Trump says some Americans wear coronavirus masks 'to signal disapproval of him'
Source: CNBC
President Donald Trump said some Americans might wear face masks not as a way to prevent the spread of coronavirus but as a way to "signal disapproval of him."
In a wide-ranging interview with the Wall Street Journal that published Thursday, Trump also said a big issue he has with masks is that people fidget with them.
"They put their finger on the mask, and they take them off, and then they start touching their eyes and touching their nose and their mouth," he told the Journal. "And then they don't know how they caught it?"
Trump has often been seen without a mask despite recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization that people wear them as a way to slow the spread of the virus. Scientists say the virus can spread through respiratory droplets that pass when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Studies suggest the masks may serve as a helpful barrier.

Because not only will it make you stupid in the eyes of the rest of the world it proves yet again what a miserable COWARD you are. Just go back to your bunker and stay there until January 2021 when you will no longer be anything other than "President Failure"!!!!!

This is such a strange article. I knew that the republicans were making mask wearing a partisan issue, but now theyre treating masks as a symbol of disapproval of Trump?
What a trashy narcissist.

(11,885 posts)His medical experts including Dr Fauci have told us t helps prevent the spread of this still very active and deadly virus . So trumps saying don't wear a mask, help spread this virus for me, because that's exactly what he's doing . He wants you to risk yours and everyone around you and family and friends lives for his political gathering , which his medical experts were completely against, but he didn't listen to them. REALLY! You got to be kidding right. You want to risk your life to see and hear him lie to you like this?
