"I'm trying to figure out how we're triaging the supplies that we have," South Dakota GOP Gov. Noem tells POTUS on a conf call w/ governors. She says she's been asking for more test supplies to no avail.
Trump cuts her off to say "there is tremendous supply."
"Alright, Kristi. Alright," Trump says to South Dakota's Gov. Noem, after she says she needs more testing resources and wants to raise another issue w/ him.

As the teleconference with Governors passed the hour mark, Pres Trump seemed to get impatient.

He's riding by the seat of his pants and looking for others to blame for his inadequacies.

He needs to shift the blame away from himself.

Is he innumerate as well as illiterate (yeah, dumb question)? And what about the rest of the test kit components?
For comparison, about 7 million people are now in lockdown just around the CA Bay Area: and this isn't the most populous part of California. A quarter million swabs won't even cover one county here.
