The Trumpist argument reduces to this: "We believe that careless Chinese scientists let loose a global pandemic. Therefore we need more cultural resentment against scientists and the media here in the US of A." https://t.co/M6FANNtvOg — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

Trumpists want the lab-escape story to be true so they can shift blame from Trump and stoke rage against foreigners. But if true, the story proves that we need more global cooperation, stronger international institutions. There's no wall against viruses. https://t.co/M6FANNtvOg — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

The lab-escape story of the coronavirus, if true, exposes Trump's "America First" ideology as even more wrong and self-harming than it already seemed, and that was plenty wrong and self-harming. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans who plighted their troth to Trump might want to contemplate how much he really cost them. On the other hand, the post-Trump doesn't care much about spending and deficits - so maybe they no longer regard Trump's costs as minuses. END — PolitiTweet.org

True, the GOP's big donors would have missed out on their 2017 tax cut (or most of it) under a Clinton presidency. But they'd have extracted something after the GOP congressional gains likely in 2018. And here in our timeline, that 2017 tax cut is looking tenuous. 6/x — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

So here we'd be in 2021, on the other side of a much less deadly and costly COVID pandemic. The GOP would now hold presidency, at least one house of Congress - and would believe it owed success to budget message. Very different trajectory for federal spending in the 2020s. 5/x — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

The GOP would have campaigned in 2020 on its traditional budgetary themes. It probably would have won too: Not since the year of D-Day has a party won four consecutive terms in the White House. 4/x — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

Facing a Democratic president in 2017-2021, congressional GOP would have continued to demand lower spending, smaller deficits. 3/x — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

Had Clinton won in 2016, GOP would have surely kept House in 2018. Coronavirus would have been dealt with much more effectively in December 2019-January 2020 than under the inept Trump. Much, much less money would then have been needed for COVID relief. 2/x — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

It's worth thinking about how much lower long-term federal spending would be had Hillary Clinton won in 2016 instead of Trump. 1/x https://t.co/enbTSGW2eU https://t.co/XbxGs5jGND — PolitiTweet.org

In the interview, Rubio twice used the phrase "cultural Marxism." I'm guessing that in the interval between interview and tweet, somebody explained to the senator from Florida what exactly "cultural Marxism" is usually a euphemism for. Hence this otherwise bizarre self-edit — PolitiTweet.org
