President Trump on Sunday ripped the Obama administration’s handling of the swine flu pandemic, after it was revealed that the former commander in chief called his successor’s approach to the coronavirus crisis an “absolute chaotic disaster.”
“We are getting great marks for the handling of the Coronavirus pandemic, especially the very early BAN of people from China, the infectious source, entering the USA,” the president said on Twitter Sunday morning. “Compare that to the Obama/Sleepy Joe disaster known as H1N1 Swine Flu. Poor marks, bad polls – didn’t have a clue!”
In a video chat with supporters Friday, Obama criticized Trump’s handling of the coronavirus.
