Meyers: If Trump Truly Believed Covid Tests Were ‘Overrated,’ He Would’ve Said it to Putin

Meyers And by the ░░░░░░░░ not only was Trump ░░░░░░░░ desperately needed Covid tests ░░░░░░░░ a corrupt Russian dictator ░░░░░░░░ of his own American ░░░░░░░░ he was also simultaneously ░░░░░░░░ that Americans actually don ░░░░░░░░ need testing at all ░░░░░░░░ starts Trump I have ░░░░░░░░ said testing is somewhat ░░░░░░░░ because what happens after ░░░░░░░░ takes a test What ░░░░░░░░ going on there I ░░░░░░░░ t think you need ░░░░░░░░ kind of testing and ░░░░░░░░ much testing It could ░░░░░░░░ the testing s frankly ░░░░░░░░ overrated Maybe it is ░░░░░░░░ But whenever they start ░░░░░░░░ We want more we ░░░░░░░░ more you know they ░░░░░░░░ say We want more ░░░░░░░░ want more because they ░░░░░░░░ t want to give ░░░░░░░░ credit Then we do ░░░░░░░░ and they say We ░░░░░░░░ more Clip ends Meyers ░░░░░░░░ it s like he ░░░░░░░░ to be president every ░░░░░░░░ Laughter Sounds like a ░░░░░░░░ who buys a houseplant ░░░░░░░░ it once and wonders ░░░░░░░░ it died They were ░░░░░░░░ We want more because ░░░░░░░░ virus kept spreading They ░░░░░░░░ more tests because people ░░░░░░░░ getting sick It wasn ░░░░░░░░ like they were saying ░░░░░░░░ want more of the ░░░░░░░░ trading cards where you ░░░░░░░░ wearing a cape Also ░░░░░░░░ make one hell of ░░░░░░░░ superhero Superman the runaway ░░░░░░░░ is heading for the ░░░░░░░░ plant Be that as ░░░░░░░░ may my friend Vlad ░░░░░░░░ a head cold so ░░░░░░░░ m going on a ░░░░░░░░ run Up up and ░░░░░░░░ yours Also can we ░░░░░░░░ back to this Clip ░░░░░░░░ Trump I have always ░░░░░░░░ testing is somewhat overrated ░░░░░░░░ what happens after somebody ░░░░░░░░ a test What s ░░░░░░░░ on there Clip ends ░░░░░░░░ What do you mean ░░░░░░░░ s going on there ░░░░░░░░ s not some big ░░░░░░░░ Columbo People were quarantining ░░░░░░░░ tracing seeking medical care ░░░░░░░░ know you weren t ░░░░░░░░ that since you were ░░░░░░░░ a Typhoid Gary who ░░░░░░░░ hold superspreader events at ░░░░░░░░ White House and then ░░░░░░░░ you yourself got Covid ░░░░░░░░ a joyride in an ░░░░░░░░ like you were an ░░░░░░░░ brand pope Also that ░░░░░░░░ we just played where ░░░░░░░░ said testing is overrated ░░░░░░░░ was May 7th 2020 ░░░░░░░░ The New York Times ░░░░░░░░ that Trump discussed sending ░░░░░░░░ tests to Putin in ░░░░░░░░ May 7th telephone call ░░░░░░░░ that means Trump was ░░░░░░░░ Americans that Covid testing ░░░░░░░░ overrated on the exact ░░░░░░░░ day he was telling ░░░░░░░░ Putin he was sending ░░░░░░░░ his best Covid tests ░░░░░░░░ bleep Glengarry Covid tests ░░░░░░░░ this point I wouldn ░░░░░░░░ be surprised if he ░░░░░░░░ said this to both ░░░░░░░░ Clip starts Trump My ░░░░░░░░ is loyal only to ░░░░░░░░ American people My heart ░░░░░░░░ loyal only to Vladimir ░░░░░░░░ Clip ends Meyers In ░░░░░░░░ at one point again ░░░░░░░░ he was secretly sending ░░░░░░░░ tests to Putin