Trump complains Biden and Obama stopped coronavirus testing even though it didn't exist during their administration

President Trump is blaming his biggest problem on his favorite enemy.

Trump held a press conference Monday where he was asked to explain why he constantly blames surging COVID-19 case counts on more testing. But he refused to acknowledge there simply are more coronavirus cases and hospitalizations out there now, instead asking why the gathered reporters weren't talking about the COVID-19 failures of the Obama administration.

"We have one of the lowest mortality rates anywhere," Trump falsely said Monday when asked how the U.S. will stop COVID-19 spread. Not only is America's coronavirus mortality rate far from the lowest in the world, it's also been deflated due to rampant testing and rising case numbers — not to mention that many people with COVID-19 face severe and debilitating illness without dying.

"Biden and Obama stopped their testing," Trump then said, referring to former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Joe Biden. "I'm sure you don't want to report it," Trump added to the reporter, which is probably true — the new coronavirus hadn't even infected a person until late 2019, well into Trump's presidency.

Trump also mistakenly said, as he often has, that the 1918 flu pandemic started in 1917.

This man is not well. He is losing what little grip he might have had on reality.

Just read this today...
Trump's grandfather died in 1918 from pneumonia after contracting the Spanish flu.

Classic example of how the msm twists what Trump says. Trump was talking about the N1H1 testing in the Obama administration but the good old dishonest media twist it to make Trump look foolish.

​

"N1H1"? Donald actually used that term?

The real question is did he say Covid-19, no where in that article is there a quote from him that includes Covid-19. This is just a simple and easy to see twist by the writer.

Well, if trump were SMART ENOUGH to actually string together a coherent set of words that accurately reflect what he's "talking about" then maybe the msm wouldn't HAVE to report about the stupid things coming out of his mouth.

The entire press conference was ABOUT COVID-19. The question he was asked was ABOUT COVID-19. N1H1 never entered the conversation. Either trump is UNABLE to understand what the subject was or you can read trump's mind and saw that he indeed had N1H1 floating around in there somewhere.

What kind of an excuse is that? Why not just accept the fact that the msm twists everything that they can. You would think that responsible intelligent people would want the media to be accurate and responsible, but no, some people would rather read lies as long as the lies support their views.

it does not require much in the way of intelligence to know that the pandemic that the Obama administration faced was N1H1

You DO realize there are actually recordings and video tapes of what trump says, right?

No need to twist anything when it's just replaying HIS WORDS. Responsible, intelligent people can hear his words, read exact print outs of his words ... and see that he has mental issues.

As for the lies. You DO realize trump lies like 20+ times a day, right? You do realize there are people keeping count of all of his lies, right?

Odd then (not really) that trump was unable to articulate that fact.

His subsequent sentence made it apparent he was talking about a different situation.

I just posted the recording. Claiming that he blamed Obama for stopping covid testing is stupid and dishonest.

So in context you can tell he means either the swine flu or ebola. But the part about stopping testing still doesn't make sense. There was no broad based testing regime for that one, just a vaccination drive.

So you're saying that his defence for being utterly incompetent in how he handled the Covid-19 outbreak was to ... deflect?

Is that what "real" leaders do?

Maybe true, of course recall this from 4/20/2020
“The last administration left us nothing. We started off with bad, broken tests, and obsolete tests,” Trump asserted, prompting Acosta to jump in and ask: “You say ‘broken tests’ — it’s a new virus, so how could the tests be broken?”

“We had broken tests. We had tests that were obsolete. We had tests that didn’t take care of people,” Trump insisted.

So trump being stupid and dishonest is okay, then?

It would certainly seem that way.

So trump being stupid and dishonest is okay, then?

Why on earth would you jump to that conclusion?

Cut him some slack. During the last administration we heard almost daily that "Bush did it".
