Johns Hopkins University says US was most prepared country in world for pandemic

The problem with lying is it is hard to keep your lies straight.


President Donald Trump insisted on Tuesday that he was serious when he revealed that he had directed his administration to slow coronavirus testing in the United States — shattering the defenses of senior White House aides who argued Trump’s remarks were made in jest.

“I don’t kid. Let me just tell you. Let me make it clear,” Trump told reporters, when pressed on whether his comments at a campaign event Saturday in Tulsa, Okla., were intended as a joke.

“We have got the greatest testing program anywhere in the world. We test better than anybody in the world. Our tests are the best in the world, and we have the most of them. By having more tests, we find more cases,” he continued.

Administration officials as high-ranking as Vice President Mike Pence have scrambled in recent days to clean up Trump’s statements on Saturday in Tulsa, Okla., where he reprised his dubious logic regarding testing rates before an arena of supporters.

“When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people,” Trump said during the rally. “You’re going to find more cases. So I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down, please.’”

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro suggested on Sunday the president never issued such an explicit directive, telling CNN Trump’s remarks were “tongue in cheek.”

“It was a comment that he made in jest,” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany added at a news briefing Monday, saying: “Any suggestion that testing has been curtailed is not rooted in fact.”

Even Pence sought to help manage the political fallout, telling governors in a conference call Monday that Trump’s testing comments were merely a “passing observation," according to a CBS News report.

But in an interview Monday, Trump did not deny making the ask of his administration to curtail coronavirus testing, instead contending that “if we did slow it down, we wouldn't show nearly as many cases.”

From The Hill:

"Trump denied telling his administration to scale back testing in an interview on Monday with CBN News,"

Either tell me why I am a liar or this will show why I think you are a scum bag and the most vile person here.

JohnR asks you repeatedly to stop the insults but you spit in his face which shows everyone what type of person you are.

I do not have time to go thorough EVERY post and every thread as I work my ass off with the job that PAYS the bills.

Dangles: ZERO use of the ANY variation of tard unless it is specific to the technical aspect of advance of something mechanical, like timing. This includes the substitution of "technical aspect of advance of something mechanical, like timing" into a political or mental sense. No circumventing. Got it?

That goes for everyone else, too. An arena of ideas, not insults please.


Everyone dial it the eff back.

You can't help yourself.

Remember the thread where you lied about Trump?..

But you said you didn’t lie

But I proved you wrong

And you still wouldn’t admit it regardless

Then you splained that your lie was just an error on your part so it didn’t count as a lie


You know lots about lying...expert like

Haven't we discussed this 2 times before - I said Trump said the virus would magically disappear. He said mysteriously. I told you previously it isn't a big deal.

And for that you call me a liar. It just shows what type of person you are. See my post above about what type of person I think you are.

You just continue to spit in the face of Kevin and John as you have no respect for anyone.
