Trump says some Americans wear coronavirus masks 'to signal disapproval of him'

President Donald Trump said some Americans might wear face masks not as a way to prevent the spread of coronavirus but as a way to "signal disapproval of him."

In a wide-ranging interview with the Wall Street Journal that published Thursday, Trump also said a big issue he has with masks is that people fidget with them.

"They put their finger on the mask, and they take them off, and then they start touching their eyes and touching their nose and their mouth," he told the Journal. "And then they don't know how they caught it?"

Trump has often been seen without a mask despite recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization that people wear them as a way to slow the spread of the virus. Scientists say the virus can spread through respiratory droplets that pass when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Studies suggest the masks may serve as a helpful barrier.

25. Trump has often been seen without a mask

I hate this type of fucking reporting.

He's been seen ONCE with a mask which he got caught briefly wearing. All he talks about is NOT WEARING A MASK.

[rogue emissary]

26. He's seriously trying to kill his supporters.

Framing wearing a mask as anti-Donnie. Which means not wearing one is pro-Donnie. He going to kill more of his supporters.

[Paladin]

27. I've got better reasons for wearing a mask than boosting trump's ego.

Christ, what a stupid, pathetic, diseased, hollow husk of a man. He's siphoned off and perverted everything that once made this nation great. God damn him and the rest of his crime family to hell.

[pazzyanne]

28. No matter what, it is always about the donald, in his own mind.

[Hip2bSquare]

33. I got a clear signal for him

I got a middle finger signal so he'll know for sure.

[BigmanPigman]

34. I wonder why? My mask with a red slash through his name

in a red circle isn't political at all. ,

Besides, I used big, fat red and black Sharpies to write/draw my message so he should be honored to be copied.

[yaesu]

35. this is another dangerous an impeachable statement. nt

[Zorro]

36. Mojo Nixon signals his disapproval of Trump this way

My mask is just there to protect people from COVID.

It's available on this website.

[CRK7376]

39. What a Jackass!!!

My wife and I wear ours to protect others and ourselves. Now if that makes you, the orange turd, think we hate your spineless guts, you would be absolutely correct. Because not only will it make you stupid in the eyes of the rest of the world it proves yet again what a miserable COWARD you are. Just go back to your bunker and stay there until January 2021 when you will no longer be anything other than "President Failure"!!!!!

[kskiska]

41. Would he allow a surgeon to operate

on him without a mask? How about a dentist without a mask and rubber gloves?

[keithbvadu2]

42. Pence?

?quality=90&auto=webp

[eppur_se_muova]

45. Dude ... You flatter yourself. We don't consider you worth the trouble. nt

[TomCADem]

49. Yet, Watch the Reopen/Anti-Mask Protests

Trump's supporters are taking Trump's statements to hear and refusing to wear masks in order to demonstrate the loyalty that he demands.

[Stuart G]

46. This is as ..."as stupid"....as it comes...or as "stupid as anything Trump has ever said"

I myself is in charge of ...."stupid things that get said"....cause I say & write some stupid things..


But nothing Trump has said, is as stupid, self centered as this.
The stupid police will be out to track this one down...?

[Politicub]

47. I don't think of Trump when I put on my mask. I think

about protecting the ones I love by protecting myself.

This is such a strange article. I knew that the republicans were making mask wearing a partisan issue, but now they’re treating masks as a symbol of disapproval of Trump?

What a trashy narcissist.

[duforsure]

48. That's really funny from him now

His medical experts including Dr Fauci have told us t helps prevent the spread of this still very active and deadly virus . So trumps saying don't wear a mask, help spread this virus for me, because that's exactly what he's doing . He wants you to risk yours and everyone around you and family and friends lives for his political gathering , which his medical experts were completely against, but he didn't listen to them. REALLY! You got to be kidding right. You want to risk your life to see and hear him lie to you like this?

[CRK7376]

50. I think that's called

1st Amendment, Freedom of Speech, Assembly and Protest, you dumb ass!!!
