Trump wore a mask to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, after months of refusing to don the expert-recommended face coverings meant to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. 'I love masks in the appropriate locations,' Trump said.

President Donald Trump wore a mask during his visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., on Saturday.President Donald Trump wore a mask during his visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., on Saturday.

Trump's usual reluctance to cover his mouth and nose in public has been a point of controversy during the nation's coronavirus crisis, especially as cases of COVID-19 continue to spike — particularly in Republican-led states.

The president had indicated earlier this week that he would likely wear a mask to the medical center to avoid the possibility of infecting soldiers.

Liberal cuck

I for one think the 135,000 Deaths from COVID19, the millions of unemployed, the rent/mortgage bubble that is going to burst us more important to cover than a mask on a incompetent corrupt realDonaldTrump

He wore it out of respect for the military. 🇺🇸

Better question...why doesn’t realtrump appreciate military. Obama visited Walter Reed every quarter. I believe this is the third time trump has gone in 4 years.

He looks pissed.

This is “breaking new”. Pathetic. Disgraceful. Unfit president

He looks angry

Didn’t they just release some info stating trump ppl need to wear masks for the cameras but not while inside the building?

They finally muzzled the bastard.

Only asshole realDonaldTrump would say he loves masks. NO ONE loves masks! We wear them for ourselves and out of respect for others, to help slow the spread of this horrible virus. But the IdiotInChief thinks saying he loves them is a good sound bite. Bite this!

Can you believe we have a moron in the White House who is so inept, his wearing a mask at a hospital during a pandemic is newsworthy?

good for him, i hope he keeps it up as a good example for others

You absolute clowns.

It is a hospital after all, he's got sense enough to listen to his handlers.

God I love having his mouth covered.

Thank Goodness. Our veterans don’t need Covid-19

He must realize he and many of his supporters are fueling this spike by refusing to wear masks. Unless everyone is on same page, we never will get out of this situation. We all are responsible for improvement.

Smell like victory, do they?

Trump is the poster boy for HYPOCRISY. No one cares about his “too little, too late” mask attempt.

You know what else Trump probably wore, socks and deodorant !!! Who really cares about this?

What he means by ‘appropriate locations’ is the parties nee orgies hosted by his buddies like Epstein and in organized crime syndicates. Except for that time in moscow when he didn’t think he needed one..who would have thought THAT was a setup..

Took him long enough

Expert recommended?

My guess is they told him he wasn’t setting foot in the place without a mask. He’s also now pandering for votes. Don’t be misled.

The ‘appropriate location’ is anywhere in the US.

Stop making this traitor your top story.

Utter Nonsense. Talking in circles as usual.

He really said “I love masks...”?

Is this a subtle nod to Eyes Wide Shut?

Great, looks like the Lone Ranger...

All locations are appropriate thank you.

👏EVERYWHERE👏IS👏THE👏 APPROPRIATE👏PLACE👏

Taxpayers fund this crap. defundNPR

realDonaldTrump wears a mask! realDonaldTrump drinks from a glass with one hand! realDonaldTrump can walk down a ramp! Good job! So proud of of your big boy accomplishments!

loneranger

Like when he does bank jobs

Hey, look at him! Doing the bare minimum anyone can do keep other folks safe... nice work “The Lone Ranger”...

That looks photoshopped on. 😂😂😂

I work at a VA hospital. I assume Walter Reed has the same rules. EVERYONE must ware a mask for each other’s safety.

He wore a mask in public back in May while touring a Ford factory in Michigan. This is NOT the first time. Just sayin.

Don't fool yourselves. He just saw the latest poll that the overwhelming number of Americans disagree with how djt is handling the pandemic. ONLY if it benefits him personally will he do anything.

Incredible that realDonaldTrump didn’t think a factory that makes supplies for SARS-Cov-2 tests wasn’t the appropriate site for a face mask. DumpTrump2020 BidenPledgesAllegianceToUS

God that quote is creepy right?!

He knows we are after him for his poor leadership with COVID. He is banking on the short memory span of the American voter. A way for him to deny later that he was a poor leader for the pandemic. Very sad.

Trump's resignation would look really good with that mask.

Even if you guys see this alot

I hope to see more of this. I actually saw a pretty cool MAGA mask the other day in a video.

Lol he’s pissedddddd 😂

dont believe me? check me out

So whatever happened to Trump forcing the CIA to share intel with the Russians or the fact Russia put bounties on American soldiers? Y’all still covering those stories or nah?

👍🏻realDonaldTrump

How very unpresidential...along with the orange hair and horrible comb over LOL

I'm still the best 9 year old rapper

He tested positive lol prob

That would have been good like in March.

