But seriously:
Just because Trump made fun of people's medical conditions doesn't mean we should.
Trump DOES NOT set our moral standards.
It's 100% legitimate to mock him for the irony of his previous callousness BUT NOT just because someone we don't like fell ill. #TrumpHasCovid
That's a nuanced point.... and this is twitter... so we'll see how well this goes for me... 😅
It helps to try and imagine things from the other side.
Imagine if we became like this... If we become this, all is lost.

Can you imagine if, during the years of Brexit renegotiations (2020-24), journalists had grilled the Tories on their manifesto promise to get Brexit done.... as much as they're now grilling Labour on whether they're "taxing working people"?
It shows they CAN do their jobs.
They just chose not to with the Tories.
Look at this.
It's very good journalism by @WilfredFrost, exposing that the Labour manifesto used the technicality of not directly taxing working people, but it still hits them.
"Get Brexit Done" was literally the title of the Tory manifesto and was NEVER challenged like this.
Boris Johnson started renegotiations SIX MONTHS after winning an election on a promise to end the Brexit negotiations.
So there's nothing subjective about the fact that the Tory government was elected on a lie.
Yet NOT ONE news station categorically communicated that fact.
