, he almost sounds like a southern preacher with a New York accent? He uses cadences and voice tricks like a revival meeting huckster, but the New York accent is so jarring. My guess is somebody is coaching him, maybe Mike Huckabee. (?)
