'He's got a mask on that's the largest mask I think I've ever seen, so I don't know if you can hear him,' President Donald Trump said of a reporter at the White House on Friday as new cases of COVID-19 approached record levels.

There were 71,671 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported on Thursday, according to Johns Hopkins University. The total is the highest since a spike over the summer reached a record high with over 77,362 new cases reported on July 16. There have been over 223,000 deaths due to the virus since the pandemic began.

While cases and deaths continue to rise and polls indicate that a majority of Americans do not approve of Trump's handling of the pandemic, the president has continued to downplay its severity. During his debate with Biden in Nashville, Tennessee on Thursday, he insisted that the virus would soon"go away."

President Donald Trump sits during a meeting in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, D.C. on October 23, 2020.

From the guys who won’t cover Biden laptop ; if only Biden could be impeached now is cry of democrats

He emerged from the primordial ooze. He is not a true human being.

COVIDIOT realDonaldTrump

I was labelled an “interloper” for commenting on the US election. People in Britain are parroting Trump’s words and mask wearing has become a political statement in the UK too. When US political leaders stop influencing our lives I will leave them alone.

I watched this event. This is a gross mischaracterization. It was a light moment, the question was for Israeli PM who was on phone, Trump joked about the size of the mask before repeating the question into the phone. Everyone in the room smiled and laughed. Bogus headline

I will mock realDonaldTrump every day when he's out of office. Can't wait to see him squirm when he can't pay his debt.

Reporter knows people in that room tested positive for coronavirus not long ago!

Cases mean nothing but newsweek is too stupid the realize that we can do math and think logically is complicit in the destruction of humanity

Lying Donny, once an idiot, always an idiot! realDonaldTrump

No one of substance and integrity gives a flying fOOk what this arse has to say. And that's A FACT.

if we, humans, can politicize a simple “FaceMask” which has the potential to protect you and others, we can certainly politicize anything. It is shameful

MICHAEL LANG, 18, a student at the University of Dayton in Ohio, has died of complications from COVID-19.

Instead on trying to compare it with death. Compare what they actually say about mask.

Shameful!!!

Remember the Cain: Herman Cain. Wear your damn masks
