If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases

"Let me tell you, folks, we’re going to beat this recession—big time. People say, 'Mr. Trump, how are you going to do it?' I say, 'Because I’m Trump!' Nobody knows recessions better than me. I’ve stared down bankruptcies, bad deals, terrible economies—and I always come out winning. It’s what I do!

Other people? They have no clue. Sleepy economists, crooked policymakers—total disasters. They talk, they yap, they write reports. I fix. I build. I make deals so good the economy starts apologizing for slowing down!

We’re not going to have a V-shaped recovery. We’re going to have a TRUMP-shaped recovery. It’s going to be so strong, so powerful, your wallets are going to get tired of being full. You'll be like, 'Please, Mr. President, I can’t handle this much prosperity!' And I’ll say, 'Too bad, it’s happening!'

So buckle up, America. Recession? We’re going to crush it. Nobody else can do it, folks. Just me. Believe me."

I heard Russia, Iran, China and north-korea also follow this trend, great thinking of the boss.

Huh? The countries listed are all dictatorships. The point was about dictatorships.

Predictably, executive leadership has taken an official stance of sticking fingers in their ears and going "LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU."
