Twitter Users Mock Trump For Claiming He's Getting 'Great' COVID-19 Reviews
Twitter users brutally mocked President Donald Trump on Memorial Day for simultaneously claiming he’s getting “great reviews” for the way he’s handled the coronavirus pandemic and griping he’s not getting enough credit.
The tweet came Monday afternoon as U.S. deaths related to COVID-19 neared the 100,000 mark. Not that the president thought that was worth mentioning.
Great reviews on our handling of Covid 19, sometimes referred to as the China Virus. Ventilators, Testing, Medical Supply Distribution, we made a lot of Governors look very good - And got no credit for so doing. Most importantly, we helped a lot of great people!

Many Twitter users were shocked by what they were reading.
Great reviews? Like on Rotten Tomatoes?

Psycho whines BOTH that nobody gives him credit AND people are giving him great reviews. Narcissistic, paranoid, delusional and impossible thinking. pic.twitter.com/UySoqDIeSu

Some people pointed out that the Trump’s handling of the pandemic is more of a lesson plan on what not to do.
You've written the book on everything NOT to do. You failed our country; your arrogance has resulted in tens of thousands of needless deaths. You failed to lead, leaving it to the states and our public health officials to handle this pandemic. You did NOTHING, and it shows. https://t.co/i8gdoUhDz0

Others wondered where these “reviews” were actually published and wished they could post their own.
Is there a Yelp for pandemics? If so:
1/2★ 100,000 Americans dead. https://t.co/Z926DcLzgr— Jennifer M. Wood (@j_m_wood) May 25, 2020
The Times gave 4 stars but Pandemic Weekly panned it. https://t.co/8WemZOlMl4
