On Wednesday, President Donald Trump retracted his claim that the U.S. will soon be able to administer 5 million COVID-19 tests every day after his own testing director on the White House task force, Admiral Brett Giroir, emphatically rejected the possibility of that goal.
âWait! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? I didnât say 5 million! Damn media! Obama! Weâve done more than anybody in HISTORY! Ever!â Uh huh. First it was a million which had no basis in reality and now it is 5 millionâŠagain, no basis in reality but ⊠SUCH a âleaderâ.
Never mind that he completely contradicts what he said about this vital matter literally the next day. Heâs done that god knows how many times. Itâs that this really is vital to making a semblance of normality viable in this country without risking peopleâs lives. And he knows nothing about it, doesnât care about it, and theyâve done nothing about it. Nothing. The states canât do this. It has to be the feds. And theyâve done nothing.
But, but âSomebody started throwing around the 5 million tests claim and I was only passing it on doncha see? Why do you reporters always need to remind me of what I said yesterday when I donât want you to or even remember what I said yesterday? Why is the truth so mean to me?â
