TRUMP: “Questions were asked about why the CIA & FBI had to ask the DNC 13 times for their SERVER, and were rejected…”
Source: Twitter
In fact: The FBI, not the CIA, requested access to Democratic National Committee servers to investigate alleged Russian hacking. (It is not clear where Trump got his “13 times” figure.)
President Trump did say the FBI requested the DNC servers in his tweet...

"Everyone here is talking about why John Podesta refused to give the DNC server to the FBI and the CIA. Disgraceful!"

“As you all know, I approved the Keystone XL Pipeline and the Dakota Access Pipeline in my first week.”

In fact: Trump did not approve either pipeline in his first week. His first-week executive orders advanced the two pipelines, but they did not grant final approval. Trump actually approved Keystone XL two months into his presidency; the government announced the approval of the Dakota Access pipeline three weeks into his presidency.
“And, by the way, I thought I’d take a lot of heat (after issuing executive orders on the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines). I didn't take any heat. I approved them and that was it. I figured we’d have all sorts of protests. We didn't have anything.”

In fact: There were protests in cities around the country after Trump issued the executive orders he was discussing here – including one right outside the White House. Perhaps he expected more “heat” than he received, but is false to say there was not “anything.”
The guy is living in his own perverse world of reality.

“And I won’t get into it, but believe me, that (Paris climate accord) really put this country at a disadvantage. Number one, we weren’t playing on the same field. It kicked in for us, and it doesn't kick in for others.”

In fact: The Paris climate agreement does not take effect any faster for the United States than it does for any other country.
I can hear the Trumpster now telling President Macron of France " I wake up to your marvelous French toast & go to bed with your delicious French vanilla ice cream." What a pecker-head.

“The second is the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act, which blocks federal grants to cities that release dangerous criminal aliens back into the streets, including the vicious and disgusting and horrible MS-13 gang members. And we’re getting them out. We are getting them out. They’re going - fast. General Kelly and his whole group – they’ve gotten rid of 6,000 so far. We’re about 50 per cent there, and we’re actually liberating towns.”

In fact: The Trump administration has not deported about 50 per cent of MS-13 gang members, nor has it deported 6,000 so far. As Politifact notes, the U.S. government said in April that there were about 10,000 MS-13 members in the country; as of late June, just 2,800 members of any gang had been deported in the 2017 fiscal year, which began all the way back in October. So Trump is exaggerating even if every single gang member deported was a member of MS-13, which they were not.
“The failing @nytimes writes false story after false story about me. They don't even call to verify the facts of a story.”

In fact: The New York Times consistently requests comment from the Trump administration for articles it writes about the administration. As for the particular story that prompted Trump’s tweet, Times journalist Glenn Thrush wrote on Twitter: “Call your office, sir. @nytimes spoke to many, many, many members of your staff yesterday - & ran everything by your team.”
Talk about being out of touch.
