CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “If we didn’t get the tests, if we did no tests in the White House, you’d be up complaining, ‘Why aren’t you getting tests for the White House?’ See, we can’t win, because if we didn’t get the tests, you’d be up — I understand you very well, better than you understand yourself — and, frankly, if we didn’t get tests done, you’d be up complaining about the fact that we didn’t have the tests done…
As far as Americans getting a test, they should all be able to get a test right now. They should be able to get a test…
If people want to get tested, they get tested. We have the greatest capacity in the world… But, for the most part, they shouldn’t want to get tested. There’s no reason. They feel good. They don’t have sniffles. They don’t have sore throats. They don’t have any problem.”
-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump in a Press Briefing on COVID-19 Testing,” whitehouse.gov, May 11, 2020
