President Donald Trump listens as Dr. Deborah Birx, White House coronavirus response coordinator, speaks during a meeting in the Oval Office of the White House, April 28, 2020, in Washington.Trump, in remarks on small businesses, says US will hit 5 million tests a day 'very soon' President Donald Trump, with his daughter and Senior Advisor Ivanka Trump, speaks in the East Room of the White House, in Washington, on April 28, 2020. Trump spoke about supporting small businesses during the coronavirus pandemic through the Paycheck Protection Program.

"We will be there very soon. If you look at the numbers, it could be that we are getting close. I don't have the numbers right now. We will be there soon," Trump said. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, appears on "Good Morning America," April 9, 2020.

"The point was made to them [governors] that if, in fact, you still don't have either the test or the material to do it, we will call you up, and we will try and connect you with the pathway to get that," Fauci said."The fact that we have to do that means that what you're hearing is true, in some respects, it isn't perfect yet by any means.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis holds up a photo during a meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, April 28, 2020.Florida Gov. DeSantis says Florida has surpassed testing needs, sitting beside Trump in Oval Office "We definitely have enough supplies and everything, but I think the key is going to be finding pockets that were not testing as much. Obviously, we've got testing everywhere in Miami, because they have the most cases," DeSantis said."So I think this walk up site is going to give us some confidence that we're going into places that may have been overlooked and giving people easy access.

With Florida's state's stay-at-home order set to expire in two days, on April 30, DeSantis said he will have an announcement tomorrow on what he will do with it moving forward.

how about report the facts and not opinions

Would all public health experts ever agree with the feds? Particularly with Trump as president.

Nothing will ever be good enough for some.

You clown as MFers act like there were 365 MILLION Wuhan Virus test kits just lying around the shelves of Rite-Aid.

Like Trump everything falls short!

How many of those fake experts, specialists/critics are registered Democrats ? This whole thing orchestrated/created by the Chinese government, George Soros/global Elites. And assisted by you Trump haters in the news media in this country. Is going to backfire on Election Day !

The very first thing that Mr. Trump should open to show the American people how safe it is should be (the White House tours, & specifically to the Oval Office)so he can set an example for the people he wants to work during this pandemic

What do govenors do?

What happened to the White House 3 step reopening plan from April 16th?

This candidate is just another example that “Everything Trump Touches Dies”. TrumpGenocide

Yes yes this media would have us all believing we will all be dead in days just to hurt Trump

Too little, too late.

TrumpGenocide

When does it ever not fall short with trump?

But he said everyone who wants a test can get one. And he said they’re beautiful... and he said it back in March.

What's new? This shitty reporting of FAKE news from none other than the failed ABC news. No one watches it anymore anyway!

No surprise. Nothing is ever enough. The media’s commitment to moving the goal posts and find something wrong with everything is tiresome.

Trump orders meat and poultry processing plants to stay open during coronavirusTrump, in an executive order, said 'processors of beef, pork, and poultry' need to operate 'to ensure a continued supply of protein for Americans.' I'm not surprised. This was done to try to swing MI into the win column for Biden. I wouldn't be surprised if Jeff Flake did the same in AZ. The DEMS, RINOs and Never Trumpers know the NOV election is a game of inches in battleground states, and will do anything to defeat Trump. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Good order from trump thanks so much
