Donald Trump last night stepped up his attacks on Barack Obama after his predecessor slammed his 'chaotic' coronavirus response in a leaked conference call.
Replying to one tweet claiming that Obama 'is the first Ex-President to ever speak against his successor,' Trump wrote: 'He got caught, OBAMAGATE!'

There's currently more than 1.3 million cases of coronavirus and 78,000 deaths in the U.S. - and several state and local governments have begun reopening and ending lockdown and stay-at-home

Trump boasted Sunday in one of his tweets, 'So great to see our Country starting to open up again!,' including an image of hi

Last month, Obama offered veiled criticism of Trump over the COVID-19 crisis, claiming that there was no 'coheren

'While we continue to wait for a coherent national plan to navigate this pandemic, states like Massachusetts are beginning to adopt their own public health plans to combat this virus--before it's

Obama used the tweet to issue an attack on the president, but also praised Massachusetts for its response to the pandemic with a New Yorker article titled: It's Not Too Late

As several states continue to lament that they do not have the supplies to administer enough testing, some
matters into their own hands.
Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker launched a plan for full-scale, statewide testing, which will be used to implement ef
antine and treatment systems.
The state was able to increase the number of tests administered from just 41 on March 9
n eight thousand by April 17.
Obama also attacked his successor at the end of March as Trump signed the CARES Act to provide $2.2 trillion in economic stimulus and r
