Maybe Trump Will Start Wearing A Mask ...

[Axtremus]

... now that Sean Hannity and Fox and Friends say it’s good to wear masks:

That's probably a bridge too far but the mere fact of Hannity and the other Trump surrogates on Fox talking them up is good news.

I can see Trump talking them up though once it gets through his skull that it's in his personal interest to do so.

My own supposition is that he's too afraid of the virus. Not wearing a mask is approach avoidance. If he closes his eyes, the monster won't see him.

[jon-nyc]

Nah. He makes everyone in the oval office wear one. My guess is it boils down to:

1. He thinks he looks stronger w/o it,
2. He controls his exposure in other ways, and
3. He doesn't want to screw up his makeup.

[Catseye3]

He makes everyone else wear one to protect himself.

I can get behind the makeup thing, though.

In enterprise of martial kind,
When there was any fighting,
He led his regiment from behind —
He found it less exciting

That makes no sense in this situation, whatsoever...

I feel like it's way too late for him to start wearing a mask. What has changed over the last 5 months? It would be like admitting he was wrong, which is highly unlikely.

I just like posting Gilbert and Sullivan

I probably should have gone with the Modern Major General.

He was encouraging face coverings in early April. He was attacked for suggesting that if you don’t have a mask, use a scarf or other face covering.

There’s plenty to attack Trump over, but it shouldn’t be this...

I think it is valid to attack President Trump on this. If he was encouraging it in April, why has not he been seen in one (or only very rarely). He does have to set the example.

Exactly, very poor leadership on the mask front.

Joe Biden held his first press briefing in 3 months today. He let it slip that he had been given a list of specific reporters he was to call on who had prearranged questions they would ask. Even with those presaged questions, Biden was confused, unable to put a sentence together, and looked like he was going to drop dead from standing.

This man is who would be president if Trump loses. Yet here you are, kissing and moaning about whether or not Trump wears a mask...

And you expect to be taken serious?????

DAMN!!

I have said this before. The best thing that Vice President Biden can do at this point in the campaign is to do nothing. If President Trump showed some discipline, he would be 15 point ahead of Vice President Biden.

The best campaigner right now for Vice President Biden is President Trump.

[Larry]

It has nothing to do with discipline. The democrats are running a senile old man for president, the press is propping him up, and a large portion of the people in this country don't have enough sense to see through it.

An example of that is saying just keep the senile old fool hid and he will do better. Don't hide the bastard, put him out there so people can see that he couldn't find his own shoes.

[taiwan_girl]

@Larry Up to this point (and I know the election is still a long way off), do you think that President Trump is doing a good job running his reelection campaign?

[Larry]

I think the democrats along with the help of the media are doing a good job of keeping people with soft brains focused on the wrong things, and I think just like with any other election if you peak too soon you lose. Stop thinking about how he's running his campaign and pay attention to what the democrats will do to this country if the soft brains continue to not see it.

You should be a politician. You did a good job of completely avoiding my question.

But I still like you lots!! :woman-heart-man:

[Larry]

No, I answered your question.
