Has anyone come forward to say Trump asked them to actually slow testing?

edit: I DO think his comment about slowing down testing was a joke, and I thought it was funny in a dark way. However, instead of saying "I dont kid" (which I think was made to troll the left) he shouldve said "Of course I was kidding". That was moronic to say.
OMG! You're one of those people!! Stop it dude you're embarrassing yourself.

BTW - Did you know he is cancelling financial support for COVID testing in some states

Care to change that answer?

It is amazing that at this point Trump has so little credibility that conservatives are now demanding we prove Trump’s own statements about his actions are true, and they are doing this while DEFENDING HIM.
Trump is so smart that all statements he makes exist in a superposition of being both true and false at the same time and we can only know which form any given statement will take after the reality it creates collapses into a definitive state, but even then it might re-emerge to a superpositionality state at any time.
He is the only person in history to master the art of honestly joking, where one can be just kidding about things they really mean.

Didn’t realize it required to be answered

It doesn’t matter, the President said he wants to slow down testing because that will show fewer infections and he said he wasn’t kidding.
That’s it there is nothing else to understand.

No blackangst wants an answer that he can twist it into a narrative that supports his admiration of Trump. Any other answer will just make him repeat himself until he gets the desired result.

As previously said, even if he didn’t that means he’s repeatedly lied to the country about attempting to inhibit the government’s ability to battle a deadly pandemic disease.

I really do wish you guys would pick a side between ‘he’s a straight shooter who does what he says’ and ‘nothing he says can be believed’.

I know most believe nothing he says, so why cherry pick this and say he was serious?

Again, Ill say it again. He shouldnt have said it. But nothing suggests he was serious. So no. In this case, I dont believe him.

No, I just want an answer. Nothing at least as of now, suggests he was serious.

We like him because he tells it like it is. Oh, he said something bad? He wasn't serious it was a joke everyone should know that. Oh, he said he was serious? Well fuck you libtards.

Seriously, the shtick you just tried is pathetic.

Uhh...how about Trump himself saying that he wasn't kidding?

Trump said Tuesday that he doesn’t “kid” when asked whether he was joking when he said at a campaign rally that he asked aides to slow down coronavirus testing.

“I don’t kid,” Trump said

I have stated many, many, times NO. He needs to keep his mouth shut and stay off Twitter. Even a couple of posts ago I said "he shouldnt said it". If you interprate it any other way thats your problem.

Since when is the presidents word on the matter not good enough?
Has the president directly denied he said what he said?

President Donald Trump now says that he was not kidding when he told rallygoers over the weekend that he asked staff to slow down coronavirus testing, undercutting senior members of his own administration who said the comment was made in jest.
“I don’t kid, let me just tell you, let me make it clear,” Trump told a reporter on Monday, when asked again if he was kidding when he said Saturday he instructed his administration to slow down coronavirus testing.
The President then sought to highlight the US coronavirus testing numbers and asserted that “by having more tests, we have more cases.”

No, this was just a general question. I'm trying for my life to understand Trump's political strategy in this. He thinks this makes him look stronger? That he makes a decision and sticks with it? I'm just not getting why he just doesn't move on. He must feel very insulted. What else motivates the man.
Dog whistle stuff for deplorables?

It's his ego, not wanting to back down from something he said before. He can't help himself. His ego always supersedes any notion of "political strategy." If he had any sense of political strategy, he would never have bragged over the size of his junk just because Marco Rubio said he had tiny hands.

Which is why I keep saying that they need to start a rumor in social media that Trump has a micropenis. It will cause him to spend the last 4 weeks before election day talking about his ginormous slong and nothing else.

Yea. Dude was kidding.


Despite White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany claiming Trump was being sarcastic in saying “I don’t kid,” it seems his Tulsa remark has become manifest, as the White House is planning to end federal funding for 13 coronavirus testing sites across five states on June 30.
The sites, down from 41 originally put in place to speed up testing at the local level, include seven in hard-hit Texas, where cases are currently surging, as well as two in Illinois and New Jersey and one in Colorado and Pennsylvania each
