anyone who plans to come near him must be tested.

(115,858 posts)would that mean I wasn't pregnant? Hey, what a way to eliminate the abortion controversy! If a woman who didn't want to be pregnant didn't get a pregnancy test, she wouldn't be pregnant and she wouldn't need an abortion at all. Problem solved.

(42,862 posts)Excellent analogy! He possesses ZERO ability to comprehend even the most basic concepts... and it's perfect to compare his mental acuity to that of a toddler who lacks the ability to understand object permanence.

(22,050 posts)You know, if he hadn't been elected president, he might have gone into medicine.
It's truly amazing how Trump is so expert at so many things. He knows more about ISIS than the generals. He knows more about Covid-19 than the doctors. He knows more about policing than the cops. He's made the best vodka, the best steaks, the best casinos, the best airlines and football team and even the best university and charitable foundation. It's incredible that he has such an array of talents that he can tell us about. He did say, after all, that he's like a really smart guy who is really, really rich.
Trump is truly a Renaissance man.
That is, in the unreality of his fantasy.

(38,187 posts)As long as we are in the age of Trump magical thinking, might as well try it and point out that the president said if we refuse to see something, it makes it not true. Oh, that's right. The rest of us cannot get away with sticking our heads in the sand like that and claiming nonsense.

(38,187 posts)Really?
That is magical thinking.
A pregnant woman is no less pregnant if she doesn't take a pregnancy test. And all of the other examples people gave his stupid ass before about how sticking your head in the sand doesn't make something go away like that.
That is one stupid man. His followers are that stupid too.

JenniferJuniper
(4,515 posts)he's desperate. And he'd like the testing to be scaled way back so hospitalizations and deaths can be blamed on other things. Summer flu. Lyme Disease. Food poisoning! Anything but the Trump Virus.

Disaffected
(4,569 posts)isn't that similar to what he said two or three weeks ago which, when reported, was taken out of context?? In context what he said then was in effect, 'If we stop testing now, we'd have very few cases to report on.'
I dunno if it's the same with the recent quote but I'm doubting even Trump is that dump (unless he has finally gone completely bonkers, which I suppose is a distinct possibility).

reported properly.
I suspect there is a lot of under-testing too.

Whether you pay attention to the issue or not...it has been real and simmering in this country and has finally boiled over.
Ignorance is not bliss.
Whether we test or not...Ten's of 1,000's are going to die in the next 6 months.
