President Donald Trump responded to criticism of his comments at Saturday’s Tulsa rally about asking officials to ease back on COVID-19 testing because an increase in testing leads to an increase in cases.

Trump apparently joked to a crowd that he'll direct “my people” to curb testing while touting the White House’s response to the crisis caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, or novel coronavirus. He said that as the United States has increased the number of tests, a higher number of cases are being reported.
