Waiting for tipsy trump and zombie mike to get the virus, fingers crossed

What about the rest of us don't we get tested

Or when on camera, obviously.

Except when at their desks? How does sitting at your desk protect you? In most offices I've seen, when you're at your own desk you're downwind from someone 10 feet away and they're eating tuna fish. If you can smell their lunch, you can inhale their viruses.

Stop giving tax payer dollars to these left leaning Dems socialists communists they and Planned Murderhood use some of those tax dollars my money to fund Dems socialists communists STOP IT.

MAGA White House Staffers.......found at their desks.

Except when they’re on camera

Thats the better

Maybe its already too late

They’re wearing masks to protect themselves MAGA while sending you out under the lie that you’ll be okay dumbasses

“LIBERATE THE WHITE HOUSE” Trumptweets

Really then why wasn’t the press secretary not wearing one during he briefing ?

😂

Hey NPR, do a video to TEACH West Wing Whitehouse staffers how to wipe theirs butt after using the bathroom then how to wash their hands. Then do a video to teach them how to blow their nose. If these west wing donothings don't know how to be clean, they all need to be fired.

AND except when Trump or Pence are around.

What a propaganda outlet for the Communist regime aka Democrats. DEFUND NPR! DEFUND NPR! DEFUND NPR! DEFUND NPR!

Well well...but trump supporters don't have too?

Liberate the White House!!! ... right? realDonaldTrump

The very things that they have led their followers to loathe and make fun of - they are using to protect their golden one. Heightofhypocrisy

What about the East Wing - nobody care about the FLOTUS ?! Sweetheart, get yourself a new hubby, that man don’t care for you!

Who is the senior official ?

But of course these morons won’t. Because you know experts know nothing

Of course, not at their desks. Soooooo, they must still be immune, but ONLY at their desks. THAT, and the impecable timing is just brilliant! 🙄🙄🙄

They don’t want to but let’s wear them so the other side doesn’t get upset.

Wait why? Isn’t it a hoax!? Lol 😂 all these fools continue to be so brainwashed under the orange 💩

DoD started requiring masks near the beginning of April. Apparently someone there has sense.

Wait....so it’s not a hoax anymore?

If they can find their desks, beneath all the hate mail from people who want TrumpPressConf to Resign.

Masks!

This government would deny employees the opportunity to wear masks in their work environment, an environment that has proven to be unsafe! I cannot believe that people will work for this government🤬

At least it will make em sit down and do some actual work.

But it's all an overblown hoax perpetrated by the left I thought

Aren’t their desks in tight, contained quarters?

They're just doing this now? They should've been doing it all along.

But Covfefe-45 and FOX Said this was all a big Liberal HOAX. Did the White House LIE to the American People, repeatedly? (ret)

Um...

Only took them 90+ days and a handful of close calls for IMPOTUS to figure out how necessary masks are! 🤦‍♀️

I am not one for conspiracy theories, but- how TF has POTUS and VPOTUS escaped diagnosis with all these cases around them? A vaccine?

The Day Late and Dollar Short Award goes to the Trump Administration!

It's not like they were immune from their own incompetence.
