This one's obviously photoshopped, though in a sense it's substantially more 'real'....

'Asked for a direct response on “Fox News Sunday” to the question of whether he would accept the election results, Trump again said he will “have to see.”

“No, I’m not going to just say yes,” the president said, adding: “And I didn’t last time, either.”

Trump disputed polls that showed presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden at an advantage in some areas. He called Biden “mentally shot” and said the former vice president wouldn’t be able to sit through an interview with Wallace.

“He’ll be on the ground crying for mommy,” Trump said.

Wallace interviewed Biden on “Fox News Sunday” in March.'

'Trump Holds Up a Chart on Fox News That Shows He's Lying, Then Lies About What It Says

"Can you please get me the mortality rate?" Trump asked. "Kayleigh's right here," he explained to Wallace. "I heard we have one of the lowest, maybe the lowest mortality rate anywhere in the world," he added. "Do you have the numbers, please?" he asked McEnany. "Because I heard we had the best mortality rate."

The president's reference to an important metric, the percentage of his population that has been lost to the pandemic so far, as something he vaguely "heard" somewhere was not exactly reassuring.

At that point, McEnany stepped into frame and handed the president a chart. She was not wearing a microphone, but appeared to say: "This is the case fate– deaths in all these different eight countries[" ...]

Trump glanced at the chart quickly, realized that it was upside down, and then displayed it for a fraction of a second before pronouncing, falsely, that it was proof that the U.S. had the "number one low mortality rate." The chart, however, proved nothing of the kind.

That's because it was not a measure of global mortality rates at all. It was, as the title visible in a freeze-frame showed, a chart looking at an entirely different metric: the "Case Fatality Rate of Covid-19."

[...] What the chart showed was that the U.S. ratio of deaths to cases on Friday was squarely in the middle of those selected countries [...]

While he was bluffing Wallace about what was the piece of paper he flashed for the camera, Trump pressed the Fox anchor to make sure he included it in his broadcast, "because it shows what fake news is all about."

When Wallace replied that Fox would "put our stats on," Trump erupted. "You said we had the worst mortality rate in the world and we have the best!" he complained.

When the interview was broadcast, Fox briefly cut away from the exchange at that point to fact-check the issue. Unfortunately, Wallace and his producers made a complete mess of that, by also confusing the Covid-19 mortality rate with the case-fatality rate. [...] That data showed, Wallace said, that "the U.S. ranked seventh — better than the United Kingdom, but worse than Brazil and Russia."'

'Remember when Trump said the last 5 questions of his cognitive assessment were "really, really" hard? Here are three of those five:

Identify the similarity between a train and a bicycle.

Repeat the sentence: “The cat always hid under the couch when dogs were in the room.”

And name at least 11 words beginning with the letter “F” in one minute.'

'Anyone can buy the same military-style gear worn by federal officers making secretive arrests in Portland

[...] "You will not see names on their uniforms because these same violent criminals use this information to target them and their families, putting both at risk," Morgan said.

But the personnel in Portland had few identifiable patches or markings, which are normally worn by members of the armed forces and law-enforcement agencies. At least one officer had what appeared to be a nondescript Velcro patch on his left shoulder, standard for the military and some firearm enthusiasts, and a single "POLICE" patch on his tactical vest.

A variety of such patches are sold online, including ones marked "POLICE" and a near replica of the Department of Homeland Security's patch. [...]

The entire ensemble seen in the videos, down to the minivan, is readily available to consumers, making it exceedingly difficult to discern between a legitimate authority and a provocateur masquerading as one.'
