Trump says that 'if we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases' of coronavirus

President Donald Trump listens during a roundtable discussion with African-American supporters in the Cabinet Room of the White House, Wednesday, June 10, 2020, in Washington. President Donald Trump said Monday that there would be very few cases of coronavirus if the US stopped its testing and contact tracing measures.

, there was a 185% increase in new cases in Oklahoma as of Monday morning, compared to two weeks ago.Arkansas, Oregon, Florida, and Nevada all had increases of more than 100% compared to two weeks ago, while Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Utah had increases between 39% and 60%.President Donald Trump said Monday that there would be very few cases of coronavirus if the US stopped its testing and contact tracing.

"So the media likes to say we have the most cases, but we do, by far, the most testing. If we did very little testing, we wouldn't have the most cases. So, in a way, by doing all of this testing, we make ourselves look bad," "For instance, they would say we have more than China. I don't think so. We have more than other countries. I don't think so. But by doing all of the testing ... we're going to have more cases because we do more testing.

His comment on Monday comes as multiple states across the country are seeing spikes in confirmed cases as they relax social distancing guidelines and begin reopening their economies. Now, as states ease lockdown measures and reopen businesses, public health experts warn that an increase in confirmed cases will follow. The spike will also likely be exacerbated due to nationwide protests against racism and police brutality following the Memorial Day death of George Floyd in police custody.States like Florida, Oklahoma, Arizona, Arkansas, South Carolina, and others have seen an uptick in new cases.

Can’t read

Worst part is that he doesn’t know how much of a moron he really is...

Only rationale is realDonaldTrump potus has brain damage from HCQ side effects. IQ no longer above room temp

Wow. Just wow. Americans 🇺🇸 must be so proud having elected this man.

He'll say anything and do anything to distract from his failures as a leader and as a human being. Everyone keep your foot on the gas pedal to get him out of office.

Following Potus logic, if we stopped giving pregnancy tests, would we have less pregnancies in America? Hmmmm, maybe in his mind. Just another example that he is not really a “stable genius” as he professes. TuesdayThoughts

This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard....

the US really needs to invest heavily in mental illness. Forget covid19

What planet are you living on?

'If we turn off the news corrupt politicians will disappear'

He’s correct. You can’t have a confirmed case if you don’t test

Clever 😂😂😂

Does that mean if you stop asking people if they are realDonaldTrump supporters, they will cease to exist .....Shout it from the rooftops....

Where to begin....

Yeah.

File that with his ' People are dying that has never died before'

Less cases being reported....media is conflating number of people who had it with people that need medical attention. Many are asymptomatic so reporting number of cases is misleading when we are testing more outside of the hospitals.

Babies usually develop the concept of object permanence (the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen, heard, touched, smelled or sensed in any way) around the age of 8 months. It appears that Trump never reached this developmental milestone.

Huh?

This clearly implies one of two things, or both: 1) doing the test itself spreads the virus; 2) not looking at something makes it not exist. ————— WHAT?

JENIUS

😂😂😂 he gats sense.

Good idea

Right decision.

alferdez sos vos

Is this guy still in charge of the US of A? Seriously

Why you don’t know can hurt you!

Fu sherlock

.....Lost for words.

If Bunkerboy stops himself, there would be very few cases of bad days ahead.

If he shuts up, he wouldn’t lie

Does he really think testing causes coronavirus?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is literally burying your head in the sand. Just because you don't test doesn't mean you have less cases. It means the cases still exist, you just don't know about them. That's kinda how we are in the position that we are in.

Either this is fake news or the US has an idiot with their finger on the nuclear button and is about to press it.

😂😂😂

what’s that? facts!

The odious Trump is quite possibly the stupidest person in existence

Trump think the test is increasing the spread of the virus? He must have left out the word 'reported'.

Why ... Why .... That orange faced man is allowed to speak 🙄

Yeah that actually makes sense!

'if we didn't stop at red lights we'd get around tremendously quicker'

Well... He isn't wrong

Elementary my dear Watson

He can't be this stupid. Or can he?

The whole world rn

Hm, maybe he knows something you don't know. I’ve been told the test lives a strange test in the month maybe there is already some virus on it that way some react to it and others not,

If we stopped printing money, we be in a depression too.

Bless his heart. mentalillnessisreal

VISIONARY 😭😭😭😭😭 lmaoo

If I stop checking my mail, I’d have fewer bills!

post more fake politics than business info. It’s about time to unfollow this account. Your liberal logic isn’t logic at all.

THANK U MR. PRESIDENT FOR YOU STEADFAST LEDERSHIP THRU THIS CRISIS ENGINERED BY THE LOW-IQ DEMOCRATS 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

If we all fasted to death, we would solve world hunger. FinancialTimes MariaBartiromo

🙄

These is the mad blabberings of a man with impaired mental cognition. dementiadonald TrumpIsNotWell WaterGait

If I stop weighing myself on the scale, I’ll stop gaining weight. TrumpIsNotWell TrumpResignNow

Don't ask don't tell?

OMG....

Boy!

stupid as usual. If people would stop weighing we would have no overweight people.

Who said it? Featured question on future hit game show, 'Quote from Idiocracy or Quote from Trump'

StableGenius strikes again WorstPresidentEver

“If we just held our breath, we wouldn’t need air”

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No he didn't say that. He couldn't have. That would be ludicrous

Wow man

If teachers stop scoring tests taken by students, the failure rates would 'dramatically drop'.

oh not today.
