Trump Claims Virus Testing Is 'Overrated' As He Refuses To Wear Face Mask During Visit To Mask Supplier

Trump Claims Virus Testing Is 'Overrated' As He Refuses To Wear Face Mask During Visit To Mask Supplier

Over 80 thousand Americans are dead and millions more are unemployed from the virus that's upended daily life in the United States.

People are understandably eager to get back to work and to some semblance of normal, but only a few are willing to sacrifice their safety to do so—or, rather, the safety of others.


President Donald Trump is apparently one of those people.

Eager to revive the Obama-era economic stability he touted in favor of his reelection, Trump has repeatedly called for local leaders to scale back stay-at-home measures and get businesses open again. He claims that the hesitation to do so isn't based in science, but is actually a conspiracy from Democrats willing to destroy lives to better their chances at reelection.

Health experts have repeatedly said that there's no way to safely return to normal without a national testing apparatus that can glean an accurate count of the infection rate in the United States and the pathways to stop the spread.

Continuing his decades-long opposition to the truth, the President subsequently railed against adequate testing while appearing at the medical supply company Owens & Minor in a visit that he tried to turn into a makeshift campaign rally.

Watch below.

The President said:

"So we have the best testing in the world. Could be that testing's frankly overrated. Maybe it is overrated...they always say 'we want more, we want more' and they don't wanna give you credit."

Despite multiple people in his orbit testing positive for the virus, the President still refuses to wear a mask in public.

It was par for the course of Trump's ineptitude to call for reopening while dismissing the key to a safe return to normal.




Trump may tell the public that testing is overrated, but it hasn't stopped him from making sure he gets tested every day.



Unbelievable.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.

People Describe The Worst 'Bonus' They've Ever Gotten At Work

Most of us have worked at one problematic workplace, with reasons ranging from toxic coworkers to terrible bosses to unlivable pay. Sometimes, it feels like a joke that the employees are even being paid at all!

But the biggest joke of all might be the end-of-year bonus, or lack thereof. They're at times so laughable, they take the cake for horrible work conditions, or are quite literally, a slice of cake.
