Trump fired back at an evening news conference, saying,"We want to have a certain freedom, that's what we’re about."
"Different states are much different, both in terms of the atmosphere itself and also in terms of the corona problem," Trump continued."He does not identify what authority the president has to issue such a mandate or how federal law enforcement could possibly enforce it or why we would be stepping on governors throughout our country, many of whom have done a very good job and they know what is needed.
Biden said he hopes the president has"learned the lesson" now that masks save lives but added it's not about politics. "What real leadership looks like is Joe Biden. To speak up. Sometimes, telling us the stuff that we don't necessarily want to hear, but we need to know," Harris said. Earlier Thursday, inside a makeshift, television-like studio at a hotel in downtown Wilmington, Delaware, Biden and Harris participated in their first joint COVID-19 briefing with health care experts over a video call as deaths from the virus rise in the United States.
Biden said the briefing focused on the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on different races and the availability of PPE and testing capacity.
Please DEFEAT TRUMP....HE IS EVIL
Methinks more lives saved than masks, if no street drugs for three months and put a few stooges/pushers on unemployment.
Wearing yours over your eyes, again, Joe?
'I've got the, got the hairy legs, an an the kids reach unner the water and touch 'em....' 🙄
First of all, there's no solid science to back this up. Also, the VP pick is interesting. This is all crazy.
Biden = Leader. National mask mandate should have been implemented in April. BidenHarris2020
Interesting how he’s been campaigning for a while now but not a mention about what he would do for the pandemic until Harris came along! Now all of a sudden mandate masks. What took him so long.
He best watch his back. Harris wants to be president
President Donald Trump accused the media of trying to 'COVID shame' him for having a large rally but not applying the same standard to protesters.
President Trump is your President joe biden
Wheres your Mask?
FALSE- First of all - very many are wearable dirty, germy masks - they will just spread more germs - especially when they touch their masks, then touch other things. This is particularly true for children!!
Lol save lives who’s dying? The rate is lower than last years monthly deadly rates....
Would love for the media to ask him some pertinent questions and for him to answer them.
Where's Joe's mask?
While not wearing a mask.
Did he mention governors? Did I mishear him?
Where did he say governors?
Soft N Weak
We have one in West Virginia and most people just ignore it.
Authoritarian nonsense
Oh lying fascist ABC! If Trump had called for mandatory masks, u would have called him a dictator! Alzheimer Joe says it and he’s a hero! Trump has always said wear a mask but has always said it is up to the governors! Lying fscist hypocrtical lying BIGOTS, ABC!
So DEMOCRATIC'S can cheat because everyone knows they can't WIN without CHEATING! DEMOCRATIC'S ARE LOSER'S! THEY KILL STEAL & DESTROY!
the issue is enclosed spaces not outside 🤦🏾♀️. People are past the masks and realize the death rate is .5 % survival is 99.5 % most people I know are like l, bring it on give it to me so I can get it and be over it.
Fvck your mask Joe.
So... this is all political. There is NO science supporting this. factsoverfear ReOpenAmerica
👏👏👏👏👏👏
MSM/Dems: Mandate a lockdown Trump: Can't, up to the states Trump: We should end lockdown and open schools. MSM/Dems: You can't tell the states what to do: Biden: I'll order a mask mandate. MSM/Dems: Good, you should Do you not see a problem with this?
King Biden....
Clown 🤡
Go away Joe
Communist
Trump has been saying that all along!!!🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
Just make sure your wearing one too
Let’s see you enforce it.
Go to the home!!
The problem is exactly what you are seeing now in the US, two week quarantine to curb hospital overcrowding, now it’s a year+. Masks makes sense’ but the it becomes an authoritative tool. Frankly too many people are willing to give up freedom forever to be safe.
If masks work so well, why not issue them to prisoners instead of release them....🤔🤔🤔.
He looks so tired
F U . Plagiarizing Speech , Did you & Greta get together
Blindly wearing a mask outside in the fresh air when nobody is nearby is the ultimate dumbing down of America. Governors and Politicians make across the board decisions without allowing We The People to have any say or exercise any good discretion or common sense.
Isn't he jumping the gun a bit? Not to mention, we've been wearing those damn masks for 5 months now!
Where is his mask?
Yeah right crazy sleepy Joe. CA Health Dept many others, unless its a N95, masks are pretty much worthless.....
And since masks are the answer, we can open the polls. No need for mail in voting. Brilliant! 😂
But you’re not wearing a mask right now. I mean. 😑
For 3 months! The election will cure everything! He’s off his rocker
Biden/Harris can't take questions? This gotta be a first? If they can't take questions they can't be president?
And let's mandate tap be put on joe Biden and his running mate for the next 3 months
But if realDonaldTrump said this-democrats would want him impeached! 😂😂😂
Why are the ones complaining about gathering in a pandemic the same ones who promote protesting and holding funerals during a pandemic? No discrepancy? Yeah right.
