Trump replies Obama in Twitter rant
U.S. President Donald Trump kicked predecessor Barack Obama back in the midst of a Twitter rant on Sunday, in which he also attacked journalists.
Obama had called out Trump in a leaked virtual call with 3,000 members of his administration, by describing Trump’s coronavirus response a disaster.
In response, Trump clobbered both Obama and Joe Biden, the presumed candidate of the Democrats in the November election.
He dredged out the handling of the 2009 Swine Flu outbreak by Obama and Biden and scored them ‘poor marks’.
In contrast, he gave his handling of the coronavirus pandemic ‘great marks’.
‘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,’ Trump touted 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!’

Trump also took on journalists, with whom he has heard an uneasy relationship the past 3 and half years.

Trump’s more than 50-tweet rampage on Sunday concluded just after 8:00 a.m. with a ‘HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!’
