President Trump was photographed wearing a mask in public for the first time on Saturday, after months of refusing to don one. 'I've never been against masks, but I do believe they have a time and a place,' he told reporters.

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.

Wrong strategy!!! 'A day late and a dollar short,' is another way to say too little too late. When a person is a day late and a dollar short, he has not only missed an opportunity due to tardiness, but also because he has not put forth enough effort.

Gaslighting

He is so ugly!

“What is correct time and place, Mr. President?” -Said no reporter ever.

He is so ugly

He was in a HOSPITAL, you idiots!

Get a life NPR and quit trolling the president of the USA.

FakeNews First time? NPR wrong again Trump wore mask in public in May during visit to Ford plant

TOO LATE!!

Only a 137,000 deaths too late

So are we really going to not talk about why bunkerbitch doesn’t want to wear the mask or nah? Ladies you know how it is...

It’s a little late. BidenPledgesAllegianceToUS

That’s a dope mask, honestly.

The mask is infused with Big Mac secret sauce.

Who cares?

Now where’s all those anti-maskers, I want to know what they have to say now.

LoneRanger

Love to see it. Would it be biggest mask in the history of masks?

Wow

First time in public? You dont consider tours of plants that were televised as public? He wore masks to those. A little misleading dont you think?

One would think during a pandemic would be “the time.” One would think before the deaths of 135,000 people would be “the time.” One would think after getting the advice of medical professionals to wear a mask would be “the time.” If one thinks, that is.

Trump is such a prevaricator! “I’ve never been against masks.”

🤦🏽‍♀️

TVRobNelson The rime & place is out in public

Who cares!! Day late and 130k deaths later!! He’s too late should have done this back in March. He’s destroyed our lives and economy.

More double talk from POTUS45 - on all sides of any issue - Sick - Demented - Killing fellow Americans with his rampant incompetence

The big story...realDonaldTrump made a rare trip to Walter Reed to provide a backdrop for a photo op that the media will go crazy about. Obama went to Walter Reed every quarter. I think this is Trump’s 3rd visit in 4 yrs.

Photo op? Too little too late. This is like rolling up the windows after a carwash. Will his people follow his, 'lead'? Maybe they'll WearADamnMask ?

Not impressed. He’s a hypocrite

If it gets people to do what their supposed to...

As far as places, I hear they’re very effective in prison.

Why do you insist on printing his propaganda!?

He was forced to wear it by the hospital.

he’s hurting for new photo op ideas

Lier!! He’s doing it because of all the criticism he’s received, even from Fox News that’s why. He can give a rat’s ass that wearing a mask months ago would have saved thousands of lives. He cares only for 1 Trump, even with this mask photo op 🤬

So... a photo op for votes? 😒

Why do you readily repeat his lies?

Liar, liar, jumbo soiled pants on fire!

There was a time and a place for him too —Manhattan in the 80s.

Who GAS?

Most masks do nothing to stop the virus...

For election purposes, nothing more

That’s true. Apparently he thinks the time and place is after he is losing to Biden.

The time is now. The place is on the face.

I call bs

Trump is a stable genius. He's been going to Walter Reed to visit the troops all the time and the press never reports it. He puts on a mask to go visit the troops at Walter Reed and its All News All the Time. Genius!

Okay

I resent Trump being allowed inside Walter Reed to wander around when thousands of family members are banned from visiting their loved ones inside hospitals and nursing homes. For him, it was just a photo-op. For families, it could be a last chance to say good-bye.

Big woop.

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

135,066 American deaths later: Donnie wears a mask. Whoopie-do! Biden2020

realDonaldTrump

Putting him in charge of who he will infect and reinforcing his push to open up the country. He, and not the experts, decides when and if you use a mask. Arrogance, ignorance, selfishness: uncaring of his fellow citizens.

Yeah. The time was 5 months ago and the place is anywhere public in the US. What a lousy leader.

Anti-mask? It’s a MASK.

This is as ridiculous as injecting disinfectant or taking an off-label drug. Maybe we should rethink masks now.

He couldn't even make it through the photo-op without screwing it up.

I'm going to bet the military wouldn't let him in the hospital without one

More fake news. I don’t know why I’m surprised. He’s never “refused” to wear a mask. He went to a VA where there are elderly people. Thought it would be appropriate. STOP THE LIES! STAY TRIGGERED!

Now how long until we can a muzzle on him?

Freaking stop talking about this already. You are doing exactly what he wants. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Stop! Just stop making this a news worthy thing. He cannot do anything decent and this kind of print out makes it look like he is trying.

Too late, f-er.

The time is now the place is across the globe

Yes Don. The time was months ago. The place was everywhere where there are other people.

Think it’s time? Only reason to visit Walter Reed is so he didn’t need to say he was wrong about masks. Only pres to go 4 years without visiting wounded soldiers there.

Dear God hush about Trump doing something he should have done months ago.