Appropriate locations? So some people are more deserving of others from your potentially viral spread? Right...🤬

The appropriate location for a mask is on your face. People are dying

Blk_Intellect And I take it you “love napalm in the morning too?” What a maroon he is.

Too little too late. As usual...

I love to see him get the hell out of the WH

Man he's just so creepy

Why would you even quote his bs about mask wearing. 130,000 plus dead, and now he says this crap, skip him!

Someone said “ Do want to go to to place where there are young hot chicks waiting to meet you”? The catch ,you have to wear a mask, that covers you nose and mouth.

One of his bootlickers told him that he looked good in it. That’s the only reason the vain one is wearing it.

It will only be a matter of time before Trump claims he’s been wearing a mask since the beginning. Just wait. Trumpvirus ImpechedGrifterFromQueens

DJT lies yet again.

When liberal-operated, Trump-hating NPR has to report facts, they do so reluctantly. I don’t blame them. If I had brainwashed my readers into thinking orange man was the evil, I’d want to stick with that narrative all the time as to not get cancelled by the demons I created.

JoeBiden did it better and continues to do it becuase it’s a pandemic —not for political points!

Not the first time he’s been photographed in one!

This is a story?

Strange. His masks usually come with a hood.

Only optics.

Hopefully it's too late and he already has the virus. But hey, we can only hope.

And what

He wears to catch the drool. TrumpIsNotWell

Wearing a mask, drinking water, & walking on a ramp are not on anyone’s resume. That this is a “success” after so many dead, so many lives & families disrupted, our economy in shambles, & our kids saddled with his debt. Hold him accountable for worst disaster in US History!!!

This is how you know we are in deep shit

Trying to hide from Russian bounties and quid pro quo

As evidence his no policy policy for combating the virus is a failure.

That statement. What the hell does he ever even mean ?!

And by 'appropriate locations,' he means whenever officials force him to wear one. DumpTrump2020

So no big deal. A campaign stunt can we say bogus?

Just like 13 year old gussett huh POTUS realDonaldTrump fukn looser!

Aw, they got him one with the presidential seal so he would wear it. That's what I did with my kids when they refused to wear underwear--I got them the Buzz Lightyear briefs. Our president is a toddler.

Not to discredit the story, but this photo looks fake.

Trump needs fireworks to go off for finally wearing a mask. It’s like Donnie is finally off diapers and potty trained, yay!

Lincoln Project needs to make an add with every time trump denounced wearing a mask. Every single one of his minions and sycophants. This one needs to be hammered right into people’s heads!

Was there no one there who had balls enough to ask him why he has not done anything about the Soviet bounty thing?

sherylkahn Trump did it because they told him no mask no entry!!

Too little, too late, and realDonaldTrump is lacking any sincerity or commitment to resolving the crisis and protecting Americans. TrumpVirusCatastrophe GOPBetrayedAmerica coronavirus COVID19

Why was he at Walter Reed?

Finally somebody got in the act like an adult

Thank you President Trump, and keep up the fantastic work. All the best to the staff and patients at Walter Reed.

Wow. Such courage. After refusing to wear it, repeatedly saying “COVID will just go away” and not encouraging people to wear it despite overwhelming evidence and advise it helps reduce the spread , he finally did it! God fuck him.

He’s still a corrupt traitor. BFD.

I love corrupt traitors in the appropriate locations.

He loves masks! He's been wearing masks this whole time! It was just invisible because it was advanced Space Force technology!

Pretty fucking sad that this is newsworthy.

Tomorrow he will say he’s been wearing a mask the whole time and that he invented them.

.😉

Will not make any impact at this point; Don has already sent the message that 137k deaths are ok, and he's fine with mmore. He doesn't like the mask; he was required by a hospital to wear one.

He loves young women in “appropriate” locations (Jeff? Jeff? Where are you?) cooking the books, and other nefarious activities, as well. God bless, ‘Merica!”

“Appropriate locations” — 🤔 like, maybe the mask factory he visited and they had to discard the day’s output? Asking for a few dozen million people who see right through this stunt to his Russia-bounty coverup.

Is anyone close to him, keep him in check? I sure hope so, last week it's no masks now he loves them in 'appropriate' locations! Would Rally's you've held recently appropriate places, your own secret service agents have gotten it. Your staff has gotten it. All when you refused to

It wasn’t the first time. That’s false reporting.

Like he'll wear them like EyesWideShut ? Guess tRump is into kink.

Clearly photoshopped.

realDonaldTrump YOU LOOK SO WEAK!!!!!

FINALLY

Darn, now he may not get the virus

Bless his heart...

Miracles do happen.

