I suppose that this is one of those good news/bad news scenarios. The good news — if this can possibly be construed as “good” — is that Donald Trump finally admitted that the governmental response to the coronavirus pandemic was botched. This is the first time anything approaching an admission about the failure to adequately test for Covid-19 has been made. The bad news is that he is spinning it to make Barack Obama the fall guy — for a screw up taking place in the Trump administration. Yes, another entry into the You Can’t Make This Shit Up file.
Trump on coronavirus testing: "The Obama administration made a decision on testing that turned out to be very detrimental to what we're doing & we undid that decision a few days ago so that testing can take place in a much more accurate & rapid fashion" (what's he talking about?) pic.twitter.com/Z0UBaORIwI

And it gets better still.
Team Trump just admitted they lied about working on #CoronavirusOutbreak for weeks and weeks. Trump and Pence just blamed Obama for a regulation that slowed down testing. When did Trump change that regulation? Weeks ago? Before his press conference a week ago? Nope, 4 days ago: https://t.co/GJMQk1psku

The Obama administration “asserted FDA jurisdiction over testing and the development of tests like this.” Why how unusual. To put the testing of a drug under the Food and Drug Administration? Now who would have ever thought of that? Thank heavens that Donald Trump is here to destroy yet another regulation — dammit, it’s always a regulation preventing the free flow of genius endeavor, isn’t it now — and get us moving again. After Obama had crippled us. Right. Does anybody want some kool-aide while we sit through Gaslighting 101? Yet again?
It is a matter of public record that Trump fired key civil service personnel in charge of this very thing, a global pandemic. But no, it’s Obama’s fault. At least Trump stopped short of suggesting that we rename Covid-19 the “Obamavirus” — today at least. Give him a little while. This is one of his trial balloon numbers, that we’ve seen before, and if it gets traction and people actually bee-leave that Obama is responsible, then that’s all you’ll hear from here on out.

Trump since we have no willing patriots to put you out of your misery, including GOP in the Capitol we will do it Nov 3 2020. Bye bye you dork.
That’s the grumpion way to put the blame on everyone else so that they can whine about it. Their incompetence for handling anything is beyond pathetical logic. Who’s he going to blame next for what ever thing they’ll screw up
It’s President Obama’s fault that this russian appeasing loser is in office. I guess that covers everything….
Imagine, the FDA, instead of a private pharmaceutical company that puts profits, over the public good, in charge of these things. So change the rules to enable the private companies to get rich developing vaccines/test kits/treatments. What could possibly go wrong here?
Believing and supporting this madman is absolute insane madness! I just can’t understand it!
This idiot president is lost in space
Yeah, the space between his ears, a total bloody vacuum…
Let’s call it the Trump virus!
I didn’t realize that Obama was such a forward thinking guy. Here he is disrupting presidency three years after he left office, dam!
Trump needs to start packing his furniture, he won’t be president after January 2021 bye bye Mr. Lie ???????? Obama Obama Obama did it racist to the core American people wake up he will destroy this country if you vote for him, because he knows he won’t be president no more that means he ain’t gonna do what he is promising. He will tell everyone to kiss his ass including the Republicans that supported his lies
