I will be relieved when the press doesn’t go running every time he calls an emergency whining session. What exactly was the emergency? SMH

[richardmiller]

Hey while you're at Bedminster Golf ⛳ Course why not give Jack Smith the missing Iranian documents you showed Suzi Wild!

[queenjeanene]

Props to ABC for fact checking in real time

[unme]

Everyone should listen to the entire Trump press conference to see just how crazy it was! The guy is NUTS.

[frankssenfuma]

Prices are high because rich people don't pay taxes.

[GullibleIgnorantGreedyIndiffer]

WHY CANT YOU CALL HIM A HABITUAL LIAR !!! Every time he speaks.
SHAME SHAME SHAME ABC.
YOU STILL DONT GET HOW SERIOUS THIS IS!!!

[elizabethalexander]

He has never paid for groceries people.

Inflation has been very bad all over the world since COVID. USA's economy has recovered better than almost any other country worldwide. Greedy companies can inflate prices even when the production cost is low. Harris' plan to address price gouging is probably the best idea.

[constancedean]

Price gouging is absolutely ridiculous. To blame President Biden for the greed of corporations is so disingenuous.

I don't understand why ABC streamed it to begin with, but I'm very happy to see ABC fact-check.

[sandra]

Thank you ABC for doing this type of fact checking live. 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

Former Gaslighter-in-Chief. So sick of his mess

[BassRck-xviz]

Worldwide inflation... OURS is the lowest...

[gawd]

How can he speak about the economy for the average American, with groceries for show & tell in front of his country club. His country club. His country club. Everything about this shows that he cannot relate to the average person and that he doesn't plan on helping people like us.

[Navigator]

Thank you for immediate fact-checking. This is important.

[Cat_festation]

IDEA: all candidates are fact checked in REAL TIME on a screen behind the podium. That is all.

[PaulA-nste]

it's not fact checking with this bell end. it's misinformation checking.

[anhthanhthongsoai]

I said it a millions times before, and I will keep saying it until after November. Trump said all that was for his low educated, not so smart supporters, NOT for you and I, and he had succeeded. The Americans need to beat him on the ballot box. Vote blue! 💙💙

[pohggz]

Thank you: please continue fact checking, and not normalizing/ enabling outrageous behavior

[Psykldoc]

This is how ALL press conferences need to go - REAL TIME FACT CHECKING! THANK YOU, ABC NEWS! It’s refreshing! A genuine news channel!