I've seen several of these photos and they all look (to me) like the the mask is 'shopped to his face. I know it's real, but it doesn't look real at the same time.

Walter Reed mandates masks for visitors.

He is still a human pig, with a mask. Too little too late.

realDonaldTrump appropriate locations Dumb!!

🙄

See it was not difficult to wear mask, similarly it will not be hard to step down after losing the election.

He looks better with a mask we can see. 😡🤬

“I love masks....” “Let’s make America Masked again...” The man is a walking oxymoron.

Happy the embarrassment wore one. It's obvious he wore it for votes & to protect himself. A narcissist never did something for others!

Leading from behind once again

He’s finally done one thing right. At this point I’m willing to presume his campaign supporters made him do this, vs him making an honestly good and well-intended decision of his own accord.

'I love masks in the appropriate locations.' What an odd thing to say. Again.

Only took 5 months and 130,000 deaths

He wasnt refusing to wear one. He was trolling all you p*ssies who think masks are your new savior.

I wonder what type of mask was under that

Late, as always 🤣

Like he has ever worn a mask at an appropriate location before.

Now if only it would render him speechless!

Yep looks just like the Lone Ranger like he said...

O&M&G! Trump actually wors a mask in the proper setting to help put the people around him at ease? What is the world coming to? Its Armageddon I tell ya.

TrumpDerangementSyndrome

Media needs to boycott this one

He finally wears one after how many lives 6ft under ?

Yeah but

😷 DarthVader StarWars

Conned

There are a few wealthy Taliban that collected bounty payments and the president is walking among the dead soldiers friends and brothers in arms. What a repulsive human being.

CHINA IS HAPPY.

Jeez, now I know why I didn’t wanna wear one.

Too bad they didn’t commit him

He had to wait until his POTUS mask was manufactured and shipped from China. Like all the rest of his MAGA bs.

Good for him, someone give the big baby a medal. 🙄wearingamaskisnothard trumpisabigbaby

Can we get him a bigger mask so we don’t have to see the rest of his face?

He still looks evil.

Like when he's fleecing a nation

The appropriate locations are EVERYWHERE. 😡 WearAMask

Looks much better with it

“136,785, 136,786, 136,787. OK..NOW, I’ll put a mask on!!!

This should have never been a thing. Donald cemented his status as an utter buffoon throughout this pandemic. The irony - he looks better with the mask on.

And it only took five months. Screw him.

Of course I wear masks.

Profiles in Courage lol

Donald “I love masks” Trump

What a guy🥴🇺🇸

Please stop covering his idiocy, it is exhausting and useless

150k deaths later...

With that mask on he doesn’t have the appearance of the Lone Ranger but instead the visage of a comic book supervillain.

Better late than never. Oh and all public or semi public and crowded outdoor locations are appropriate places to wear a mask.

Up his ass would be nice.

99% of places are the correct location to wear a mask. He's late. This is not worthwhile news. There are 3.29 M confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 137k deaths in the US. He should have acted in January!!! Dont give him any credit for wearing a mask 1 frigging time.

He wants you to talk about his mask instead of the bigger scoop, commuted the prison sentence of his longtime friend Roger Stone. Diversion. Stay focus people! DonaldSwamp LoserInChief FailedPresident TrumpLiedAmericansDied TrumpVirus trump2020LandSlideToHell LockHimUp

He wore it inside the hospital. Move on kids

I love Trump in the appropriate locations. Prison for example.

Literally the bare minimum. Way too little, way too late.

Give him no credit for this after all his lies and foolish posturing. No credit.

I am glad he is wearing a mask but for some reason he reminds me of Hannibal Lechter in the Silence of the Lambs.

Looks photoshopped

Wearing a mask outside of a health care center is almost pointless. President Trump is just following the guidelines given by medical experts.

Oh! Does he really need one? I thought he was adamant he was doing just fine with hydroxychloroquine and bleach!

I see the Lone Ranger. Where's Tanto?

That's a lie, he was wearing it here and there when needed. Like this article about a month ago. I would correct your post FAKE NEWS!!! Trump2020

Did he have to wait until a mask was made with the presidential seal?

He looks like a criminal. Even with a mask

'COVID-45' CARNAGE Too little, too late. Ivanka is responsible in large part for this horror show.

After 5 months. He indeed is a slow learner. No child left behind. We did not give up and now he seems to have learned something.

Because they wouldn’t let him in without it. No photo op after golf game.

So the where they make the COVID tests isn't an appropriate location?

Let's give him a cookie for doing the bare minimum. 🙄

Love this muzzle!

Imagine if he had done this in March. Or April. Or May. Or June.
