Trump Called Out To His Face After Blaming Obama For 'Broken' Coronavirus Tests

President Donald Trump blamed his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, on Thursday for leaving him with faulty tests for coronavirus infections.

“The last administration left us nothing,” Trump said. “We started off with bad, broken tests and obsolete tests.”

But Obama left office in 2017 and COVID-19 didn’t exist until last year, as CNN’s Jim Acosta was quick to point out to the president.

“You say ‘broken tests,’” Acosta said. “It’s a new virus, so how could the tests be broken?”

...3 MONTHS after taking office. 60 million got it, but 13,000 died. (In 13 months). He did not blame his predecessor, although that administration probably did screw some things up.
This tool was in office 3 YEARS, 5X the deaths, in 1/6th of the time, and it's someone else's fault.
What a punk!

All of it is prevarication and falsehood--ALL of it! In his small mind, he is the source of all good, and Obama/everybody else is the source of all bad. It doesn't work that way.

It's past time to put an end to it!

President Trump has achieved the impossible; he has replaced James Buchanan as our worst president.

Our president has no clue how to help us. He enjoys inflicting pain and we are in for one heckuva of a insane duck period before we can breathe again--

Once Joseph R. Biden is sworn in as our 46th president, hopefully ( and these days hope is a prayer ) with Elizabeth Warren as his Vice President.

This president cannot help. He is so ignorant he cannot learn. He is sabotaging our life boats. He believes that human sacrifice will appease the Great and All Powerful Economy" (whomever that might be).

It is best to simply ignore him and get on with the task of saving as many human beings as we possibly can.

90% of what he spews out is an insult or a blatant lie. He is a thoroughly disgusting selfish serial liar.....and not the brightest bulb brainwise.

That tens of millions voted for that illustrates how dumb is rampant.....thanks to Right Wing lies.
