Obama Takes Another Veiled Shot at Trump Over Coronavirus, This Time on Testing

Former President Barack Obama took another veiled shot at his successor President Trump over his handling of the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus in a tweet on Wednesday, this time over testing. Just nine days ago Obama took a veiled shot at Trump, accusing him without naming him of denial of warnings about the pandemic, comparing it to ‘climate change denial’.

“We’ve seen all too terribly the consequences of those who denied warnings of a pandemic. We can’t afford any more consequences of climate denial. All of us, especially young people, have to demand better of our government at every level and vote this fall.”

Obama commented Wednesday on a New York Times article about when the country might be ready to reopen, writing, “Social distancing bends the curve and relieves some pressure on our heroic medical professionals. But in order to shift off current policies, the key will be a robust system of testing and monitoring – something we have yet to put in place nationwide.

Obama has posted many tweets about the coronavirus pandemic in the past few weeks, like this one praising healthcare workers.

Missing from those many tweets is an offer to help President Trump and the nation in whatever way he can in this crisis.