First of all he can not mandate anything. He is NOT the president. And 2nd he will never be president. So he can take his mandates and stick them up Kamela ass.
Yesyesyesyesyes!!!!!! Finally someone making sense!!!!! Let's JUST DO THIS AND GET IT OVER WITH ONCE AND FOR ALL. STOP PUSSYFOOTING AROUND AMERICA!!!!!!!
JoeBiden you are free to wear a mask as other Americans are free not to. This is America, not China.
🤣🤣🤣
what a monkey nut
Sounds like he thinks he's president already.
F off 🖕🏼
Then why did the democrats hammered Trumps decision to stop people coming from China early on?
They protested masks back in 1918 during the Spanish flu epidemic. People are just like that. Plus there were race riots back then, too. None of this is new. This already happened. Also, he hasn’t been elected so wtf is he talking about? 😂😂😂😂😂
Is this what people want? Good god.
Cannon Hinnants life mattered! CHLM Let's post it everywhere
you arent a prez yet. good move though
Biden accepted bribes from China, traitor
Joe Biden supports violent Marxist revolutionary groups like BLM and Antifa that are burning, looting, and killing people right now. He should start with calling for end to the rioting, if he wants to stop spreading Covid.
He’s a idiot!!!
JoeBiden is a racist! Period! End of debate... VoteTrump VoteGop
Thank you, saving lives matter, preventing others from getting sick matters.. 165,000 are gone, many of these could of been prevented, thank you Joe Biden for caring and thank you
Within hours of President Trump's decision to restrict travel from China on Jan. 31, top Democrats and media figures immediately derided the move as unnecessary and xenophobic Democrats are clowns.
Mandate getting ridiculous now
Joke Biden is calling for a mask mandate while he fails to wear one. Again...a Democrat telling you do as I say not as I do. You wear a mask so Scranton Joe doesn’t have to. He’s a jagoff!
Mandate? People should have the right to choose!
All a setup. You know it commie station.
What the fuck have we been doing Joe?
Yes should be the way . At least prevention better than cure . It will safe human lives that matters.
I agree with the mask mandate. He is not connected yet.
In the name of Jesus I declare that Joe Biden to publicly confess his sins of corruption and deception and ask Jesus Christ to forgive him and restore him.
Where's his mask then?
He’s a joke
Who is going to enforce this? The cops everyone hating on and want to defund? I wear mask and most people do as a preventive care to self and others. Most states already have this in place, Joe just now wants to be relevant!
Good thing he's not the President.
If we ban automobiles we will save lives too. If ban abortion we will save lives too. If put enough police on the street to end violence we will save lives too. If elect Trump to a second term we will save lives too. Many Governors have & they don't enforce it correctly. All talk
you will not know had /have Covid until you get tested ..so wear a mask 0r show your results
I think he’s a good man . Put your masks on. Work together and live.
Masks, scientifically proven to be ineffective against coronavirus, have nevertheless become quasi-religious talismans against the evil virus.
So Biden should be a dictator that some claim Trump to be? Take the power to make decisions away from governors that was given to them by their states electorate and the constitution?
This is about mail in voting. Do the math. Even liberals have 3 fingers.
What a real leader looks like
Probably no one has told Joe that ready access to hydroxychloroquine may do a better job than those mind control masks.
people will say, 'I'm not sick' but how do you know ?
Enough with the bullshit...Joe is a racist and Harris is a liar. ✌🏽
3 months? after mail in voting, covid magically disappears?
Someone read him the 10th Amendment please.
And that is Biden’s BIG PLAN that is different from Trump? To BEG (that’s all a president can do, and follower Biden is good in begging) governors to institute mask mandate? Are you fu**en kidding me? Like the governors lived in ignorance the last 6 months!
How many people have you seen gasping for air while a global pandemic is in effect caused by a respiratory disease?
It does make me wonder how many people died from singing ?
BidenIsARacist
Why aren't they putting a mandate on the companies that sell us all the harmful foods that cause diseases like colon cancer?
How can he mandate anything? Another Democrat probably invested in the facial mask industry. Let the American ppl make me more wealthy.
During this pandemic, I have lost my job, my partner and about to lose my house. I have two young boys and no income. If you can help, my cash app is $athastings07. Thank you and God bless.
Totalitarian asshole.
My prediction Biden will win, the Trump will have him taken out by his secret police force. He already said he will punish every unloyal American. Trump is the last president this country will ever see. He'll have Russian military come in and subdue all his challengers.
This is what leadership is!
ABCCP
Biden is helping President Trump's re-election campaign!
Biden is delusional and weak !
Did I read correctly that he wants a law to require masks outside? stupid I am all for masks inside but you have to make this something that people can deal with.
Viejo pajuato!
