Trump doesn't particularly want Americans to be tested for the coronavirus. [View all]
The conclusion here is simple, and has been right on the surface all along: Trump doesn’t particularly want Americans to be tested for the coronavirus. Some pundits and politicians seem unwilling to draw this conclusion, at least in public, in no small part because it doesn’t seem to make sense.
No one is under any illusions that Trump cares about the American public, of course. But mass testing seems like it would clearly be in the president’s self-interest. His best chance at winning re-election is for the economy to be safely reopened, and at least partly recover, before November. But that simply can’t be done without mass testing. Trying to reopen the economy without doing that, as states like Georgia and South Carolina are planning to do, is just likely to cause the virus to spread more rapidly, which will only worsen the economic downturn.
