Amid ongoing attempts to save face as the number of positive coronavirus cases continues to rise around the country, President Trump would not say whether or not he had requested that his staff “slow the testing down.”
At genocide…
What no new joke? Of course Trump slow walked testing. We knew that the minute he complained that allowing passengers off of the infected cruise ship would make “his numbers” go up.
When pushed again on the question and whether or not the President had pushed for a slow-down of testing, Trump again demurred.
“We’re so far advanced,” the President said touting both the “quality” and “the amount” of tests.

In that video clip Trump basically admitted that he directed a slowdown in testing so the numbers wouldn’t look so bad. He took a long, convoluted way to say it, but it was a definite non-denial.
“Trump Refuses To Confirm…”
Which means: of course he fucking did!
to be serious there are a lot of people suffering because he wanted to protect himself, and only himself
So was it or not a joke?
Who knows, the man is so thoroughly confused that he doesn’t even remember what he said and why.
Bad news, here. Treat good people Working in the public sector poorly and they leave.
I have no doubt he told staff to slow down testing.
My question remains, does he really think it will reduce cases (stupid and dangerous) or that it will just help with the illusion that there are fewer cases and things are under control (again, stupid and dangerous, but also continuing to be complicit in more preventable suffering and death).
“… if you want to know the truth we’ve done too good a job,”
What does that mean? So good a job that more people should be dying of Covid 19?
20 years ago, at the beginning of the Trump administration*, Josh said that the stupidest reason would explain Trump’s position or actions. And once again this holds up.
This is a person who thinks the human body has a finite amount of energy. So of course he thinks more testing means more positives. (In a negative way.)
January 2021 can’t come soon enough.
To judge by the “availability” of testing, you did. O you did.
You fucking murderer.
Since Trump’s support base tends to be vulnerable to the infection, it could be a case of genosuicide.
It’s just political theater to keep the numbers as low as possible, encouraging people to ignore the virus.
Trump’s plan – that he can’t say out loud – is for the virus to “wash through” the population as quickly as possible in hopes of getting the economy rolling again. That’s it, no other plan. He doesn’t care that it means more deaths.
And he’s too stupid to see that more funerals are not going to persuade people to spend money.
So I’m hearing the Trump Campaign likely broke federal law in Tulsa.
The campaign failed to add the “I Am Over 18” checkbox required by federal law for online transactions to their recent Tulsa Oklahoma event required registration; and they now possess the personal data for every minor or person under majority who signed up for tickets.
Once again this is a violation of federal trade law, specifically COPPA. The most recent violators of this law (Google and YouTube) paid $170 million in damages to the FTC; paying approximately $18,000 per underage individual.
So, if it’s true that over a million kids pranked Trump on tickets, the penalty for him and his campaign would be around $18 Billion.
I really would like to see him on trial for genocide.
