Donald Trump has decided to completely ignore the fact that there is a rise in COVID-19 cases in the country and chose to push his narrative that higher testing is responsible for the high case numbers.
Trump was asked during a White House event if he believed that the virus was spreading.
“Do you acknowledge that it’s going up for other reasons?” CBS correspondent Weijia Jiang asked. “For example, that it’s actually spreading? And what are you going to do to stop the spread?”
“We test more than anybody by far,” Trump replied. “And when you test, you create cases. So, we’ve created cases.”
“We have all of these cases and, you know, it’s a double-edged sword,” he explained. “At the same time we have the lowest mortality — or just about the lowest mortality in the world. We’re doing a great job.”
“But we have the best and certainly, by far, the biggest testing program anywhere in the world,” Trump added. “If you tested China or Russia or any of the larger countries, if you tested India, as an example, the way we test, the numbers would be very surprising.”
