AP FACT CHECK: Trump's misdirection on virus testing, deaths
WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump is falsely assigning blame to governors and the Obama administration for shortages in coronavirus testing.
For much of the week, he was pretender to a throne that didn't exist as he claimed king-like powers over the pandemic response and Congress. But by the weekend, he was again saying governors called the shots and they are the ones to blame not the federal government, not him for any testing problems.
He says governors arent using all the testing capacity that the federal government has created. It's not true.
Meanwhile, Trump denied praising Chinas openness in the pandemic, when hes on record doing so repeatedly, and declared victory over what he calls relatively low death rates in the U.S. But thats too soon to tell.
