"President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trumpgreeted a group of Girl Scouts at the White House on Friday afternoon during a pandemic response event and neither one of them wore protective face masks.
It was business as usual for the couple as they flouted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommendations to social distance and wear facial coverings to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.
The Trumps were holding hands when they arrived at the Rose Garden for the presidential recognition ceremony, where the president handed certificates to individual Girls Scouts and posed just inches away from them for photos.
......
The event was held to recognize and honor those who have helped with the pandemic response, and while the girls were wearing face masks, some of the adult attendees did not. "...(more)

They are today too.

(23,356 posts)A few months ago, a casual Facebook friend of mine, a national-echelon guy with the Boy Scouts and ardent GOPher, posted a picture & article on FB about Melania meeting with a group of Boy Scouts on some camping trip, telling how wonderful it was that they got to meet her. He excoriated me when I replied back that it was their first encounter with a stripper......We haven't communicated much since.....

I don't know how to post the Saddam Hussein photo with the British kid, but man...it is eerily similar to this.

Liberal group. Children of Liberals and we were already little activists ourselves.
That piece of paper wasn't worth it. It is never an honor to be showcased by Trump. And make no mistake, Trump is putting on a show with those young girls as tertiary players to his starring role.
It's him, his ego, and everyone else.
They are nothing but props in his "Look at me" narrative.

He once remarked about a young girl going up an escalator that he would be dating her in 10 years.
Men who talk like that about young girls aren't being complimentary. They're being creepy. They're being gross.
They sound like predators.
As Liberals, our troop leaders would have never put young girls in that position. And, emphatically NO - I couldn't say that conservatives would see it the same way.
