Hypocrite Trump Now Requires People Around Him To Wear Masks


Trump has refused to wear a mask or follow virus guidelines, but he now requires those in close contact with him to wear face coverings.

The White House rolled out new requirements after Stephen Miller’s wife, and Pence staffer, Katie Miller, tested positive for coronavirus:

Trump has refused to wear a mask to keep others safe because he thinks it will look bad on TV and make him look ridiculous. The President also put these procedures in place as he is trying to force states to reopen their economies without restrictions as he has blocked the release of detailed CDC guidelines for safely reopening the country.

Donald Trump doesn’t care if the American people get sick and die by the hundreds of thousands. His only concern is that he doesn’t get the virus.

The hypocrite president is telling you to get sick while he takes extra precautions to stay safe.

I look at the WH as I do a cruise ship. Lot's of people in close quarters. Now that the virus is present in the WH - it's just a matter of time that it spreads - just like on a ship.

I wonder if he'll let the ship come into a U.S. port? (sarcasm)

The one that should be wearing a mask, won't. It figures.

Their are more benefits than he realizes, but the joke would be on him.

First we can only see his dilated pupils and creature-covered head protrusion. Second, we don't have to look at a mouth that is actually a prolapsed anus. Third, hey, bandits ripping you off should wear masks, even if it is just for the effect.

I think I ended-up figuring out the many reasons he won't wear one, as well as the smudging of the spray tan and maybe the smell of his own putrid breath.

It seems nobody can tell the naked Emperor that he ALREADY LOOKS RIDICULOUS! I have seen far more attractive clowns than him and some ghouls in monster movies are actually handsome in a side-by-side comparison.

. . . my scarf, hat or puffy winter coat during cold weather because I thought it made me look ridiculous.

But that was when I was five-years-old. And I remember how miserable I felt with a cold nose, ears and face.

I'm a grown man now. I don't do that anymore.
