Pressure mounts on Trump to 'set a good example' and wear mask

As the pandemic worsens alarmingly in large parts of the country, pressure from health experts and local officials is mounting for Americans to wear masks or face coverings, and congressional Republicans are telling President Donald Trump he should do the same.

A Fox host he routinely watches said Tuesday he should "set a good example."

It comes as Vice President Mike Pence, facing reporters, claimed the president has been clear in his support of masks, even saying he's worn one in public -- which he has not.

With President Trump ramping up his reelection campaign as the coronavirus rages across the southern United States, GOP Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, who is not running for reelection, warned, "The stakes are too high for this political debate about pro-Trump anti-Trump mask to continue."

Wear a mask so I don't have to look at your ugly face.

Collapses on the floor?

That’s what I picture happening with him if he has to wear one.
