President Trump called the nation’s top disease doctor “wrong” in a tweet on Saturday and again misleadingly claimed the U.S. has “more cases because we have tested far more than any other country.”
After Dr. Anthony Fauci testified to Congress on Friday that the U.S. has continued to experience a surge in cases — while Europe has better tamed its outbreak — because the U.S. never completely shut down, President Trump called the nation’s top disease doctor “wrong” in a tweet on Saturday, again misleadingly claiming the U.S. has “more cases because we have tested far more than any other country.”...
Marine One departure from the South Lawn of the White House July 31, 2020 in Washington, DC. President Trump is travelling to Florida to attend campaign events and a COVID-19 response and storm preparedness roundtable. Trump replied to a video of Fauci testifying in front of Congress on Friday: During the testimony, Fauci was asked why Europe has been able to tame its outbreak, while the United States has continued to see a dramatic increase in cases.
Fauci explained that Europe shut down 95% of its economy when the virus first spread while the U.S. “functionally” only closed about 50%. Trump claimed Fauci was “wrong,” and repeated a misleading talking point that the surge in cases in the U.S. is due to increased testing.
