Pennsylvania officials caught a scheme involving 10 forged mail-in ballot applications submitted by a woman from Idaho. The best part? She was an independent contractor for Mobilize the Message, a conservative voter outreach operation founded by Republican strategist Cliff Maloney. The system worked as designed. All 10 applications were flagged and rejected. No ballots were issued. The irony? A Republican-aligned political operation caught up in an election-fraud investigation. Meanwhile, Scott Perry was already misrepresenting what actually happened. Facts matter. Apparently, especially when Republicans are doing the explaining.

Trump on Jon Husted: "I was pretty intent on explaining his body type ... he was down 11 or 12, now he's leading!"

Those ARENT ballots Einstein. Those aren’t what ballots come in, AND (dead giveaway) the indicia, you’re a god damn liar

Trump: We have a country that makes other countries very rich. If we didn't make them rich, we would have a country that would be the greatest AAA credit in history. There are numerous countries where we have deficits with them. We don't need to do that.

Reporter: Do you still have confidence in Fed Chair Kevin Warsh? Trump: Yeah, I do. I mean, I'm relying on Kevin, but he's got, you know, a very tough board. He's got a board that was put there by a lot of other people. And the interest rates are too high, they're not appropriate. And I told—I talked to Kevin, and I said, "You might as well vote with the board because it's just not going to matter." The board is very hostile. They're very political. They're doing the wrong thing. They're a bunch of politicians or people put on by politicians, and it's a shame because it's too high an interest rate. Despite that, the country battles through everything because we're doing so well, but the interest rates are too high. We should be paying the lowest interest rate anywhere in the world because we have the strongest credit. If we wanted to get rid of deficits, which we could do with a swipe of a pen with every country, we'd make a trillion and a half dollars a year. We'd pay off our debt, we'd do all sorts of things. But we haven't chosen to do that, but at some point we will. Interest rates are too high.

Trump: "If we stopped trading with every country that we have a deficit with -- which is most of them, and which would be very easy to do -- we would make at least $1.5 trillion a year."

CNN split screen video of Trump claims about inflation vs what Fed Chair Warsh said about inflation today.

This might be the dumbest lie he’s told yet. He was nowhere near ground zero. He fucking called in to brag about how tall his building was
