Surfing the channels last night,
I stopped on C-SPAN for about 2 minutes and listened to Trump at his Louisiana rally.
Just long enough to hear the "Liar-in-Chief" say:
"Thanks to Donald Trump, the United States has taken in trillions and trillions of dollars from China in tariffs."
(That's not how tariffs work)
The fools in the crowd cheered and roared their approval,
while those sitting behind Trump mouthed "Thank you!"
What idiots!

We only have about half a trillion in trade from China a year. Even if all of it was taxed at 100%, it would not be "Trillions"
Fact checking is a full time job for an army of journalists with this guy.
