Donald Trump has been getting a lot of criticism over the way he’s been dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States but the current POTUS is now blaming someone else for what is happening! As far as he is concerned, Barack Obama and Joe Biden stopped the testing for the virus – 3 years ago!
That’s right! Donald Trump got a lot of people confused when he claimed the previous president and his current opponent are to blame for America becoming the epicenter of a global pandemic even though they both left office back in 2017 which, just so happens to be three years before COVID-19 even existed!
When one reporter asked Donald Trump whether he was concerned or not that the contagion rate would spike again after infecting 3.3 million and killing over 135,000 American citizens, he falsely argued that ‘Well, you know that we have one of the lowest mortality rates anywhere.’
But he did not stop there after claiming that 135,000 dead in the United States means the country is having a low mortality rate.
Donald Trump bizarrely went on to accuse Barack Obama and Joe Biden of being responsible for this ‘great’ situation in America.
Yes Obama and Biden stopped Covid-19 testing in 2016, 3 years before the virus 🦠 first appeared on the planet. What’s next? Will Trump blame Obama and Biden for not doing enough to stop the Holocaust in WWll? Vote this narcissistic murderer out in Nov. pic.twitter.com/VMS029j2Hm

The President of the United States is claiming the previous administration "stopped their testing" for a disease which literally did not exist during President Obama's tenure. This after President Trump publicly called fo slowing testing and denies the pandemic's scale is growing https://t.co/jclcy2Hjwl

As per Yahoo! News, he argued: ‘If you know Biden and Obama stopped their testing – they just stopped it. You probably know that. I’m sure you don’t want to report it. But they stopped testing. Right in the middle, they just want, no more testing, and on a much lesser problem than the problem that we have, obviously, with respect to– this is the worst thing that’s happened since probably 1917. This is a very bad– all over the world. It’s 188 countries right now.’
As you can imagine, many social media users were very confused by the statement and could not help but discuss it on their platforms, dragging the POTUS for saying yet another bizarre thing.
