The president's attack is faulty on multiple fronts, however.

First, his claim that Biden was in charge is inaccurate. Former President Barack Obama never tapped Biden to run the government's response to the virus, as Trump has with Vice President Mike Pence on coronavirus.

And while it may be true that thousands of Americans died from the H1N1 virus, it was a different virus. Two cannot simply be compared The coronavirus is also understood to be more deadly and faster moving than the swine flu, according to health officials.

In a new set of tweets Friday, the president sought to further shift blame to the Obama administration, and even the nation’s leading public health institute for the federal government’s sluggish response in rolling out widespread testing.

.... 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!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 13, 2020

Trump has previously sought to falsely blame to the Obama administration by claiming they implemented a regulation on testing that was in fact never implemented. While the previous administration had proposed the idea of increasing oversight of medical testing to protect patients from being given tests they don't need or from inaccurate results, they ultimately never acted on the proposal or made it a regulation.

But as the president seeks to shift blame away from his own administration, three years into his first term, the president makes no mention of his own administration’s fumbles.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has acknowledged that its initial test kits didn’t work as designed and that new tests were needed -- delaying the government’s ability to detect and contain the spread of the virus.

It was also the Trump administration that disbanded a global health security unit that previously existed within the White House’s National Security Council.

Questioned last week if he's rethought the usefulness of having a pandemic preparation office at the White House, the president responded that this is the sort of thing you \"never really think is going to happen.\"

He added, \"Who would have thought?\"
