If you hit the link above, you have to scroll down about 1/2 page, to a section titled, "Nation on its knees" to find this statement..

Here is the key paragraph about what Trump said:

....."I don't kid, let me just tell you, let me make it clear," Trump said before leaving for Arizona. "By having more tests, we have more cases," he added. Experts say testing is the key to tracking true incidence of the disease and breaking chains of infections. Fauci said that the US planned to test more people not fewer. And while Trump's claims that the US leads the world in gross numbers of tests produced, the total conducted over five months -- 22 million, according to Redfield -- is far short of what health experts say is necessary in per capita terms to defeat the virus.

2. When he says that nonsense where is this follow up question:

"The number of cases will continue to increase even if we had no testing. You do know that even if there are no tests there are still increasing numbers of people out in the country who have the disease, right?"

Why is the press so bad at their job?
