21 passengers on a cruise ship were positive for Covid-19. Trump did not want them to be allowed to come home because those 21 people would have been added to the total number of US cases.
Just like an incompetent DA who does not want to try a difficult murder case because it would affect his conviction rate.
That's how unbelievably cold-hearted this guy is. Even though there had just been a cruise ship where the passengers were forced to stay on board and the virus spread like a wildfire.
If everyone was forced to stay on this second cruise ship, many more hundreds would have been infected and some would die. Just so Trump could brag we don't have that many infections in the US.
This is exactly what he said when asked if he wanted the passengers brought home: “I like the numbers being where they are. I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault."
This guy is seriously sick in the head.
Anyway, I mention all this to illustrate where TrumpLogic™ takes you. Don't be in a hurry to test Americans because "I like the numbers being where they are."
Trump's mindset was given away also by the fact he was wearing a campaign hat while at the CDC.
Got to keep those numbers artificially low for the election!
Hmmm, let's see, you complain that Trump hasn't provided enough tests, then you complain Trump won't let in infected folks....wow, doesn't that sound like some typical liberal logic. Perhaps you should open your doors to those on the cruise, ya know, because you're such a warm and friendly guy...dumbass.
