During a visit to Walter Reed National Medical Center on Saturday, President Donald Trump wore a face mask in front of assembled media for the first time.Though the move was expected and had been trailed in a series of media appearances this week, it was still a noteworthy evolution for the president, who has balked at wearing protective face coverings as a deadly pandemic surged across portions of the U.S.
In the hospital, Trump continued to wear his mask while speaking with wounded veterans, according to White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere. The president stressed this week he didn't believe masks were necessary in areas where frequent testing was available and social distancing practices followed.
Health officials have criticized the Southern states’ Republican governors for following the White House’s lead and re-opening too early, an action they believe is largely to blame for the rise in infections.
If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, did it make a noise? Of course it does.
Because he fears for his personal safety. That's why. Not really to set an example.
Why does your twitter headline bite and at the end of the article it states Trump wore the mask visiting soliders in the hospital. Headline the soldiers and stop worrying about our President and a mask
About time. His poll numbers must be down. Realizing he’s loosing people because the pandemic numbers suck
So glad to see this!
sound deafening?
Not the first time but you keep pushing your false narrative ..your credibility is in the toilet with NYTs and CNN anyhow.
So what? Another case of begrudgingly catching up in order to try to recover some of his voters. Show the picture and move on. He deserves no special attention for doing something he should have done months ago, causing many deaths in his neglect of taking COVID 19 seriously.
Trump is handsome in mask 😷🍸
Pathetic. He’s such a disgrace. Sad.
Trump should've worn a bright red MAGA mask. The Liberal media would've had an apocalyptic meltdown.
Too little, too late.
The blue tie (versus his usual red) is meant to signal Trump’s current prediction regarding the outcome of the election...
and, for a brief moment, the world ceased spinning on its axis as he continued on to pick up his Participation Award...
But for how long? Did he take it off when his photo op was over?
Cover soldiers w/Russian bounty on their heads; corruption of our justice dpt.; deaths & sickness as our fed.&red state govs do nothing. Trump pulled a photo op minus Bible & you media failures are covering it like he brought world peace. NO ONE CARES. DO YOUR JOBS - expose them
Is that Good or a bad to you and the Idiotic Leftists? 1,2,3.... yep, of course it is Bad... because not matter what, blind antitrump idiots will always choose to see bad on everything he does...
And when thought no one was looking...
I HOPE IT DIDN'T MESS UP HIS ORANGE MAKE UP! VOTE BLUE ALL THE WAY!
Because he fought it for so long, and the moral implications are so unforgivable, this picture will define his presidency.
tRump the Lone Ranger. where is Tonto Pence ?
Who cares? Why is that news?
Only for a photo op.
“Assembled”
It’s about time
He’s finally done the bare minimum to protect others from COVID. Now he has to actually do the things a president should have done months ago and try to stop the virus. He can’t stop here. He has to keep going, or this is all for political gain.
Means absolutely nothing if he's holding rallies not requiring masks or social distancing.
This is news? Seriously?
No one gets kudos for basically acting like a human.
This is another conversation changer/distraction that he’s always had in his back pocket and decided now is a good time to use it. This guy either really thinks he is a genius (although solely self-proclaimed) OR all Americans are as stupid as he thinks they are.
It's definitely a better look for him.
Why is this trivial event all over the media. It's ridiculous.
Because he’s scared.
Again......nobody cares.....
Is that a fake news or real ? 🙃
130k dying isn't his fault... Remember it killed when total lockdown was in existence... Seems the virus already arrived earlier..
Now that Trump's finally worn a mask (badly, since his nose was sticking out!), he's going to...WAIT FOR IT...pretend masks were *his* idea anyway, and it's 'fake news' to say he was ever against mask-wearing 😈 Seriously, how stupid are MAGAts, who regularly fall for his BS?
Did he discuss the dead soldiers he ordered killed by the Taliban
Nothing can mask Donald Trump's lack of fitness to be POTUS.
Little late - don’t you think?
no
Oh golly he’s so dreamy. 🙄🙄🙄
Where can I get one of these? Am tired of wearing the surgical masks I currently have. It must be very comfortable and breath-easy kind but very effective.
Until he didn’t
And the forgetting of Stone begins
So fucking what! How is this news? The headliner should be 'Stupid man dons mask - finally!'. TrumpVirus
Villains usually get unmasked. Now that villainous Trump has been forced to be masked what will happen to his sun tan. And don't those eye rings now look even whiter contrasting with the BLACK (!) mask?
Can you smell the desperation
Good
Smeared his makeup! Putz!
The crook in the White House just commuted the sentence of his co-conspirator in cheating & lying his way into the White House with Putin’s help and the press is...lathering praise on him for putting on a mask 4 months too late. It’s like living in the dumbest movie ever filmed.
