Trump mocked for blaming Woodward, Obama and Biden for his actions, Internet says it’s ‘President Woodward’s fault’

Trump garnered immense attention and a range of reactions owing to his opinion of Woodward not taking responsibility for informing the public or authorities about the severity of the global health crisis

After experts from Bob Woodward's forthcoming book made a few shocking revelations about President Donald Trump's administration, some of which even the president himself admitted to, POTUS is now seen slamming others for not doing their job. 

While addressing the reporters at the White House about Woodward's claims in 'Rage' on September 10, Trump that if Woodward thought him downplaying Covid-19 was bad, he should have reported his comments earlier. "If Bob Woodward thought what is said was bad then he should have immediately right after I said it gone to the authorities so they would be prepared." He further said, "But he didn't think it was bad. The only ones that said it was bad were the fake news media. They take it and try and put it a certain way."

This isn't the first time Trump has called out somebody outside his administration for the dire circumstances caused by the pandemic. Earlier in March, when the United States had started to witness a surge in the Covid-19 cases, Trump had publicly refused to accept any responsibility for the slow rate of coronavirus testing. He had at a White House meeting, "The Obama administration made a decision on testing that turned out to be very detrimental to what we’re doing, and we undid that decision a few days ago so that the testing can take place in a much more accurate and rapid fashion." Trump further claimed that Obama had left behind a "broken" system to deal with a public health crisis. 

Around the same time, he condemned Joe Biden for his failing to stockpile enough protective masks to deal with the pandemic. POTUS's campaign had said, "America has Joe Biden to thank for this. He left our country unprepared for a pandemic. Despite warnings from experts to replenish the supply of masks in the national stockpile, he did nothing."

In Woodward's forthcoming book which is slated for a September 15 release, some more startling revelations about Trump have been made, including one in which he's reportedly told that he "didn’t get enough love from ‘African Americans’" Trump said, "I've done a tremendous amount for the black community, And, honestly, I'm not feeling any love," according to Daily Mail. 

The president once again has garnered immense attention and a range of reactions owing to his opinion of Woodward not taking responsibility for informing the public or authorities about the severity of the global health crisis. 'President Woodward' started to trend on Twitter as internet users took to the platform to question Trump's role as a president if all he did was blame others for the fate of the nation. 

One user wrote mockingly, "I agree, President Woodward have a responsibility to ensure Americans safety but he failed his duty when he lied to us about the severity of Covid. If only Private citizen Trump had been President for four years we could have avoided 190k deaths and 6 million cases."

Another tweeted, "I would say I can’t believe Trump said this, but NOTHING this PITIFUL President says or does surprises me. Alert the authorities. President Trump, you are the HIGHEST AUTHORITY in America and you NOTIFIED WOODWARD!!! #”President Woodward”. One joked, "I guess we need to vote President Woodward out in 53 days "

One tweeted, "Apparently Trump claims to be President when its convenient for him. Other times it's normally President Biden's fault, President Obama and as of today President Woodward's fault."
