On Thursday morning, President Donald Trump launched a barrage of angry all-caps tweets attacking everyone, from the news media to former President Barack Obama to the prosecutors who have put several of his allies in jail and the COVID-19 surge.
Trump started off by blasting the media’s coverage of the coronavirus pandemic, insisting it only looks bad because the United States does so much testing.
“For the 1/100th time, the reason we show so many Cases, compared to other countries that haven’t done nearly as well as we have, is that our TESTING is much bigger and better,” the president wrote. “We have tested 40,000,000 people. If we did 20,000,000 instead, Cases would be half, etc. NOT REPORTED!”
But he was just warming up. The president continued with a series of shorter tweets that include “PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!” and “PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT!”
He also tweeted about a Fox Business segment that accused former President Obama and former Vice President Joe Biden of supposedly “spying” on his campaign.
“Obama and Biden spied on my campaign, AND GOT CAUGHT…BUT NOTHING!” he wrote.
Trump’s tweetstorm was apparently triggered after Fox News displayed a graphic documenting how the United States has suffered both the highest number of cases and highest number of deaths from COVID-19. The graphic also pointed out that the United States recorded more than 62,000 new COVID cases on Wednesday, which was the highest day yet on record.

“We know what took place. We have already seen criminality. What is happening? Biggest political scandal of our time.” @MariaBartiromo You are 100% correct, Maria, it is a disgrace that nothing happens. Obama and Biden spied on my campaign, AND GOT CAUGHT…BUT NOTHING!
