It was an intense week for the United States as we continued to grapple with the coronavirus outbreak. Through it all, President Donald Trump was tweeting up a storm as always, which is why we decided to compile his ten best tweets of the week.
As usual, Trump was not afraid to call out Democratic leaders on their nonsense over this past week. Two of his most controversial tweets of the week came when Trump called out former President Barack Obama on Friday, blaming him for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) slow response to the coronavirus outbreak.
For decades the @CDCgov looked at, and studied, its testing system, but did nothing about it. It would always be inadequate and slow for a large scale pandemic, but a pandemic would never happen, they hoped. President Obama made changes that only complicated things further…..

…. Their response to H1N1 Swine Flu was a full scale disaster, with thousands dying, and nothing meaningful done to fix the testing problem, until now. The changes have been made and testing will soon happen on a very large scale basis. All Red Tape has been cut, ready to go!

Democrats were completely “triggered” by Trump going after their beloved Obama, but this did not matter to the current president at all, as he’s sick and tired of getting flack for his predecessor’s mistakes.
Hours before his tweet against Obama, Trump targeted Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, who was the vice president during the Swine flu epidemic.
Sleepy Joe Biden was in charge of the H1N1 Swine Flu epidemic which killed thousands of people. The response was one of the worst on record. Our response is one of the best, with fast action of border closings & a 78% Approval Rating, the highest on record. His was lowest!

“Sleepy Joe” is one of Trump’s favorite nicknames for Biden, and the above tweet shows that the president is not afraid of facing the Democratic darling in the election, should he secure the nomination.
Trump didn’t only go after members of the Obama administration this week, he also had some choice words for Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) over the way she and her fellow Democrats are handling (or not handling) the coronavirus outbreak.
Nancy Pelosi just said, “I don’t know if we can be ready this week.” In other words, it’s off to vacation for the Do Nothing Democrats. That’s been the story with them for 1 1/2 years!

Calling out lazy career politicians has long been a favorite pastime for Trump, and it only makes his followers like him even more.
Pelosi’s Democratic colleague, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) found himself getting some heat from Trump as well as he continued his witch hunt against the president this week.
There is another Russia, Russia, Russia meeting today. It is headed up by corrupt politician Adam “Shifty” Schiff, so I wouldn’t expect too much! @DHS_Wolf

That tweet had to have hit Schiff right where it hurts, given the fact that he has been trying to get rid of Trump for years!
One of Trump’s best tweets of the week had to be when he called out Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who he calls Pocahontas, in reference to her infamous lie about being Native American, for ruining Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) chances in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Pocahontas, working in conjunction with the Democrat Party, totally destroyed the campaign of Bernie Sanders. If she would have quit 3 days earlier, Sanders would have beaten Biden in a route, it wouldn’t even have been close. They also got two other losers to support Sleepy Joe!

Ouch! That has got to hurt! Not all of Trump’s tweets were negative attacks on Democrats, however, as he also touted his own accomplishment as a president whose goal has always been to make America great again.
Best unemployment numbers in the history of our Country. Best employment number EVER, almost 160 million people working right now. Vote Republican, unless you want to see these numbers obliterated!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 10, 2020
Trump’s low unemployment rate has been a highlight of his presidency, and a huge reason why so many Americans plan to vote for Trump again in November.
Another great Twitter moment of Trump’s this week came when he once again let Democrats know that their politicization of the coronavirus is only hurting the American people.
Someone needs to tell the Democrats in Congress that CoronaVirus doesn’t care what party you are in. We need to protect ALL Americans!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 11, 2020
This tweet served as a reminder that Democrats would rather see coronavirus take the lives of hardworking Americans than see Trump succeed in eradicating the disease.
Trump also went after the mainstream media this past week for their unfairly biased depictions of him, specifically calling out Vanity Fair magazine.
Vanity Fair Magazine, which will soon be out of business, and their third rate Fake reporters, who make up sources which don’t exist, wrote yet another phony & boring hit piece. The facts are just the opposite. Our team is doing a great job with CoronaVirus!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 11, 2020
The media has been against Trump from day one, so it hasn’t come as a surprise that they have gleefully tried to blame coronavirus on him this past week despite the fact that he had absolutely nothing to do with the outbreak.
Finally, Trump started the week off by blasting the left-wing New York Times while also letting the world know that he fully intends to be in office for the next five years.
The New York Times is an embarrassment to journalism. They were a dead paper before I went into politics, and they will be a dead paper after I leave, which will be in 5 years. Fake News is the Enemy of the people!

Trump’s no-nonsense attitude on Twitter is partly what made millions of Americans get in his corner in the months leading up to the 2016 presidential election. His popularity on Twitter has only grown since then, which is why Democrats should be especially afraid going into this next election. In the end, it can’t be denied that nobody does Twitter like The Donald.
