My God:
Both of those statement are simply … insane.
But he didn’t stop there:
I don’t know how many people will hear these comments but they are among the dumbest things he’s ever said. And boy is that saying something. He seems to truly believe that if they didn’t test we wouldn’t have the problem. (Or that the testing is what causes people to catch the virus?)
We know he also thinks the death toll is a big lie so basically, his position seems to be that the virus is not really that bad and the only reason it looks bad is that his enemies are lying about the death toll and all the testing is making it seem like there’s more disease than there actually is. Or something. It truly makes no sense.
Meanwhile:
A majority of Americans disagree with Trump on testing. They say he’s not doing enough and we need more tests.
- 73% of Americans believe there are not enough tests available in the United States.
- 57% of Americans say the federal government is not doing enough to address the limited availability of testing.
- 61% of Americans say it’s the federal government’s responsibility to make sure there are enough coronavirus tests to safely reopen.
- 62% of Americans say they don’t trust Trump for coronavirus info.
- 57% of Americans say Trump has done a bad job handling the coronavirus outbreak.
I’m just shocked that so many still approve. Of course, they seem to be the sorts of people who rush out to a crowded bar to get drunk the minute their right-wing court takes the power away from elected officials to protect the public.
