https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-says-he-asked-administration-to-slow-the-testing-downon-coronavirusCause I'm assuming this bullshit is just Trump spouting off random irresponsibility from his fried chicken hole. There's got to be someone in the White House actually saying, No we have to keep up increasing the test because people are dying. Right? Right?
Trump Says He Asked Administration To Slow The Testing Down On Coronavirus
TULSA, Okla. (AP) President Donald Trump said Saturday hes asked his administration to slow down coronavirus testing because robust testing turns up too many cases of COVID-19.
Trump told supporters at his campaign rally that the U.S. has tested 25 million people, far more than any other country. The bad part, Trump said, is that widespread testing leads to logging more cases of the virus.

OP
The Conservative mind generally stops developing during teenage years, so mentally the answer is no.

And, there are very few in the entire Republican party.
Apologies to gummy bears (which I still love) but this commercial always makes me think of what it must be like in White House these days....

to hold high profile jobs, they are beholding to you. When they appear to become insufficiently grateful, they get the boot, and have to resume a life of meritocracy appropriate to their actual abilities.