Amazing journalism right here NPR. Now do child trafficking by Hillary

Yeah, no, he doesn't get a cookie for doing the very MINIMUM required.

So he has never been against masks, except for all the times he openly said he didn't think they were necessary and he wouldn't wear on. Got it.

I’m all for people learning and adjusting their behavior, but I’m not all for NPR using their Twitter feed to print statements that are objectively false.

He looks so pissed off!

Why does NPR think this is newsworthy? Good grief, can you say 'pseudo event?'

Never admitting any wrong is a characteristic of a fragmented person.

Basically he knows he’s going to lose the election and doing what ever he can spin around and change his image. Hey POTUS it won’t work. Ppl are opening their eyes and can see through your BS

He looks effeminate. Agree, Lindsey? realDonaldTrump VP PressSec RepMarkMeadows parscale TimMurtaugh GOPChairwoman SenateGOP HouseGOP LindseyGrahamSC tedcruz SenMikeLee SenJohnKennedy Jim_Jordan replouiegohmert DevinNunes RepStefanik

You mean after 135,000 deaths, and after Florida yet the record for most new Covid_19 cases in one day yesterday? Didn't you say the summer heat was going to kill that 'Democratic hoax'? 😑 You're a disgrace. 😒

His numbers are failing. He knows he's losing ground, politically. Going to the hospital, and wearing mask while doing so, is nothing but a grasp for votes. It's a sham and a chicken-$&*! publicity stunt

He destroys everything.

Wearing it wrong!

Liars:

6 months too late to change his minions minds. Token effort on his part, looks grumpy & needs mask tutorials 101

I heard it was a pair of Ivankas panties.

Yes, masks do have a time and place. A place: Covering your mouth and nose A time: When you are in public around others

The time is: DURING A PANDEMIC The place is: ON YOUR FACE ALL THE TIME

I think it's great Trump is taking down all those human trafficking rings and drug smugglers, don't you? Arrests WAY UP over previous administrations.

Wore it only because hospital mandates it

He’s an embarrassment

I've never been against masks, except when I refuse to wear one, which is all of the time except for this one time, or to encourage people to wear them to help save lives, but I do believe they have a time and a place with photo ops

Trump needs a muzzle.

Yeah, the time is now and the place is your face

realDonaldTrump is 4 months and over 130,000 dead too late. TrumpVirus TrumpKillsAmericans

Yes, and the time is now! And the place is anywhere while out in public!

Why is this news, does the 'left' cares if he wears a mask? The real news is , when 'Baseman Joe' comes out of hiding, with a Mask.....

A time and a place? How about ALL OF THE TIME that you are with HUMAN BEINGS inside anywhere? I’m so glad you think “they look good on me” 🤮PULEEEEEZE. It’s NOT a fashion statement. They SAVE LIVES. WearAMask WearADamnMask 😷

Yes, when you are in public. No one wears at home with family.

That's exactly the same remark he told Stormy Daniels when she suggested they sex play 'Batman does Robin.'

Would it hurt you just add that this is a lie?

In 'the appropriate locations'? Like... over noses and mouths, maybe? WHY IS THIS NEWS? 🙄

Only took +130k dead but who’s counting?

'Trump Visits Walter Reed In Spite Of Never Having The Nuts To Admonish Russia For Putting Bounties On Our Soldiers' is the better headline, but you do you. I'm sure your take that's the same of all the other outlets will get those clicks.

Tell me senator: did you nurse Catherine yourself?

I've never been against rules, I just believe there is a time and place for them.

Never admitting any wring is a characteristic of a very fragmented person.

He had one job and he still couldn't get it right. Are we supposed to clap or something?

Stop celebrating trump wearing a mask

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

So the asshole finally put on a mask. How is this news worthy of NPR? Is this what happens to the money I send my local station?

Big fat liar.

Some people are just a little slower to catch on than others.

“This is an American failure,” said Joseph Kanter, regional medical director for the Greater New Orleans area. “We’re five months into this epidemic and we can’t figure it out.”realDonaldTrump is criminally negligent in the deaths of 134000 Americans Covid_19 TrumpMask GOP

How is he going to stuff a cheeseburger under that mask? TrumpMask TrumpIsLosing

Biden wore one months ago. He's the leader, Trump is not.

The right place being in second place in the polls

Too little, too late.

You know you’re fucked as a country when you have to celebrate your “leader” finally wearing a mask after almost 6 months

Normalization Public Radio is at it again

It took a week for his aides to convince him to wear it. He’s said outright he’s against it. Correct his lies.

And yet, moments later POTUS /realDonaldTrump proves he can’t even master the mask.

137,000 have died.

He wasn't social distancing, and 137,000 Americans are dead that we know of.

So tired of this horrific failure.

Mmmmm

...don one? I get it.

Epic backpedal bro

Flip flop flip flop...

Hard to wear a mask with his head up his butt
