YPSILANTI, Mich. - President Donald Trump traveled on Thursday to the crucial U.S. election battleground state of Michigan to visit a Ford Motor Co plant amid tensions with its Democratic governor during the coronavirus pandemic, opting not to wear a protective face mask for the cameras.
Trump has consistently disregarded guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urging people to wear masks in close company to try to curb the spread of the virus. When asked if Trump was told it was acceptable not to wear a mask in the plant, Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford said, “It’s up to him.”The company later said in a statement that the chairman had “encouraged” Trump to wear a mask when he arrived, adding that the President had obliged during a private viewing of three two-seater Ford GT sports cars but then removed the face covering for the rest of the visit.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, seen as a potential vice presidential running mate for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, is facing a backlash from some critics against her stay-at-home orders in a state hit hard by the last recession. Trump has encouraged anti-lockdown protests against Whitmer held in Michigan’s capital.
This proves how self involved he really is. No respect for the employees of Ford. I hope that there are charges brought against him for this atrocity
COVIDIDIOTS
What’s the point of caking on all that sexy orange makeup if you’re just gonna cover it with a mask?
Any poll purportedly giving Biden edge over Trump should not be taken seriously by anyone with some memory of polls in 2016. Just saying.
USA has reported more than 1.6 million cases Latest updates | cases per million population👇 COVID Covid_19

'opted'
Could you clarify that the 'protective mask' is there to PROTECT OTHERS? Drumpf could argue that since he's tested practically every day, he's not likely to infect anyone. But his vain and childish refusal to wear one encourages other vain and childish people.
I don’t care what people say, the guy doesn’t seem to catch COVID 19
Look at the pork belly on that boy. Send him to the processing plant. Sooie sooie come her piggy.
« For the cameras ». I rest my case.
That schlepping, tub of lard piece of shit never wears one and citizens are out having pissing conests whenever they see someone not wearing one. Time to chill.
Him is the president..there is no law the can stop him from doing what he wants..if he decide not to leave office...like the mask..who can make him
Why would he? Influencing the nation’s health, or the safety of his people is clearly not a priority.
He did wear a mask MSM just wants to make a big deal out of it.
He knows he losing Michigan 😂
I know why he's not wearing a mask. The elastic would mess up his hair.
