Trump eschews face covering, ignoring Rubio urging that everyone 'wear a damn mask'
Source: ABC News
President Donald Trump continued this week to eschew wearing face coverings even as he traveled to states where the coronavirus was spreading apace and as a Republican senator and GOP governors joined health experts in pushing for their use as the crisis worsened.
His continued opposition to wearing a mask came as an ABC News/Ipsos poll found an overwhelming majority of Americans said they had worn a face mask in public in the last week.
The president taped a town hall-style interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday afternoon at an airplane hangar in Green Bay, Wisconsin, at which the network required all attendees to wear masks and have their temperature checked upon arrival. Trump was not wearing a mask in a short clip from the town hall that aired Thursday afternoon on Fox News, which hosted the event scheduled to air later in the day.
Earlier Thursday, the president visited the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of that war. He and first lady Melania Trump stood relatively close to elderly veterans and other dignitaries, none wearing a mask, although a White House spokesman told ABC News the veterans had been tested for COVID-19.

It would make a HUGE difference if we simply had a leader who was willing to lead by example and wear a fucking mask. It's not a difficult thing to do. Instead the idiot waddles around like he's too good to wear a mask, and all of his idiot cult follow right along.

(19,199 posts)and still sees a 25 year old stud. He doesn't see the circles around his eyes from his fake tan (or the multiple bags beneath the eyes), he doesn't see the white lines around his temples and forehead where - again - his fake tan ends and his white fish-skin begins, he doesn't see that ridiculous coiled dead mangy animal atop his head, or the dozens of chins where his neck used to be.......he doesn't see any of that, so naturally he thinks he looks ridiculous wearing a mask. If he saw what others see he'd probably walk around in his tighty-whities all day long and never brush his teeth again.
And that's before he even opens his stupid mouth and begins to speak!

(296 posts)not enough and NO GUARANTEE you/everyone are SAFE! During the earliest onset of COVID19, you may not know you have it NOR test POSITIVE....BUT you STILL could be and could be INFECTING OTHERS! Even if a person gets a positive test then quarantines, they still exposed others BEFORE a test was administered. This is why you WEAR A MASK.
