We can reduce the number of confirmed cases of COVID 19 by reducing testing. Brilliant. A joke? I think not.

Press secretary McFanny and others of his staff claimed he said it 'tongue in cheek'. This post was edited by Kittigate at June 24, 2020 5:51 AM MDT

Trump doesn't have a sense of humour. Not a joke, just talking out of his a$$. As usual.

When caught in a stupid gaffe, a person quickly says, "I was only joking".  The problem is trump was serious.   To try to cover for this intentional gaffe, some are trying to pass it off as a joke.  They never learn.

No one in any country will know how many Wuflu cases there have been now or in the future.  It's an estimate no matter what.  The tests are still no acceptably reliable.

If we can't laugh at 2M sick people and 120K dead people, what exactly can we laugh at?

Even i you give him the benefit of the doubt and accept that he was "joking," it was tasteless at best.  Then again, it came out of the mouth of one of the most ignorant, intellectually bereft, despicable humans on the planet.

Yesturday Trump once again  said  that if they reduce testing there will be less cases so he wasn't just joking the first time he said it and it wasen't funny then and it's not funny the second time. Cheers!
