How Trump has defied science on coronavirus

Donald Trump told thousands of supporters at a rally in Oklahoma he wanted to slow down testing for Covid-19 – despite experts saying the opposite. From masks to 'miracle' treatments, the Guardian's Maanvi Singh looks back at how the US president has long been contradicting and defying science during the coronavirus outbreak and the impact that has had on the country's handling of the pandemic

Trump isn't just bad at being a president, he's bad at being a human being

"Slow down pregnancy testing, there'll be less cases of pregnancy "
🙈🙉🙊

I went back to work May 18th, last week found out a coworker tested positive, so we all got tested. My test came back positive for Covid 19 and many of us did. The office is shut down. I don’t go shopping, I am so careful on what I did do day to day. This virus is very contagious and 6 feet is not enough.

"If we didnt do any testing we would have very few cases"?
That's like closing your eyes when the monster is coming....

[chrispotts]

The fact that anyone can support this toerag leaves me baffled

[JeanDage]

The tests are there and they're beautiful. He speaks in such an odd way.

Someone that egocentric is easily groomed by leaders of other nations.

American people: We choose Trump as our new president.

Carl Johnson: You're crazy man, you've lost it... you're gone.

[sheliawright]

This is what you get for putting a reality TV star in the POTUS chair. The office does not make you. It reveals the real you. This was said by a wise lady.

Mom: "Johnny, why didn't you graduate high school?
Johnny: "But I took so many tests. Nobody has seen anything like it. I have taken more tests than anyone in the school. "
Mom: "I understand, but you know you failed most of the tests, right?"
Johhny: "But more tests I take, more Fs I get. Testing really is a double edge sword"

[thinkharder]

If only Trump didn't get tested....he wouldn't be a case!

[SoFkwHat]

Trump is so jealous of Obama that he tries ( and fails) to darken his skin colouring .

[Megadavelife]

The country grows together unlike now it’s falling apart

I can name DJT, Agolf Twittler, Agent Orange, KungFlu Master, and 19 other names....

[rollinmc]

He refused to wear mask which is proven to work, but somehow tout the use of hydroxychloroquine, which was proven to be not that effective, why? I just want to understand why?

[andyroodaboss]

Can't believe a man this bad at being president is still the best candidate for the US. FML what's this world come to.

[liangdu]

The last scene of this video is quite interesting. Nobody there at the leader position. Hahaha ...

[smalltown]

How can i tell if my cat got a headache .

The ignoramus in chief is trying to bring the country together . . . in the hospital.
