Earlier this year, former Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer criticized some of the media by accusing them of going too easy on President Trump (pause for laughter).
With that in mind, perhaps Pfeiffer’s tried to take it upon himself to slam the president at every turn, even during a national crisis. Here’s today’s “blame Trump” take:
The massive blow to the economy is a result of social distancing.
The social distancing is a result of the failure to have sufficient tests.
The failure to have sufficient tests is a result of Trump’s incompetence or unwillingness to acknowledge the threat. https://t.co/kfGUgkYvlv

To be fair, so many replies to that were some form of “THIS!” Others actually thought it through, which for some these days is apparently too much to hope for:
Imagine thinking you don't need social distancing because you took one test and it said you were clear. You can still pick up the virus after you take the test, and even while you're waiting for the results.
Social distancing is necessary whether you like it or not. https://t.co/YN9uL2XIU6

Bingo!
This is not the case nor true. The social distancing was always going to be needed because of how badly the Chinese contained this from the onslaught. https://t.co/4MelQv7XIW

Party of science thinks testing stops the spread of the virus. https://t.co/yuxHjOor3j

The “party of science” has trouble sciencing sometimes.

The full court press to blame Trump for everything and anything needs to end. https://t.co/nGB7wJU3TT

That would be great, but sadly we’re not expecting that to ever actually happen.
