And god knows who else?

Who helped Trump slow the testing down?

How long should Trump's helpers serve in prison?

2. Trump is saying "to my people" to let more Americans die so his "numbers" are improved.

He's still stuck back in the Nielsen polling days. T.V. and fake reality shows.

This is the real reality. People are dying because of his self-obsessed interests.

Being thrown in a dungeon would be too nice for him and his cohort of criminals.

What's the matter that you can't take a joke?

5. Bunker Boy TOLD "his people" to slow down testing - he didn't "ask"; he didn't just "want" (NBC)

What is it with some media reporting other then what Bunker Boy actually said: "So I Said To My People Slow The Testing Down Please"

Bunker Boy is who he is. It's difficult to believe, but he "TOLD" them to slow down testing.

6. If it was a joke..

It wasn't funny by any measure.

His advisers were quick to jump to his defense, saying it was tongue in cheek.

That is more funny than the original "joke".

7. Trump also told "his people" to give preference to red states when distributing needed medical aid.

He ordered "his people" to confiscate hosptal supplies intended for blue states. He told "his people" to refuse permission for cruise ships with sick passengers to dock, just to keep the infection rate low. He instructed "his people" to withold financial aid to states that didn't toe the line and reopen when he demanded. He incited "his people" to storm statehouses and threaten certain governors while heavily armed.

Trump also advised Americans to drink Clorox and inject Lysol. He pushed quack cures like hydroxychloroquine so his associates could personally profit. Trump did every fucking thing he could to sabotage the CDC's response and silence the science experts from the first day the coronavirus was discovered. All of it is on the record.

Now, after the imbecile openly confesses he was trying to prevent COVID-19 testing all along to help his polling numbers, to get a cheap laugh from the assembled morons at his rally, this despicable POS protests it was just "a joke" when the media reports his crime. Trump is a mass murderer, he must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for his crimes of negligent genocide.

8. This was the third time and he's serious, of course.

Because to him everything really is about HIM. Case #s aren't about sick people, they're bad PR for HIM. Obvious to anyone with his superior IQ, just don't do the stupid tests that produce them.

Btw, I assumed that 25M tests he claimed must be a lie just because when does he ever not? It's apparently genuinely @26M. Apparently even Trump can flub a chance to lie now and then.

10. Will this discourage MAGAts from getting tested?

Many already refuse to wear masks as a show of support for Trump, who also refuses to wear one, and some Republican voters have torn up their absentee ballot applications because Trump told them that mail-in voting is rife with fraud. They take their cues from their leader, so it would not surprise me if they refuse to get tested for Covid-19 if they develop symptoms, because Trump said testing is "overrated."
