I will say this though about the media. I think they clearly have twisted Trump's words on the testing comments lately. I think it is clear that Trump is saying the US has more cases because we test more and that when he says if we didn't test we would have less reported cases. He is all about comparing to other countries. The media and late night comedians are disingenuous in claiming Trump thinks if we didn't test than there would be no cases.
I can't stand Trump but the media should do better. When they twist words to fit their narrative it just gives the right more to be angry about.
So I understand your point, but I think it is also clear Trump doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about.
Right, he was making an argument that cases were up because of testing and not because of states opening up and there being a surge.0 -

I particularly like the “dropping bombs” comment. I wonder if it’ll be a drone strike or a MOAB? Or just a run of the mill 500 pounder?

Which media are you seeing twisting the comments in this way? I have not seen the media conflate the two issues, when I look at the major media outlets. I've seen the media reporting that people are horrified at the suggestion to reduce testing to have "better numbers"; I haven't seen anyone reporting that Trump believes that if you stop testing the actual number of cases will go down.If you listen to the video I posted around the 2:30 mark he clearly was saying that if you don't test then you don't have any cases. He was speaking of reported cases and not saying that no one would be sick (as Seth Myers contends). Even as dumb as Trump is anyone with a brain knows what he was referring to there if you look at the context. He was making the argument that other countries don't test as many people and that is why the US has more cases. I can't stand Trump but I also can't stand it when media/pundits attack him (or anyone) when that is not what was said in context. Actually, I don't there was any context missed. If you don't test you don't have confirmed cases. It hurts credibility of the media and makes it easier for the far right to point and say "well the liberal media lies too".
This is bad on so many levels.1. That we have the most cases is irrelevant. We have the most deaths. By a ton. That’s why trump and the gop need to be exposed by the media. The testing is an effort to PREVENT DEATH. It is for certain not funny and trump should be impeached again for making jokes about life and death issues. The testing tells us who should be isolated so others don’t get infected and die a horrible death.
2. Saying the US has the most testing is another lie. When you measure per capita, the US is TWENTY SIXTH in testing https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
edit, please remember to sort by “tests per 1 mil pop” until the larger amounts are up top and you will see USA at 26thPost edited by Lerxst1992 on0 -

If it's classified than it's true. If he's lying, well then, it can't really be classified.
