Trump Tweets Out Video Playing Catch With Kids on White House Lawn Where No One Wears Masks or Follo

Just two hours after urging all American to practice social distancing and wear masks, President Donald Trump tweeted out a video of himself playing catch with more than a dozen Little Leaguers at the White House on MLB’s Opening Day, where no one was wearing masks or following social distancing rules.
During his Thursday evening White House briefing, Trump had urged the country to follow public health best practices to help stop the spread of the coronavirus and re-open schools later this summer. Previously, on Monday, Trump publicly called the wearing of masks “patriotic” when “you can’t socially distance.” The president’s about-face, after months of dismissing masks and refusing to wear one in public, was hailed as a sea change in his approach to the pandemic.