Trump ░░░░░░░░ planning on cutting back ░░░░░░░░ for Americans because he ░░░░░░░░ obsessed with the fact ░░░░░░░░ more tests would reveal ░░░░░░░░ cases which he thought ░░░░░░░░ him look bad Clip ░░░░░░░░ Reporter There s a ░░░░░░░░ plan at the White ░░░░░░░░ for how to deal ░░░░░░░░ Coronavirus testing at the ░░░░░░░░ level in states across ░░░░░░░░ country Geoff Bennett reporting ░░░░░░░░ the Trump Administration is ░░░░░░░░ to end its funding ░░░░░░░░ support for Coronavirus testing ░░░░░░░░ at the end of ░░░░░░░░ month McENANY The notion ░░░░░░░░ everyone needs to be ░░░░░░░░ is just simply nonsensical ░░░░░░░░ If you don t ░░░░░░░░ you don t have ░░░░░░░░ cases If we stop ░░░░░░░░ right now we d ░░░░░░░░ very few cases if ░░░░░░░░ By having more tests ░░░░░░░░ find more cases Therefore ░░░░░░░░ test we re going ░░░░░░░░ have more cases By ░░░░░░░░ more cases it sounds ░░░░░░░░ We have more cases ░░░░░░░░ anybody in the world ░░░░░░░░ why Because we do ░░░░░░░░ testing When you test ░░░░░░░░ have a case When ░░░░░░░░ test you find something ░░░░░░░░ wrong with people If ░░░░░░░░ didn t do any ░░░░░░░░ we would have very ░░░░░░░░ cases We test more ░░░░░░░░ anybody by far And ░░░░░░░░ you test you create ░░░░░░░░ So we ve created ░░░░░░░░ Clip ends Meyers No ░░░░░░░░ s not how it ░░░░░░░░ Laughter Tests don t ░░░░░░░░ cases just like smoke ░░░░░░░░ don t create fires ░░░░░░░░ fire department never shows ░░░░░░░░ to a burning building ░░░░░░░░ says All right first ░░░░░░░░ first Take out those ░░░░░░░░ alarms Boom No more ░░░░░░░░ Then boom we take ░░░░░░░░ shirts off and instead ░░░░░░░░ focusing on the fire ░░░░░░░░ everyone s looking at ░░░░░░░░ six pack abs chanting ░░░░░░░░ starts Trump We want ░░░░░░░░ we want more Clip ░░░░░░░░ Meyers So now we ░░░░░░░░ that Trump knew testing ░░░░░░░░ important He knew it ░░░░░░░░ as he was lying ░░░░░░░░ the American people about ░░░░░░░░ because he was sending ░░░░░░░░ tests to Putin at ░░░░░░░░ same time If Trump ░░░░░░░░ believed testing was overrated ░░░░░░░░ he would have said ░░░░░░░░ same thing to Putin ░░░░░░░░ that phone call but ░░░░░░░░ didn t And if ░░░░░░░░ did I think even ░░░░░░░░ would have been like ░░░░░░░░ guy s a bleep ░░░░░░░░ He smile when I ░░░░░░░░ him soccer ball like ░░░░░░░░ He probably probably think ░░░░░░░░ bowling ball Where are ░░░░░░░░ holes he say I ░░░░░░░░ him send me free ░░░░░░░░ You don t have ░░░░░░░░ think Trump is some ░░░░░░░░ of secret Kremlin agent ░░░░░░░░ that he colluded with ░░░░░░░░ or that he s ░░░░░░░░ controlled by Putin This ░░░░░░░░ is not about that ░░░░░░░░ story is simple When ░░░░░░░░ chips are down and ░░░░░░░░ has a choice between ░░░░░░░░ Americans and helping his ░░░░░░░░ powerful friends he s ░░░░░░░░ going to turn to ░░░░░░░░ wealthy powerful friends and ░░░░░░░░ Clip starts Trump My ░░░░░░░░ loyalty is to you ░░░░░░░░ ends Meyers This has ░░░░░░░░ A Closer Look.’”
