He says:
The only reason the U.S. has reported one million cases of CoronaVirus is that our Testing is sooo much better than any other country in the World. Other countries are way behind us in Testing, and therefore show far fewer cases!
People who give credence to or care about the soundbite that is twitter are out of their mind.

Other countries are way behind us in number of tests, but that's not what he said.

He said "testing" which isn't as specific as number of tests, and could have a number of meanings assigned to it.

The rest of the sentence implies that he meant number of tests, but he still didn't actually say number of tests.

Even assuming he meant number of tests, why is he championing that ?

It's a meaningless statement.

Have his handlers not explained per capita to him ?

Why does criticism of Trump effect your day (it obviously upsets you, else you would have ignored this thread) ?

He's not your father, brother, grandfather, cousin, uncle, nor close friend.

He's a politician. Why do you care if people criticize him ?

No, it isn't. Other countries have tested a much larger percentage of their populations, and they have a much better idea of where they stand. Testing a million people here is 1/330th of the population, roughly. The same number of tests would be enough to test the entire population of Iceland almost three times over. Bragging that we have tested more people than much smaller countries is political spin to cover up what a disaster that the national response has been.

I work in health care, so I am on the front lines of this.
