Trump has completely painted himself into a corner with his no-mask-on-me policy.

[Girard442]

If he starts wearing one now, it's an admission that things are worse. If he doesn't while all his staff do, it's a pretty open admission that he doesn't care about their safety. And if nobody does, it's a signal that they're going to Thelma-and-Louise the whole administration right into the canyon.

1. pathetic pence vacillating between no mask, to self quarantine, to social distance.

Seems super sensitive to trump's latest fart vapors on the subject.

[irisblue]

2. .

Tough.

3. or he will skate and the cultists will crow about it.

It being in the WH does not mean he will be infected or if infected he will be sick.

As much as I would like to see the Pig on the short end of karma...he has too many resources, doctors and handlers to dodge this bug.

If he has a mild bout they will cover it up. He will have to be deathly ill or dead for it to see the light of day.

I don't care if he is fat and at risk the Pig is lucky on top of all that.

4. "Thelma and Louise" is a great analogy! ('cept they were likable) nt

5. It's past time for Donnie's stupidity and hubris to be his downfall

It’s right and just and natural.

[OrlandoDem2]

6. This doesn't matter to the cultists. I had one tell me today that he's happy that Trump is promoting

normalcy instead of pandemic pandemonium.

To bubba sitting in front of the TV, Trump will appear strong for not wearing one if Biden does wear one.

It’s the 6% of undecideds who matter.

47% will definitely vote for Trump.
47% will definitely vote for Biden.

How does the other 6% vote?

And if it’s that close, and it will be, then we must have laser like precision analytics in order to get back the 78K votes they cost us the Blue Wall in 2016. I think we take PA and MI. I’m not convinced of WI. That means we must also flip some combo of AZ, FL, IA, and NC.

10. Definitely you say?

I don't see it your way. Trump may get 40% if he is lucky. Those who gave him a chance know what an asshole he is now. He is toast .

[OrlandoDem2]

13. I am surrounded by cultists. Maybe things are different in other swing states.

Perhaps college-educated women, and even working class women, will continue to trend away from Trump.

Trump is, however, a polarizing figure who is talented at motivating the pole that supports him.

[Cosmocat]

22. 95% agreed

20. Election will not be even close, it'll be a landslide in favor Democrats! Up & down the ballets IMHO

[pwb]

7. They cant defend so many lies.

They were good at defending a few lies all along but Trumps lies are too much. They are screwed.

[Miguelito Loveless]

8. He will NEVER wear a mask

Someone as much in love with his own reflection is not going to don a mask. Also, he considers it a sign of weakness.

[Javaman]

21. plus it will ruin his spray on orange. nt

[malaise]

9. Like this?

11. Plus tRump probably thinks "real men" don't wear masks. ... or feels that's what some of his

followers think. ... that a mask makes him weak and ineffective. Good luck with that ...

[NoRoadUntravelled]

12. It's really sad that policy and procedures waver daily on the whim of a

severely mentally unstable and dangerously incompetent liar. What good can come of this?

[Progressive dog]

14. Trump'll just deny that he ever refused to wear a mask.

His staff will continue to support him.
They want to let covid19 wash over the population. Not one of them publically contradicted Trump on his virus treatment suggestions of using disinfectants and UV light internally. They are cultists, and cultists don't use resason.

[lettucebe]

15. I think they'll just sell branded masks to own the libs

That'll show em!

[Cosmocat]

23. Already saw this on my FB feed

locals playing the victim for 45 taking orders of 45 facemasks to own us libs.

[FakeNoose]

16. My prediction: even after Chump himself is infected...

... he will refuse to wear a mask. He'll make everyone else around him DEAL with it!

[niyad]

17. Frankly, I hope has painted himself into a entilator. Him and the entire political circle of

Sycophantic, murder-loving thugs around him.

[Silver1]

18. How can he wear a mask? His tan would rub off!!

No can do!

[liberalla]

19. I'm OK with the Thelma and Louise scenario.

Turn the music up, clasp hands and floor it, baby!

[patphil]

24. He's going to screw around with this until staff members, and possibly he himself,

end up in a hospital.
I really don't want to see some of his people wearing a mask with a tube coming out of it.

It's unfortunate that Trump's ego "trumps" his capacity for rational thought.

[Roc2020]

25. he can't wear a mask now

and if someone in the white house gets really sick Trump will look worse than when he suggested injecting disinfectant will kill the virus. at this point he is fighting against a landslide loss.

[tclambert]

26. Thelma-and-Louise is a verb now?

My son said, "You can verb anything."
