Some time travel: back on April 9, 2020, when the US passed 14,000 dead, the model used by the White House actually lowered it's forecast of potential deaths by the end of August, from 82,000 down to 60,415, and people rejoiced.
Of course, President Trump kept making his own predictions, such as on May 1st, in which he expressed a hope that the total death count (no time limit) would remain below 100,000:
It is hard, at times, to be optimistic. However, I am rather confident that by then we may have, if not a vaccine, at least viable treatments. Recall, a vaccine has never been found for the HIV virus, but it is well treated with the 'cocktail' of medications.

Can you show me where it says that the POTUS is responsible for testing and imposing distancing rules?
Last I knew, that was the department of health and the county health commissioner's responsibility.

Maybe you should stop at the high school you attended first and ask them why they didn't educate you in Civics?
