Ted Johnson President Donald Trump boasted of his administration’s response to the coronavirus crisis at his Tulsa rally on Saturday, but one comment quickly stood out.Building on his contention that more test numbers lead to more cases, he told the crowd, “You know testing is a double-edged sword.

We have tested now 25 million people. It is probably 20 million people more than anybody else….Here;’s the bad part. When you test to that extent, you are going to find more people, find more cases.

So I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down please.’ They test and they test.”The crowd laughed. Then he imitated a doctor, in a riff on the way that coronavirus cases are classified.
