While President Donald Trump tosses masks to supporters at his rallies, Secret Service agents protecting him at those campaign events are often not wearing them.

Secret Service policy is that agents are required to wear masks, sources tell ABC News, but agents on the president's detail don't always follow it.

An ABC News review of video and photographs of the president's Secret Service detail from before his COVID-19 diagnosis shows agents closest to the president frequently not wearing masks, going against Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.

Since the start of the pandemic, agents on Trump's detail accompanying him to various rallies and events both inside and outside were almost always seen not wearing masks, apparently in deference to a president who routinely criticized those wearing them.

1. Isn't safety their only business?

2. Only themselves to blame then

Though he probably tells them not to wear them

5. If I live to be 120 I will never understand the hold he has on people.

How does he get seemingly reasonable, intelligent people to so consistently, and flagrantly act against their own self interest? Why can no one tell this guy no?

I'm honestly baffled that anyone can look at this obvious wreck of a human being and act "in deference" to him.

6. If you ever do figure it out
