This comment is a great example of bad faith pro-Trump arguments. It is a despicable bunch of disinformation. It’s cherry picking a few old comments while ignoring the overwhelming tide of know-nothing minimization of the pandemic that characterizes Trump’s comments right up to the present day.


It’s literally the “Both Sides” fallacious argument. Cherry pick a tiny handful of tweets from one side and compare it with the constant torrent of communication in multiple media forms over months... and claim that shows both sides are equally bad.


Yes. This argument style passed its sell-by date long ago and I have lost patience with those who practice it.
