Donald Trump attempted to take a victory lap on Thursday by saying that experts have told him that the curve has flattened and the peak of new cases has already passed.
President Trump: "Our experts say the curve has flattened and the peak in new cases is behind us."

Trump received criticism all over social media for jumping the gun and claiming victory too soon.
My Pillow Guy and Laura Ingraham are his “experts”

They have only tested 1% of the country. It’s absurd for anyone to suggest we know how widespread this is.

The exponential increase in infections has slowed because we are staying home and social distancing. Without testing, tracing and a vaccine re-opening states will cause a 2nd wave. Trump is more dangerous than COVID-19.#BoycottTrumpBriefings

Neither has Kansas. We just got equipment to do testing #TrumpPandemic #TrumpGenocide #WhereAreTheTests #StayHome
