'I'm not going to do it': Trump rejects his own administration's advice on masks | Coronavirus outbreak | The Guardian

Donald Trump has said his administration is encouraging Americans to wear face masks in public to prevent spreading the coronavirus – but does not intend to wear one himself, despite his own wife’s advice.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Possibly no one around him anyway.

He already has one

We should be applauding the man...it’s the best decision he’s made as president thus far.

Walk carefully Donald! I am an ardent follower but just recently you have been behaving like a jerk.

Ah are we really only now realising that rules don't apply to him. Any rules...

Trump is so uncomfortable as a leader in a crisis,its embarrassing.His friend are idiots for telling him do nothing ,& let corona pass.Trump mix messages on corona,only divides US even more.

Page 2... and get rid of all the useless eaters the duke of edinburgh wished for before he died their are things that are said yr earlier by a duke who is not in good health hoping a virus will wipe out 80% of the world am I paranoid. Did someone give this as a present to him Woo

Why is he meeting foreign dignitaries anyway? We always knew that he was an idiot, but surely others leaders have more sense.

This is airborne infection so 10 yr ago you knew someone who sneezed it could go as far as 18ft not 6ft we have been lied to from the start was this so it could embed in all the ghettoe of the uk who will bear the brunt of deaths why slow to react cos their real aim herd immunity

He talked about kings and queens, dictators and presidents visiting him - are they?

Does anyone really care?

He doesn't need a mask...... Just a gag...

Let’s not wish ill on another human being but at the same time you can have an opinion. The guy is a total buffoon and he could potentially be risking lives with his stand point. Listen to the experts Chicken Head.

It might mess up his hair

Would be an enormous shame if we lost this great president to coronavirus. Anyhoo...

You will do it wait and watch!!

He's been wearing one since birth.

When will guardian go bankrupt and finally leave this planet? Worst than the sun headlines these days....

Welcome to OpDepopulation now in affect... NewWorldOrder has just begun... Many of you unfortunately didn’t believe myself, AlexJones JesseVentura & DeanKoontz... We weren’t prepared for this... but knew this day was coming...

Wouldn't want to smudge the orange makeup. Still look on the bright side it might encourage a touch of natural selection.

I would wear it if i were you, not because of covid , we know you are strong. Wear it so that we won't see your ugly face. Thanks

Future generations will look back at this period of time and scarcely believe that one so ignorant could have been elected the president of USA.

We can only hope!

How narcissistic of him, 'do what I say, not what I do.'

At least he’s advising wearing masks. The CMO’s advice in the uk is putting political expediency over medical evidence...particularly with covid‘s incubation period and asymptomatic spreaders. Probably worth a report Guardian?

Yes realDonaldTrump doesnt need mask. He has done a lot to contain it anyway 🤦🏻‍♀️

Good for him. He’s not of a self coddling generation & it’s healthy septuagenarians who have least patience with the lockdown.

US becoming a country that even realDonaldTrump doesn't wanna become a president soon! Anyone wants to bet he'll walk away before November America, anything but Great Again 👎

What could go wrong ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm good with all the trumps and Ivanka's beard not wearing masks

By pass him. Donate to BStrong and let a Leader with hrsrt and connections who uses 100% of donations get the PPE and distribute it where it is needed, politics completely aside. By pass your President, he can not cope with this.

He is worried that he would not look cool. Perception is very important to bull shitters.

This administration is so crooked and base everything in optics rather than doing the right damn thing.

anti scientific

I'd like to shove about ten used ones covered in tobasco sauce up his...

He is not serious

Jerk

“When I’m talking to dictators...” lol

We live in hope.

Is there a way to filter this asshole out of all news and tweets?

It’s a health advice which is not even necessary compared with WHO guidance. Wearing that mask will add little or no advantage

He also talks about social distance,but every time he is speaking with his task force,he is with about 7-8 people standing shoulder to shoulder.Not leading by example is not a surprise to me at all !

The masks can be a carrier

Presumably he's not doing it because he thinks it might make him look silly. Has anyone mentioned the orange fake tan and the hair to him?

As GUIDANCE on face masks shifted from not effective to effective in preventing the spread, why wouldn't we have a PERSONAL/collective shift/voice in recognizing the mask as empowering/needed for our own/others survival? Why wait 2 have WHO/CDC blessing? PHE_uk johnashton4pcc

How about a gold plated or orange coloured designer mask?

Part of me doesn't wish this disease on anybody, but ..........

It would be so satisfying to see this pathetic human in the prone position gasping for air in the ICU.

Why are you seeing heads of state you should be in shut down as most of us are. Are you better than us? You are jeopardizing all those people and your wife and son. Stop blaming Obama for empty shelves. 3years you have been in office. You were told of a pandemic possibility.

Says the man who looked directly into a solar eclipse!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let Karma visit upon this idiot and his family.

Good. Now go sit next to a very sick patient who has Covid. Trash bag, cloth mask optional. Thanks. There’s a good boy!!

The purpose of the mask is to protect others, not the wearer. So here, the President is declaring his unwillingness to endure even a mild inconvenience in order to prevent other Americans from dying.

This man is the world's greatest idiot. If the US had any sense they would put him on trial. He's no better than some jumped up banana republic dictator who damages his own people. Idi Amin comes to mind. Mad as a hatter. Crazy mindless nut job.

You ever have a don't do as I do, do as I say kind of manager (or an officer)? Weren't they worthless people?

I wish he had. Don‘t want to see his face

A Leader leads by example, always. There are no if’s and but’s. The worst of times bring out the ‘best of things’ in great Leaders. Is the mask off on this one? America decide.

I hope he breathes deep.

That’s fair enough. Would you consider putting your head in a bag?

Why? Don't afraid of mask. You need afraid of corona virus 19. From Continue/ Three families and 17-month-old child after 'corona virus19' patient treatment is completed ... Again, 'corona virus 19' confirmed (in the den of criminal

There isn’t a mask large enough to cover realDonaldTrump’s big mouth.

There goes unhinged Donnie contradicting the experts again. In 2 weeks time we'll hear about how he knew masks were critical long before anyone else did. TrumpVirusCoverup

Does he even leave the White house anymore?

Kinda glad he won’t be wearing one. I mean, if luck is on our side then ...😏

Good. Make it more likely for him to catch it

Good.

Think COVID disappears in warmer weather? Wrong. Louisiana is like Italy right now.

Listen to specialists otherwise regret yourselves

That’s because he contracted TrumpViirus 3 weeks ago.

Give it a rest.

The fascination with a brooding ape slinging feces against the glass...have we truly evolved?

His choice, the guidelines say wear them when you go out to grocery store or out in public.

Trudeau says wearing a mask is racist.

Please God, have mercy and give this man Corona, and spare the rest of humanity

Why? It will save us from having to look at your ugly face.

realDonaldTrump DeathCult

Muzzle instead?

The Americans would be better off if they'd elected a hamster as their President. At least the hamster wouldn't be doing any harm.
