The more I think about it, this press conference has been mostly flash, no substance. Which is better than his Oval Office address. Unless I missed a timeline on expanded testing. The website could be helpful, unless there is still a high standard to meet to get directed to a testing facility which just further puts us behind on identifying infected/potential spread.

Didn't he say it would expand start of next week?

I would assume the site will ask if you have a fever and other symptoms and if so it will direct you to a drive through test site near you.

Trump to Pence: "Mike, did you just fart?"
Pence: "No, Mr. President--did you want me to?"

Here we go... swine flu on deck... this has already been shown to be a false flag and does not stand up to fact check.

@mkraju
“I don’t take responsibility at all,” Trump says when asked about the lack of testing availability across the country. He doesn’t specify when every American who needs a test can get one. He then pivots to swine flu and criticizes the past administration for “a very big failure”

Sure. Problem is it is still a month and a half too late.

Man Trump is awful. He claims he didn't know they disbanded the pandemic group. Things happen in administrations. He doesn't know!

Outside of a time machine I don't know what else you can do.

I dislike Trump as much as the next person but I can recognize that a lot of what was said sounds good in theory based off of where we are now. Yes it could have been better but if this levels off the cases like Fauci is saying it will then it is the best thing we can do.

On to attacking and belittling and/or dismissing reporters.

The fact they are keeping Social Security offices open blows my mind. This decision will lead to many unnecessary fatalities.

Don't know the guy with COVID-19 that he had his picture taken with so he's all good. Then said that it really is not that bad (to have COVID).

They dump out people's mics to cut them off. Don't know if I've seen that before.

Can we stop electing 70+ year old people as President. The mental capacity just isn't there to run a country at that age.
