Trump makes at least 19 false and misleading claims in wild anti-Biden monologue

Donald Trump has long been fond of turning supposedly official events into de facto campaign rallies. Even by his own standards, though, his Tuesday speech was extreme.

Speaking in the White House Rose Garden, at what was billed as a "press conference" in which he would give remarks about China, Trump delivered a rambling 52-minute monologue filled with pre-scripted attacks on Democratic opponent Joe Biden.

As usual, Trump's comments were filled with egregious lies and other false claims. We haven't yet had a chance to comb through the entire transcript, but here is a list of the 19 false or misleading claims we have counted so far:

Biden and the suburbs

Trump said of an Obama-era housing rule meant to address racial segregation: "You're going to abolish the suburbs with this."

Facts First: This is nonsense. (To be specific, it is racially coded nonsense.) Diversifying or integrating suburbs does not abolish suburbs.

I was going to comment "Only 19?" but they go on to say they haven't sifted through all of Trump's BS.
