It's poor leadership, Larry.

No it's not. It's another example of why we have to put warning labels on a bottle of water.

"Poor leadership".....

The majority of people don't even know what leadership is when they see it.

"Poor leadership" my ass.

It’s not his mask wearing per se that’s important. It’s the sizeable portion of his base that is hostile to the idea. That group could have been much smaller than it is today had he adopted the right attitude early and consistently.

Agree.

Well, sure. It's just math.
The thousands upon thousands of Trump supporters protesting and burning every night, if they would all wear masks, it would certainly cut the transmission of the virus. Most people are at least partially locking themselves down to help flatten a curve somewhere. Damn republicans are out marching every day and every night.

There are always a certain small percentage that do wear masks. Not only do these republican protesters protect themselves from the virus, it helps filter the smoke, and cuts odor from people that seem to bathe only during certain cycles of the moon.

Like I said, it's just math.

Excuse me. You might as well go ahead and say that Trump supporters are too stupid to wear a mask unless Trump shows us how. That's the Left's firm view, and I am highly offended by it. Not only is it a bare assed lie, it's the exact opposite of the truth. Even a complete moron can see it's the LEFT out protesting, looting, etc.

You Lefties need to pull your heads out of your asses. Trump supporters do not need to be shown how to act, or how to live our lives. Every indication is that it is your side of the aisle with diminished mental capacity.

And don't give me this shit about how I misunderstood you. Its a shared arrogance from your side of the aisle, and its offensive.

I know a lot of real life people who are upset at the protesters for generating super-spreader events AND folks who don't wear masks.

Even if you don't think the mask does shit, it's a mild inconvenience. Let's put the science aside - it makes a big difference to help your fellow citizens feel more comfortable, and doesn't create stupid divisions.

Freedom has nothing to do with this. The government uses it's coercive power to forcibly tax your money and redistribute it to people put out of a job by this. That's much more more invasive on my freedoms than a mask.

Plus, scientifically it seems to make sense - making this whole thing even more stupid.

President Trump recent rally in Tulsa. I do see 4 people wearing a mask.

It does seem to have something to it. Republican girls are prettier than Democrat girls. Unless you like pink hair, nose rings, stuff like that.
Now I'm in trouble.
