A Refresher from the last weekend..........and I am being sarcastic with the word refresher.........

Fact check: Trump spent the weekend lying about testing, death rates, and Obama
By Associated Press -April 20, 2020 10:00 AM

Trump is once again back to blaming others, including governors and China, for ongoing problems with the coronavirus response.

Donald Trump is falsely assigning blame to governors and the Obama administration for shortages in coronavirus testing.

For much of the week, he was pretender to a throne that didn't exist as he claimed king-like powers over the pandemic response and Congress. But by the weekend, he was again saying governors called the shots and they are the ones to blame — not the federal government, not him — for any testing problems.

He says governors aren't using all the testing capacity that the federal government has created. It's not true.

Meanwhile, Trump denied praising China's openness in the pandemic, when he's on record doing so repeatedly, and declared victory over what he calls relatively low death rates in the U.S. But that's too soon to tell.

A look at his recent rhetoric and its relationship with reality.

And the media (tv) will once again, give him the platform to do his daily bullshit again and again ,and again.............he is a one trick pony...........deadly one at that.......and 52 senators and 198 house representatives have blood on there hands................
