Trump is an idiot, it's pretty clear every time he opens his mouth, but after watching his interview where he says "i don't kid," if you keep watching, listening to him made me think he was saying he was serious about more testing = more positive cases and that's just how it's going to be.  Fauci noted that the task force had not been asked to slow testing.  I, personally, think he was saying it in jest and then him saying "I don't kid" is just Trump being a dweeb with this typical "tough guy" attitude that he has to reporters when they ask him tough questions.
