Even for Donald Trump, this is deranged:
Trump on coronavirus cases: “When you test, you have a case. When you test, you find something is wrong with people. If we didn’t do any testing we would have very few cases.”

President Trump complains that people demand more COVID-19 testing and then “don’t give you credit” when it happens. “What we want is to get rid of this thing.”
He adds: “We have more cases than anybody in the world. But why? Because we do more testing.”

If we did less testing, fewer people would be sick. Is everyone clear on that?
