US President Donald Trump, long opposed to wearing a mask in public, says he likes face coverings and they make him look like the Lone Ranger.

Mr Trump also maintained that face coverings do not need to become mandatory to curb Covid-19's spread.

He again predicted the infection would "disappear," as the US hit a new record high of 52,000 virus cases in a day.

His remarks to Fox News come a day after a top Republican called on Mr Trump to wear a mask as an example.

5. He said that he actually looked good in the mask.

He doesn't believe that for a second. He still thinks it makes him look weak. Wanna bet that he got wind of people saying that Biden looked badass in his mask and shades and he stole that for himself.

16. Thats right; he did say he wore a black one. Funny, thats what BIDEN wears.

6. He's actually been pro-mask since at least May 11

as far as people around him

7. Trump on Wednesday: "Masks are good."

In the same league as the Faber College motto (starts at 1:50):

8. I had to check to make sure this wasn't the onion

Who would have imagined living in a world where the president was insane, and no one could stop him? We live in that world, it seems.

10. He'll say anything. He doesn't stand for anything but his own interests.

He doesn't believe anything other than what hitler taught him in My New Order, an analysis of hitler's political speeches in English that he keeps in a special cabinet by his bed.

[Javaman]

everything he says is a lie.

this is his attempt at trying to look proactive with the very least amount of effort.

19. Karl Rove has spoken

So, it has been discovered who chump will listen to. Karl Rove has arisen from his rest out of unholy soil and mentioned chump might lose the election due to his lack of response to covid. Not for the racial division, or him ignoring bounties on American troops, or stealing elections, or his trade wars with China, but his response to covid.

We have to get rid of him!
