Public defenders are angry that, in some counties, sheriff’s deputies won’t wear masks in courthouses, despite a state order on face coverings to prevent coronavirus spread.The president was a latecomer to wearing a mask during the pandemic, which has raged across the U.S. since March, infecting more than 3.2 million and killing over 134,000. Most prominent Republicans, including Vice President Mike Pence, endorsed wearing masks as the coronavirus gained ground this summer.
Trump, however, has declined to wear a mask at news conferences, coronavirus task force updates, rallies and other public events. People close to him have told the Associated Press that the president feared a mask would make him look weak and was concerned that it shifted focus to the public health crisis rather than the economic recovery. They spoke on condition of anonymity to describe private matters.
While not wearing one himself, Trump has sent mixed signals about masks, acknowledging that they would be appropriate if worn in an indoor setting where people were close together. But he has accused reporters of wearing them to be politically correct and has retweeted messages making fun of Democratic rival Joe Biden for wearing a mask and implying that Biden looks weak.
WRONG, Trump wore mask at Ford plant.
What a hypocrite! Trump did nothing to protect them, knowing about the Russian bounties for killing Americans, and came to see what came of it.
Hey, I know, maybe this is the moment he became presidential right? Ffs try not to suck so much
Really and you think we should applaud this idiot who spent months calling the virus a hoax refused to wear a mask from the beginning opened churches held rallies while being uncovered...seriously you can’t see this is just another bible photo op...LA TIMES please do better!
Finally got smart
This means nothing. Doesn’t make up for the politicization of public health, doesn’t bring anyone back to life, doesn’t reverse any of the active infections overwhelming this country, doesn’t quell our fears of contracting this virus.
Not sure what to say. My mind is in turmoil
eternal life Jesus do not confuse Jesus with trump
big problems biden thinks castro good congress doesn't know how many wars we are fighting / congress hasn't read obama care / congress ok with selling body parts ; after abortion /congress ok with 1 man 1 pen
Oh he shouldn't have bothered...
And he looks so much better ...hahaha...
Stop with this nonsense reporting. So what, the idiot was finally convinced to wear a mask over his makeup. People are still dying, Roger Stone is free and Trump never said or did anything about the bounties. The media is doing 2016 again and we'll all pay the price.
Nah don’t try to mask up now after you went GOLFING AGAIN today realDonaldTrump
Great. The very bare minimum a person can do right now.
Never forget 7/11!
Probably because he wanted to be closer than 6 ft to people who are sick.
Did he tie his own shoes too?
This is not news. BFD
What sort of fucking news is this!
Fact Check: False.
So what? He should have done so in February. Here’s a writer who covers this story better (or the way most of the media should have):
Whether the president wears or doesnt, individual should use their common sense n decide and take responsibility for the decision made or to make. Stop blaming your president, your father, your mother, your children, your dog, or anyone else. Americans are not silly.
He looked like a tool. And that was totally unrelated to any mask wearing. 🤡
Get a good look....it's the mask of fear. He's afraid. He thinks covid-19 is in the air. I wonder who talked him into going to a military hospital? Still think covid-19 is a hoax?
And of course the mask had to be black because we wouldn’t want the orange transfer to be visible, now would we
My sons four. He can wear one too
Wrong.
Trump 2020!!! Best President Ever!!!
To divert everyones attention from Bounty gate
Does he get a lollipop? He's a big boy now! 🍭
TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE, FAT MAN
It’s about fu****g time
So what do you have on Ghislaine?
It's amazing how this is the most important event of the whole damn day. The dumbshit finally wears a mask and every network, and newspaper has to announce it on Twitter.
Perhaps because he’s in a hospital? On his plane, speaking from a podium, physically distanced at a briefing, etc doesn’t make sense. Hospital makes sense.
130K people have died due to the incompetence in the WH. He wore a mask? Big F’ing deal.
What will his followers think? They will be confused.
My 4 year old granddaughter has been wearing one for months...
He *almost* was able to do it.
Hypocrite.
Defund trump
