See, the Trumpies get all wound up from the stuff they read on their blog media and then Trump, knowing they're uneducated robots, says this stuff. They forget that there are facts...
"Well, based on the fact that we've just become -- and, you know, fairly recently, a little while ago, the number one oil and gas producer and energy producer in the world, by far -- Russia, Saudi Arabia, now second and third, based on the fact that we now have the best -- we will soon have the most modern military we have ever had with the best equipment, the best, newest planes and all of the things that we have done, and so many other things, Sean -- based on all of that, the last person they should want is me," he said.
Facts First: The US has not "just" become the world's top energy producer: it took the top spot in 2012, according to the US government's Energy Information Administration. It became the top producer of crude oil in particular during Trump's tenure.
"The United States has been the world's top producer of natural gas since 2009, when US natural gas production surpassed that of Russia, and it has been the world's top producer of petroleum hydrocarbons since 2013, when its production exceeded Saudi Arabia's," the Energy Information Administration says.
Crime "on the other side"
Trump repeated his claim that unspecified opponents of his broke the law.
"This crime was a -- the crime was committed on the other side, and we'll find out about that. We have a great attorney general who is looking at it. I'm not involved in that," he said.
Facts First: Several of Trump's former aides and allies have been convicted through the Mueller investigation. None of Trump's opponents have been convicted. Attorney General William Barr did assign a federal prosecutor to examine the origins of the Russia investigation, but no proof of any crimes by the investigators has emerged to date.
