"If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any."

3:00 PM - Jun 15, 2020

So glad he has his head around this...

1. Fucking murdering piece of soulless shit.

How about they stop testing him.

[malaise]

60. But but but

anyone who plans to come near him must be tested.

Throw hi in a padded room for the sake of humanity.

[onecaliberal]

76. Something, my god. How do people stand there while he utters this complete bullshit?

I would literally ask him if he’s fucking insane.

[dewsgirl]

2. K and R

[unblock]

3. Truth to him is entirely the fiction of his own propaganda

If it's not in the media, it doesn't exist.

Well, except for the grifting and the sex with porn stars and so on....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. So if I thought I was pregnant and didn't get a pregnancy test,

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.

[SharonClark]

11. K&R

[IggleDuer]

38. Or if she never got a pregnancy test ...

.. and just got an abortion, it wouldn't be an "illegal" abortion.

[SoonerPride]

5. He is like a toddler. If his hand disappears up a his sleeve it is gone forever.

He is literally too stupid to be president.

[NurseJackie]

18. Excellent analogy! He possesses ZERO ability to comprehend even the most basic concepts...

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.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. LOL, he can't handle the concept of object permanence,

which is something even my cat can do. If Trump can't see something it isn't there; but my cat knows her toy is under the couch even if she can't see it.

[Hortensis]

28. Lol, yes, especiallyi if it was a tiny hand. His reality is very flexible. nt.

[OMGWTF]

40. Traitor Tot thinks if his eyes are closed we can't see him.

[SoonerPride]

49. If only when I closed my eyes he'd disappear

I’d never open my eyes again

6. Twitter reply :

[NotAPuppet]

7. Had Stormi Daniels not told the

entire world about Trump’s widdle mushroom, then the affair would have never happened.

I see how he thinks now....

[no_hypocrisy]

8. So in Trump's Bizarro World logic, testing causes CV.

No wonder I couldn't come up with that first . . . . . . .

[Ms. Toad]

9. Not the first time he's made this assinine assertion. n/t

[SharonClark]

12. Yep.

[sop]

10. Trump is really some manner of idiot.

What's shocking is his moron followers will accept this stupidity as logical.

[ret5hd]

13. Dayummm...why didn't we think of this through...

the AIDS, polio, smallpox epidemics of yore???

[soothsayer]

14. This is why news doctors are careful to point out

... rising hospitalizations

[liberalla]

15. A special kind of stupid.

[SharonClark]

16. So if I don't open my bills then I don't have

to pay them?

[ret5hd]

23. If you don't open them...

there’s nothing to pay! Don’t you get it? It’s not that you don’t have to pay them, it’s that there is nothing owed!!!

[SharonClark]

31. LOL - I stand corrected.

[Kaiserguy]

53. So if we all pretend that Trump is no longer president

does that mean he goes away?

[NYC Liberal]

68. Given Trump's history of not paying bills, I am 99.9% certain this is what he actually believes.

It actually all makes sense now.

[PJMcK]

17. Everyone is so impressed that Trump gets this stuff

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.

20. If you put tape over the odometer in your car

You never need to change the oil or get new tires.

[Jamastiene]

25. I wonder if that means a person can claim they weren't speeding too.

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.

[yonder]

37. Or, if I don't see a speed limit sign, there is no speed limit.

[Jamastiene]

21. He is back to that stupid shit again?

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.

[Totally Tunsie]

22. Daily I ask myself if this guy could really be "that stupid".

Daily the answer comes back "Of course he is, and he'll still get worse".

How does his brain even function?

[Crunchy Frog]

24. How about if we stop testing people who are around him?

Then he would never have to worry about getting infected himself.

[smirkymonkey]

26. Is he really this stupid or is it all just an act?

I mean, seriously. WTF?

[sinkingfeeling]

27. He's the stupidest man in America.

[oswaldactedalone]

30. What a total dumbass

Is this one more sign of mental deterioration? Is there anyone in the administration who can explain to him how absolutely moronic this is?

[struggle4progress]

'What the' starts with "f" and ends with "uck".

[sprinkleeninow]

83. Clever!

Stay safe, keep healthy. 💚

[JenniferJuniper]

33. He's not "that" stupid,

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.

