Butthurt, jealous crybaby interrupts PGA to blame Obama for the COVID-19 crisis

Trump interrupts PGA to blame Obama for the COVID-19 crisis

May 17, 2020

By Sarah K. Burris

Former President Barack Obama may have been out of office for three years, but the 2019 coronavirus was somehow made worse by him, according to President Donald Trump.

Interrupting the PGA on Sunday, NBC interviewed Trump over the phone, where he name-dropped golfers claiming that he knew them. Then he quickly turned from hoping to bring back sports to blaming Obama for the crisis.

According to Trump, he was left woefully unprepared due to Obama, who left office in 2017. Trump has not yet revealed what he spent the subsequent three years doing if there was such a lack of resources. During Trump’s first two years in office, the Republican Party ran the House, Senate, and White House.

COVID-19 is so named because it stands for coronavirus found in 2019. Obama had been out of office for just under three years during the discovery of the coronavirus. No tests could be invented for coronavirus three years before the virus existed, though Trump seems confused by the timeline about when he took over the White House and when the COVID-19 crisis began.

As soon as they said they were taking the live call, I changed the channel.
They're doing this event to raise $ because PINO f'd this up, & then they let him use it as a campaign stop?
I sent the network a complaint email!

the call? That's really pathetic! It was bad enough thinking the network had set up the interview. Was this his way of getting equal time after PBO's appearance last night? What a needy loser he is!

Trump is making easily refuted claims that are making him look like an incompetent crybaby. Why should President Obama step in to stop that trainwreck?

W actually got us prepared... who knew he had foresight

Obama took what he was left and actually had to fight several several public health issues under his watch that could have led to pandemic.

Not a partisan issue. I am giving W credit.

What's Trump's excuse?

Trump arouses crazy MAGATS to do viscious stuff. News executives and reporters have that in the back of their heads. So, all of it is not about money, some is from raw fear of the murderous psychos that psycho can activate.

Although that was part of it. Mike Terrico tried to stay away from politics for the most part.

I stopped watching because it was boring. Too much filler. And the golfers didn't have much personality. They needed to bring out the 4 funniest golfers on tour to do this exhibition.
