I know tRump is an evil and narcissistic sociopath but can somebody explain to me [View all]

why he doesn't get that the more testing that happens the better he will look. The numbers are almost meaningless at this point as the virus has spread across the entire country and you are either infected, infected and recovered or waiting to be infected.

If you are infected and not sick or not very sick, well at least you know and would probably feel better.
If you were infected and recovered you would feel better knowing it has past over you for now.
If you have not been infected, you would know and could take the right precautions.

For those that are infected and then die, well that was going to happen with or without testing at this point. (Not trying to be callous here and we should all be so damn mad that Trump has killed thousands needlessly.)

The more that fall into the first two the better for Trump. I am assuming that there are vastly more infections than our current testing is indicting. Showing a very high survival rate across a large percentage of the population would be a positive. Testing would give him that.
