.MaddowBlog: Trump points to imagined 'manuals' to argue against virus tests
TRUMP: Read the books. Read the books.In reality, of course, there are no books or manuals that argue there's such a thing as excessive viral testing during a pandemic. The very idea is bonkers: widespread testing is part of any comprehensive solution.
What makes this notable is not Trump's willingness to point to manuals and books that exist only in his imagination, but rather, his ongoing efforts to undermine public confidence in the importance of testing. Indeed, the president has made the transition from calling on officials to"slow down" the pace of testing to arguing that mysterious authors he can't identify believe"you can test too much.
There's no word yet as to whether Trump has warned his own team about the hazards of excessive testing.