Thanks Joe for leading the way..
He literally started wearing a mask to stop us from talking about RogerStone He is so nefarious.
That a bandit stealing US blind
loneranger
The media was heartbroken because they didn't get to see it the first time. 😩
A visit that was planned solely to justify his wearing it for the first time complete of course with a presidential seal.
Oh, Karen...
Welcome to the party Don. You’re a little late.
Lmao, the media has nothing to do.
It's a pr stunt.
Tomorrow he will have invented facemasks...and take credit.
It was part of his cognitive test, to see if actually could put it on without strangling himself, unfortunately I guess he passed that part
And they are it up as if it was a big deal played
I really don’t care, does anybody?
He knows everyone has turned against him because he won't take the covid 19 virus seriously!
So what!! He only did what every other visitor to Walter Reed does. Hopefully he also wore it when he visited hospital patients, and not just for this photo op.
See GovRonDeSantis you spineless, complicit fool. Now that your supreme leader has worn one, you can mandate it in Fl and perhaps do something about the 10K new cases per day.
You know he's a horrible person when common courtesy becomes breaking news.
That Mr. 'Today it's 15 victims and soon it will be zero' & 'It's a hoax' is suddenly 3,000,000 victims later just now wearing a mask is proof of his constant lies and demagoguery used against Americans in this pandemic since it arrived at the beginning of this year. TrumpVirus
Who cares. He’s still an asshole. It’s because of him people choose not to wear one. TrumpIsALoser
Celebrate American people’s victory.This costs America more than 134,700 lives in four months before our great president realized that every citizen without exception should wear a mask and follow CDC guidance. Vote him out in November.
They probably told him it's the only way they'd let him in
'For the first time...'
In light of all the build-up...he does look silly and weak wearing a mask. But then, to be fair, he looks silly and weak in orange, too.
Did he apologize to the soldiers for the bounties on their heads?
and he’s wrong. he doesn’t look good in a mask. it looks like he’s got a vantablack pie hole
NOW WHAT THE HELL WILL THE MEDIA HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT
Not scared of COVID. only reason POTUS wore a mask to Walter Reed is because he heard WR was filled with soldiers having Dignity and Honor and also told of the stories of soldiers dying with Dignity and Honor.He was too concerned of dying with Dignity and Honor so he wore a mask.
Best yet
You guys are killing me !!!! LET HIM NOT WEAR A MASK !!!! Is in our best interest ,,,!!!!!! Do i have to explain it
Some people improve their looks with a mask on........J/K I said that because I know he really hates to wear one.
Does this really qualify as news worthy?
terrorist_tRump
Big deal. He doesn't deserve credit for it. It's a necessity.
Ridiculous photo op.
And at GOP meetings trump wears his other mask
I wonder what his staff promised him, to get him to do it. And how long did the makeup artists take to make sure it wasn't rubbing off?
His Staff was trying to get a good PR photo op for campaign ads. They had to talk realDonaldTrump into doing this. Anyone want to place a wager on if he keeps wearing a mask
Will his loyalists be upset that he’s following health guidelines? MAGA country might be disappointed.
Trump looks better with a mask on! Got his little presidential seal on Good to see his ugly face covered.
He does kinda look like the Lone Ranger
Media - please do not make this one of those ridiculous 'Trump's new tone' moments. He was completely responsible for months. Finally he wore a mask to a hospital of all places. He doesn't deserve extra credit so don't give it to him.
Trying to discern how many months late this response is.
TheLoanArranger
Just another photo op. His failure to confront Putin May have got some of these soldiers shot.
I dgaf
See....wear a mask, it is not hard.
No further comments!
He should not have been there.
Day late and a dollar short. 🤦🏽♀️ He probably expects some praise for doing the decent thing, which is sadly an unusual move for him. When’s he gonna start with the MAGA part?
He sure doesn’t look happy!
I heard they did an MRI on tRump after failing his Cognitive test. They found there was nothing in his fat head.
Because thousands of his old white bigots are dying
They probably made him wear it..
It took almost 140,000 deaths for him to do what he should have been doing for months!
Give him a cookie
Sad that this needs to take over the 'news'
It's Photoshopped, no?
Why why why now is the question
Who cares? Yesterday he commuted his pal Roger Stone's jail time. Shouldn't that be what we're talking about?
The fact that this is a big deal is ridiculous. It’s freaking like the abrupt end to a stupid toddler tantrum rendered obscene given the fact that he is in his 70s. growupandserveAmerica
It’s rather comical considering all the media attention now that he WORE A FLIPPIN’ MASK. Wouldn’t have even been news from any other President..........
THIS is the headlines for today?
This is a huge distraction from the Stone commutation. Why feed his corruption?
