Inappropriate, harmful, and dangerous.

The CDC made a statement about wearing masks. They thought it would help prevent the spread of this virus. They recommended that people wear masks in public.

Donald Trump made a point to everyone that it was only a suggestion and that it was an individual choice. He said he personally was not going to wear one but it was an individual choice.

Why would he say that? He is supposed to be the President of the United States. Why would he encourage people to follow his example when the CDC thinks it would help in controlling the spread of this terrible virus?

If he does not plan on wearing a mask, then let him. But don't encourage others to follow the lead of their hero. That is reckless and dangerous.

1. I agree, and this is also quite.........."STUPID'........................

2. Not everyone wears heavy layers of makeup that will rub off

If a person is not someone who does, they should follow CDC guidance.

3. TP45 also looked directly at the eclipse...he's a moron.

4. Because he wants people to die, the faster the better.

The quicker this is over, the faster he thinks life can go back to normal(it won't).
I realize it is horrifying that anyone would think this way, yet..I can't help but believe this is exactly where his mind is.

5. Trump is a combination of dysfunctional parents.

Mom says "Eat your broccoli!" and Dad says "You don't have to eat your broccoli. Dig into the chocolate cream pie!"

When he says he's not going to wear a mask, there are two messages: 1) I'm tough to be immune to pandemic viruses, and 2) I support the libertarian spirit of my base who distrusts government directives.

6. The devil speaks through Donald

He is Satan's mouthpiece. The devil don't wear 3M

7. And here I thought trump was a germophobe.

My guess: when he's not at one of those press conferences/campaign rallies with the cameras on, he's masked up like a motherfucker---and is depriving some emergency medical personnel in NYC the protective items they so badly need.

9. This is the ultimate proof that the claim is complete, unmitigated bullshit.

"Trump is a germophobe", my fat ass. Just another lie from a compulsive liar.

8. Image. For tRump, it's all about image.....

fake or not. Like his fake golf game, fake businesses, fake gold paint on his properties, etc, but the image of grandeur must be there.

A mask would destroy his bugle-mouth sparkly-toothed golden boy personal image......

10. He intends to kill off a bunch of us

and if his minions die, so what? By then he intends to own we libs and have us in stranglehold causing us to become enslaved... which is what he wants, people to suffer in all ways.

11. The Con Man, Liar and Cheat is always playing to his base ( Michael Cohen's description)

We all know he uses the daily corona virus briefing as a substitute for one of his rally's that plays to his 5th ave groupie base ( the ones that would still vote for him if he shot someone on 5th ave)

So as someone said above, in his incessantly manipulative mind, he may have thought a tough guy image coupled with his resistance to government control would appeal to the 5th ave groupie morons.

13. Biggest Concern

Yeah, that’s our biggest worry that the Russians will throw the election for the stable genius

[librechik]

12. He doesn't have to worry about his base dying off. Putin's hackers will get him a new one.
