If you're used to Trump's style, you'ld take it for the "light moment" that it was. Of course, if you hate Trump you would absolutely say that he meant it.

Maybe some staffer will leak that he actually, seriously, requested that testing be slowed down. In the meantime, testing is voluminous.
The old fallback, he was being funny.

Meanwhile the Covid Task Force has disappeared, the testing for general admission to the WH has been dismantled and he sits on 14 Billion appropriated by Congress for testing and tracing while the 7 day average climbs to record highs in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Kentucky, New Mexico, North Carolina, Mississippi, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.

Not funny

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
