If Trump doesn't use funds already allocated for testing, then what?

But, Trump has already said words like........"If we don't test, then we won't have as many cases"..
Did Trump say that in the last few days?..Is that an impeachable act? Money allocated to test & save lives, but Trump does not use the money?..Didn't he say the numbers would go down, if we don't test?...Am I making this up?..What the hell is Donald Trump doing? How could he say something like that, and then not spend the money? Maybe I got this one wrong..That is ok, I make mistakes and admit them..But, is this story about not using the money the truth?...I do know that he said something like that at a rally. Could someone explain this to me..please???

because the GOP has announced they will not obey the law anymore, havent for a few years now.

They want everyone exposed to the virus so whoever is gonna die dies, so they can force us back to work to empower their portfolios and to give a reason to reelect someone who has NOT had a single thing to do with any part of the economy in a positive manner.

This is upside down world and we are not going to survive, many of us. GOP is willing to use him to kill us and we cant prevent that.

full of shit.

He has absolutely no idea of the depth of the problem and less idea what to do about it, so he just drools words.