[superpatriotman]

34. He's acting Mizaru

and he should be Iwazaru

36. "If I muffle the sound of screaming, there is no one being killed"

[JDC]

39. Well, ignore it and it will go away is his strategy.

That is one dumb fuck right there ladies and gents. Pure idiocy on display.

How soon before Trump supporting states stop testing?

[Botany]

41. Trump, "If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any."

United States of America 2,135,309 # of cases 117,426 # of deaths

https://weather.com/coronavirus/l/39.9614,-82.9988

[Colorado Liberal]

42. I see Operation "Just let him talk" is continuing to be a success

I don't know why I keep expecting there to be someone on his staff to get him under control...

[Ferrets are Cool]

43. Just like a repug, he left out a crucial word. "REPORTED"

Stupid fucking idiot.

[llmart]

44. Proves the old saying...

"Ignorance is bliss."

And he's about as ignorant as they come.

[seta1950]

45. That means

I can believe we don’t have a president

[Disaffected]

46. Trump is as dumb as gravel but,

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).

[Roc2020]

47. ?? soooo is Trump going to try and hide

patients that are dying in hospitals? maybe get the army to invade hospitals and hide all the deaths. This dude is reeling right now.

[StarfishSaver]

48. If we get rid of thermometers, we'd have very few cases of the flu

How has this man managed to convince anyone to vote for him?

[ananda]

50. Well, the worldometer numbers look way too low.

I just don't think the cases and deaths are being
reported properly.

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

[thesquanderer]

51. I just hope there's audio, so Sarah Cooper can do a video (n/t)

[Lakerstan]

52. Without biopsies, there is no cancer.

[live love laugh]

57. Right?!

And his cult is silent.

[TrogL]

54. Remember the movie Deep Impact?

People were really pissed off at the boy who discovered the comet, as if it weren’t discovered, it wouldn’t impact the earth.

I’ve lived with these people. That’s how they think.

[Aviation Pro]

55. How fucking stupid is this fucking, weak, obese bag of shit?

I think he sucks and absorbs all the stupid in a 10 mile radius of his bloated carcass.

[Hekate]

56. If he only had a brain....

[brush]

69. Which character is it in "The Wizard of OZ" with no brain?

[Hekate]

77. The Scarecrow -- rather fittingly, a straw man

The Cowardly Lion needed to find courage
The Tin Man needed a heart

[catbyte]

73. He's all three rolled into one: no brain, heart, or courage.

[tanyev]

58. But there would be thousands and thousands of 'unexplained' deaths, ya moron.

[LuckyLib]

59. Make it stop. Please. Just make it stop!

[Skittles]

61. he sees increased numbers of positives as a threat to HIM

not as a threat to AMERICA

[subterranean]

62. If police stopped arresting people, we'd have no more crime!

If we stop collecting unemployment statistics, there would be no more unemployment.

This logic can be used to solve any problem!

[PCIntern]

63. WAIT!!!! SO THE TESTING IS KILLING 1000 PEOPLE A DAY!!!

Omg. What to do!!!!???

[Tommymac]

64. We are seeing how well THAT strategy worked for over 450 years...

Black Lives Matter

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.

Fucking Mass murdering asshole.

[NotHardly]

65. The shame I feel for the U.S. having this moron as head of state...

that anyone can or would work with him or for him is beyond me. There are no adults in the room.

66. I love the Hoarse Whisperer's response:

[LymphocyteLover]

70. this mind-boggling level of stupidity is KILLING US

this motherfucker needs to go!!!

[essme]

71. I guess all those people in ICU's (800 in NC) are really OK.

The test made them go the hospital. No test no ICU beds taken.

What a lying sack of shit.

[catbyte]

72. Hey, Einstein, if we eliminated all laws there wouldn't be any criminals. What a dumbass.

[kentuck]

74. We would still have them. They do not disappear just because you don't count them??

Unless, of course, he thinks it's all a hoax?

[ecstatic]

78. Everytime he says shit like this, I'm enraged with republicans who continue

to do nothing in the face of trump's gross ignorance and incompetence. Millions of lives are at stake and they continue to do nothing. It's called criminal negligence.

80. Trump is Onion-ing again.

Getting to be as frequent as his lying........

81. Calling Sarah Cooper!

82. and deaths would stop right

It is the tests that kill you
