xTrump says that Biden will abolish “Ohio's clean coal,” which will be quite a feat since clean coal doesn't exist in the first place.

xAt a speech in Dayton on “the American worker,” Trump announces he's nominating a woman, then asks anyone who wants a man to put up their hand if they dare, then does a crowd “poll,” then moves on to mocking Joe and Hunter Biden, then criticizes Teamsters leaders as ungrateful.

xTrump falsely claims he brought back 700,000 manufacturing jobs.
Before the pandemic crash, 483,000 manufacturing jobs had been added under Trump. As of August, it's a loss of 237,000 from when Trump took office.

xTrump repeats his usual false claims about how there hadn't been an auto plant built in Michigan in 40 years until he came along and how he pressured Japan's prime minister and then “the next day” Japanese auto companies announced five US plants. (This story is imaginary.)

xTrump repeats his usual false claim that Obama sent mere “pillows” to Ukraine. (Didn't authorize weapons, but authorized armored military vehicles, drones, counter-mortar radars, night vision devices, medical supplies.)

xTrump touts a “hydrosonic” missile, but says, “I call it super-duper. 'Cause super-duper is easier for people to understand than hydrosonic.”
He appears to be referring to hypersonic missiles.

xA Hillary Clinton mention. A “lock her up” chant. Trump segues to “the idiot John Bolton.” Moments later, he says, “Hey, do you remember North Korea?”

Trump tells the Ohio crowd that although he's been tough on Russia, “At the same time, we get along. I like Putin, he likes me. You know, we get along.”
xTrump delivers a vigorous rendition of his imaginary story about how Hillary Clinton promised the trade deal with South Korea would produce 250,000 jobs but ended up doing so only for South Korea.
Clinton never said this.

xTrump recounts his false story how he said, before the Iraq War, “Don't go into the Middle East, but if you're gonna go in, keep the oil.”

xTrump claims “Biden keeps talking about a nationwide shutdown.” Biden said in one interview that he'd shut down the country *if scientists said that was needed,* then walked that back, saying he doesn't think a total shutdown would be necessary regardless.

xTrump bashes Biden for working to kill coal jobs, then says he, Trump, put the miners back to work and saved the industry.
