“Our basic reading of the rule of law under threat”
On his Twitter account, Donald Trump defended his record in the face of the Covid-19 epidemic: “We get great grades for our management of the coronavirus pandemic, especially with the PROHIBITION of people from China, the source of the infection, entering the United States. Compare that with the Obama disaster and the sleeping Joe better known as the H1N1 swine flu. Bad marks, bad polls … They didn’t understand anything! “Wrote the President.
We are getting great marks for the handling of the CoronaVirus pandemic, especially the very early BAN of people from China, the infectious source, entering the USA. Compare that to the Obama / Sleepy Joe disaster known as H1N1 Swine Flu. Poor marks, bad polls – didn’t have a clue!

Barack Obama criticized the controversial US Department of Justice decision this weekend to drop the charges against Michael Flynn, a former Donald Trump advisor, who was accused of lying about his contacts with a Russian diplomat. “There is no precedent that can be found for a person charged with perjury who gets away with it,” he said. “This is the kind of situation where one can begin to fear that (…) our basic reading of the rule of law will be threatened,” he warned.
