'Daily Show' runs compilation of Trump pointing blame for the coronavirus spread
Watch Next

There aren't many politicians out there who are quick to hold up their hands and admit when they've made mistakes, especially in these unprecedented times. But although there's mounting proof the White House was warned about the threat of a pandemic but did not act, Donald Trump is in a whole other league of pointing the finger.

The Daily Show compilation above mashes together various clips of the president blaming other people and organisations for their decisions relating to the coronavirus — from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to the Obama administration, from the World Health Organization to China.

That's a lot of finger-pointing, especially from someone who previously said the coronavirus pandemic would "disappear by April."
