On Tuesday, Donald Trump was back on home turf after an alarming indoor rally in Nevada, singing his own praises to the hosts of Fox & Friends. Guided along a path of insanity by hosts Steve Doocey, Brian Kilmeade, and Ainsley Earnhardt, Trump opened up on his opponent’s alleged drug use, his desire to kill Syrian leader Bashar al Assad, rigged elections, and his plans to return to the show every Monday morning until the election.
Fox & Friends is Just Asking Questions about whether Joe Biden is "taking some sort of drugs to pep him up." I'm guessing "maybe it's a cup of coffee" is Doocy's limp attempt to fact check this lazy and once-offensive lie. pic.twitter.com/g3oZ2S28ee

Trump repeated his claims that his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, is taking performance-enhancing drugs in order to have all the “clarity” he’s displayed during the presidential campaigns. Steve Doocy first goaded him into that conversation, but then tried to tamp it down by saying that perhaps Biden just drank “a lot of coffee.” Trump laughed but then went right back to the rambling, frantic, conspiracy-minded talk that rivals the craziest ideas ever uttered by an chemically impaired person.
Woodward reported this in his last book. And Trump lied in the aftermath. "Not at all. The book is fiction. I heard somewhere where they said the assassination of President Assad by the United States. Never even discussed. It was never even contemplated." https://t.co/upB81nKfHy

Trump also rambled his way right into revealing a significant lie he’s already told. When Watergate journalist Bob Woodward’s book, Rage, was released, Trump discounted the truth of the book by pointing to Woodward’s reporting that the president had wanted to bomb Syria and take out leader Bashar al Assad when he used chemical weapons against his own people. General Jim Mattis was reported to have dug in his heels in order to prevent the president from doing so. Trump said the entire book was a lie, as evidenced by the story, which he said never happened.
On Tuesday morning, Trump told the hosts of Fox & Friends that Mattis is a “highly overrated” general, as evidenced by the time when Trump wanted to take out Syrian leader Bashar al Assad but Mattis didn’t want to.
“I’m winning that state easily,” Trump says of Nevada. Telling Fox News “you’re going to see a rigged election” by the governor. No pushback from the hosts. Some facts:
– Nevada blue since 2004.
– Biden leads +4 most recent poll
– SoS, who handles elections, is a Republican— Garrett Haake (@GarrettHaake) September 15, 2020
After complaining that the election would be “rigged,” Trump told the morning hosts that he was scheduled to appear on the show every morning between now and the elections, just like “the old days.” Apparently, no one actually told Fox News or the producers of Fox & Friends about it, leading Doocy to tell the president “you may want to do it every week, but Fox is not committed to that.”
Donald Trump: "We're gonna [call into Fox & Friends] every week. Every Monday I think they said."
Brian Kilmeade: "Sounds good."
