Trump remembers a time when Americans were on lockdown, when schools were closed, and when many people died all because of the swine flu.
The rest of America is having trouble remembering this version of history. In fact, most people don’t remember this version at all.
Trump tweeted that Joe Biden “FAILED BADLY with the Swine Flu Epidemic. He knows nothing. All talk and no action!” Twitter made sure to remind him of some hard facts and truths about his own handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Politifact, “Biden was the vice president, but he was not in charge of the Obama administration’s handling of the H1N1 pandemic. That responsibility mainly fell on the leaders of Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
The only reason Trump seems to think that Biden had much to do with the swine flu is that current Vice President Mike Pence is in charge of the COVID-19
