Bolton’s book, which is getting terrible reviews, is a compilation of lies and made up stories, all intended to make me look bad. Many of the ridiculous statements he attributes to me were never made, pure fiction. Just trying to get even for firing him like the sick puppy he is!

“It’s a terrible situation, and I blame the leaders of those cities. The President of the United States has fought through a lot of different things since he’s been in office, and to be honest with you, he’s done one hell of a job.”

“Seattle’s CHOP is just the latest example of Liberal (Democrat) cities caving to lawlessness.”

@NBCNews is facing considerable backlash for pushing @Google to remove Conservative sites from its ad platform.

Biden got failing grades and polls on his clueless handling of the Swine Flu H1N1. It was a total disaster, they had no idea what they were doing. Among the worst ever!

Wacko John Bolton’s “exceedingly tedious”(New York Times) book is made up of lies & fake stories. Said all good about me, in print, until the day I fired him. A disgruntled boring fool who only wanted to go to war. Never had a clue, was ostracized & happily dumped. What a dope!

Do you really want to got there Donny? 120,000 dead from C-19 by the end of the day today.

The United States mounted a complex, multi-faceted and long-term response to the pandemic, summarized in The 2009 H1N1 Pandemic: Summary Highlights, April 2009-April 2010. On August 10, 2010, WHO declared an end to the global 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic.

for a bit. Settled down for an evening read, with a few books.

One was 'the Wit and Wisdom of Spiro Agnew'. Opened the paperback . . . to all blank pages.

Whenever I see 'wit and wisom' I remember that night.

Compare how President Obama and VP Biden managed Swine Flu to your bungling of COVID-19, go ahead. Your incompetence and malice killed 10 times more people in 4 months than died in 12 months of the Swine Flu, and you call that response a disaster.

Please keep bringing this up.

How many deaths were caused by swine flu in the U.S.?

ANSWER

It's estimated that the swine flu -- a new type of flu that spread worldwide during 2009-2010, causing the first flu pandemic -- caused more than 12,000 flu-related deaths in the U.S.


According to the tracking site that I visit daily, the US is approaching ten times more deaths from COVID, in less than six months. So tell me again, Donald, who has no idea what they are doing? I hate this incompetent, whining motherfucker so much.

The death count is still mounting and Trump continues to ignore and lie about the problem.

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/mar/15/donald-trump/fact-checking-trumps-attacks-obama-biden-swine-flu/

President Donald Trump went on Twitter to applaud his administration’s response to the coronavirus and shift attention to another pandemic that happened when Joe Biden was vice president.

The first U.S. case of a new H1N1 influenza virus (also called swine flu) was detected in April 2009, three months after the Obama administration began. The pandemic took a toll on Americans, with an estimated 60.8 million H1N1 cases and 12,469 deaths from April 2009 to April 2010.

Worldwide, it’s estimated the virus killed between 151,700 to 575,400 people during its first year. (By August 2010, the World Health Organization said the virus had largely run its course.)

Trump said Biden, a top Democratic presidential candidate, led an ineffective effort to combat the outbreak.

He’s wrong about Biden’s role and omitted important context about his polling.

"Biden was in charge of the H1N1 Swine Flu epidemic which killed thousands of people."

Biden was the vice president, but he was not in charge of the Obama administration’s handling of the H1N1 pandemic. That responsibility mainly fell on the leaders of Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (Trump enlisted Vice President Mike Pence to helm the country’s response to COVID-19.)

Health policy experts told PolitiFact they did not recall Biden having a prominent leadership role. PolitiFact also reviewed archives of Obama’s public statements on H1N1 and found that Obama generally mentioned the leadership of department heads and of his homeland security adviser, not Biden.

RELATED FACT-CHECK: Trump wrongly blames Obama for limits on coronavirus testing

At the same time, Biden’s website mentions the Obama administration's record to make the argument to voters that he could manage the current response better. Biden’s coronavirus response plan says he "helped lead" the Obama administration’s response to H1N1 in 2009 and the Ebola virus in 2014. It does not offer further detail.
