We had a little discourse after the 2021 elections about how quiet Trump had been that cycle. Democrats strained to connect R nominees to Trump, he limited his politicking to one call in to a Virginia Bannon rally that Youngkin didn’t go to. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

“Should Twitter let Trump back on” was a question that divided the cringe-lane resistance liberals, who couldn’t stand seeing him, from the Democrats, who started to think Rs benefited from Trump’s lower salience. — PolitiTweet.org

“Spotlight” had some of the same elements (“based on the Pulitzer winning investigation”) but trailer did much better job selling it as a story you want to see unfold. (“Spotlight” rules, I’ll fight anyone who puts it in a “forgettable Oscar winner” list) https://t.co/4k1l0Za1D7 — PolitiTweet.org

Felt like a mistake to focus on the “movement,” which has petered out, instead of the specific Weinstein story, which was insane and compelling. — PolitiTweet.org

@realtonysm1th Yeah, he’s in a sweet spot where he gets the credit for it but doesn’t hype it. That said, if he’s president in 2025 with a GOP congress… what changes? 15-week abortion ban? Heartbeat bill? Still a question — PolitiTweet.org

By contrast, Pence mentions this in every speech. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Trump's disinterest in ever mentioning that he killed Roe - he was the president who finally appointed enough SCOTUS justices to do it - is so interesting. Didn't mention it once in his launch speech! — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Trump asked how he can expand the GOP; interestingly, he suggests that the Dobbs decision drove up Dem turnout, but never mentions the decision or the word abortion. "It was a tough issue, and it energized the other side. People came out on that issue for a specific purpose." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump gets asked about expanding on Abraham Accords. "A lot of countries want to join but the Biden administration can't get its act together." Had he won in 2020, "10, 12, all of them" [Arab nations] would have joined, he says. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Trump doing a remote Q&A now, asked about Elon's poll about restoring his account. Says the numbers are "overwhelming" (it's 52-48 right now) "I don't see it, because I don't see any reason for it." "Truth Social is doing phenomenally well, it's through the roof." — PolitiTweet.org
