WASHINGTON—On an eventful Friday, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump renounced his baseless “birther” conspiracy-peddling in a bizarre event at his new Washington hotel, did an interview on Fox Business, and held a rally in Miami, where he tried to woo the Cuban community. A list of some of the things he said:

Called for the disarming of Hillary Clinton’s Secret Service detail; added, “Let’s see what happens to her . . . it’ll be very dangerous”

Renounced five years “birther” lying with one sentence: “President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period”

Falsely blamed Hillary Clinton’s campaign for starting the birther saga

Falsely claimed to have opposed the Iraq war

Falsely claimed to have said “I don’t know” when asked by Howard Stern whether he supported the war (Actually said, “Yeah, I guess so. I wish the first time it was done correctly”)

Claimed Bataclan massacre would have been averted if people there had guns

Bragged on Twitter about tricking the media

Reversed position on Cuba: Said he would reverse Obama softening he called “fine” in September

Falsely claimed 58 per cent of African-American youth can't get a job. (It's 26 per cent)

Falsely claimed black people have “no jobs, no education”; falsely claimed black people in “inner cities” can’t walk down the street without getting shot

Falsely claimed Clinton “is raising your taxes substantially.” (Her tax hike is only on the top 1 per cent)

Falsely claimed 65 per cent of black children under the age of 6 are in poverty. (Not true in even one state)

Falsely claimed Clinton destroyed 13 iPhones with a hammer. (It was two BlackBerries)

Falsely claimed she sold government favours

Falsely claimed Hispanic poverty has seen a catastrophic increase under Obama. (The Hispanic poverty rate has fallen since 2009; Trump is beginning his count in 2008, before Obama took office)

Falsely claimed that, before Obama, Air Force One was always greeted by top foreign leaders; said he would turn around Air Force One if top Cuban, Saudi or Chinese officials didn’t greet him

Falsely claimed the room he was speaking in was “100 degrees”

Attacked Clinton over her stamina/health: Boasted he does multiple daily speeches, said, “Do you think Hillary Clinton can get through one?”

Falsely claimed analysts say his polls show there is more enthusiasm for him than for any candidate in the past
