Donald Trump has repeatedly ignored rules aimed at curbing the coronavirus pandemic.

On Wednesday, tapes made public by journalist Bob Woodward of interviews he conducted with Donald Trump revealed that Trump has known how deadly the coronavirus is since February.

But a review of his public appearances and campaign events since that time shows that he has repeatedly ignored safety rules — even in states and localities where authorities have instituted such safety requirements aimed at curbing the pandemic.

"You just breathe the air and that's how it's passed," Trump said in a Feb. 7 interview for Woodward's upcoming book, "Rage." "And so that's a very tricky one. That's a very delicate one. It's also more deadly than even your strenuous flus."

Since April, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been urging Americans to wear face masks in public and maintain social distancing to avoid spreading the virus. Trump has taken many contradictory positions on masks, saying both that "many people say that it is Patriotic to wear a face mask when you can't socially distance" and that masks are a "double-edged sword" and are being used by people to show their disapproval of him personally.
