Trump Claims Masks Are Signal to Show Disapproval

President Trump told the Wall Street Journal that coronavirus testing is “overrated” and claimed that some Americans may be wearing masks to signal disapproval of him — not as a preventative measure.

He added: “I personally think testing is overrated, even though I created the greatest testing machine in history.”

"This is a pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic," Trump said at a press conference with his coronavirus task force. "All you had to do was look at other countries."

The president's comments were in response to being asked if he agreed that his rhetoric surrounding the coronavirus become more reserved on Monday.. Trump disagreed, saying that he always knew the outbreak was "serious."

in this case, it's simply undeniable...

Right......I put on my mask as I'm walking outside to get to my car to go get groceries. Naturally, the FIRST thing I say to myself is: "I'm puttin' on my mask because I DETEST that low-life in D.C"......right......

I’m over 60 years old, I have an A blood-type, and I’d like to avoid contracting a COVID 19. Those are better reasons for wearing a mask than disapproval (And if it was mere disapproval, I’d go for a Guy Fawkes mask instead), but I’m willing to add disapproval of the incumbent to my reasons for wearing a mask.

He has no clue that people are wearing masks simply because they want to protect themselves/others.

He thinks it is all about HIM.

Jeez.
