Trump says Obama left him broken COVID-19 tests even though the virus was discovered 3 years later

President Donald Trump continued to blame the Obama administration in an interview with ABC’s David Muir for leaving them “nothing” ahead of the coronavirus pandemic.

“We didn’t have ventilators, we didn’t have medical equipment, we didn’t have testing. The tests were broken. You saw that. We had broken tests. They left us nothing,” the president said. “And we’ve taken it and we have built an incredible stockpile — a stockpile like we’ve never had before.”

So did you catch that? The Obama administration left him a bunch of broken COVID-19 tests when he took over in January 2017 even though the virus was discovered about 3 years later.

He's batshit crazy!

1. Nothing is ever his fault. *ALWAYS* someone else's.

That's why they get away with the things they get away with.

2. Why the fuck don't people tell him things

like the virus didn't exist then?

3. Two things: first, he cannot absorb new information (note his repeated reference to the

1917 flu): second, even if he knows it's a lie, he will keep repeating it, which is an effective propaganda trick perfected by the Nazis.

4. Obsolete because they were SARS test. Broken, CDC first batch of covid 19 tests mid-March.

5. I think these crazy things are just meant to be diversions.

If he can get people to talk about them he's won. If he can get people to talk about one for a week it gives him another week to think up something new.

6. Bingo.

Generate a constant fog of war miasma via non-linear warfare and reflexive control, with the utter destruction of objective truth as its intended casualty. The vacuum is then filled in with whatever they want the narrative to be.

7. Well put!

8. I have no doubt that tRUMP's last remaining brain cell is very lonely...

9. This reminds me of the interview

with a conservative/MAGAt who said that 9/11 was Obama's fault.
