That's a very huffy look from Trump while taking questions today:
Incidentally, you can see where he got this bit of "whataboutism" from - Fox News had an article about it a few days ago:
However, during the 2009 swine flu pandemic, the Obama administration suddenly told states to shut down their testing,
without providing much in the way of explanation. And, Biden's top
advisor at the time has acknowledged that the Obama
administration didn't do "anything right" to combat that pandemic,
before walking back those comments.
The record seemingly
complicates Biden's claims, in advertising and speeches, that he would
have handled state-level coronavirus testing more effectively than the
current White House.
As David Roberts said recently, the Republicans and conservatives have virtually no arguments that don't come down to "whataboutism". It's a style of argument that appeals particularly strongly to a chronic narcissist.
