tRump says some Americans wear coronavirus masks 'to signal disapproval of him'

[yortsed snacilbuper]

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 an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump also said a big issue he has with masks is that people fidget with them.

1. I don't. I guess I'm okay with Trump cult worshippers thining that. n/t

[Straw Man]

2. Applying that logic ...

... would coughing and sneezing in his face signal approval?

[Cha]

5. lol

[NurseJackie]

16. Absolutely... I encourage that behavior. It's a sign of respect and admiration among his cult.

18. +1

[Lock him up.]

3. That's it. He wants the (future) Jury to believe he became (and is) insane.

He's adding to the (deliberately fake) evidence of that every day, just in case he has to face prison time.

Lock him up in a padded cell then.

[unblock]

4. At least he's being blatantly open about making public health a political issue

[DanieRains]

6. I Wear A Mask Around Strangers Shopping Etc.

The fact I hate Trump's guts is not the reason....

7. Today I wore mine which has "tRump" with a red slash through

it, inside a red circle (done with big, fat Sharpies in fact) and got compliments from people inside Trader Joe's, CVS and Ralph's Supermarket. Yes Donny, we wear them to show our disapproval and they are even more popular when we do! PS Donny, the Sharpies work great!

I can't wear the "Lock Him Up" earrings I made over 3 years ago and were the only earrings I have worn for over 3 years until my mask straps made wearing them impossible. I got tons of compliments on them too.

8. Good! Then you fat ass I hope you see the oceans of people in the protests that hate your guts!!

[Hekate]

9. Attaboy. Ramp up the culture wars as much as you possibly can!

The apricot hell-beast has been lusting for blood this whole time and he does not care who dies.

10. trump is trying to use wearing mask as something about him when it isn't

Wearing a mask greatly reduces the spread of this very active virus , and claiming its about him is more propaganda from trump. If trump supporters want to put themselves at greater risk getting it by listening to trump and not wear one, we'll soon see as they spread it more and get it themselves, then see what they think about trump. Mask prevent the spread of this virus , trump doesn't. trump caused the mess we'e in now , no one else did. Having a spread the virus rally by trump should make it clear he does not care about you getting this deadly virus , and spreading his propaganda is more important to him then your health.

11. Narcissism. nt

[Doreen]

12. Hey, trump!

Everything is not about you but now that you have said something I want a mask that says "I only wear this to piss off trump."

[get the red out]

13. Gives new meaning to

I live to piss off Trump!

[LastDemocratInSC]

14. He is always projecting.

He doesn't wear a mask in public, or on TV, where he could serve as an example of responsibility to his base, because he has contempt for the rest of us.

[duforsure]

15. His own health experts are telling him and us it greatly decreases the spread of this virus

So he's telling his own supporters its ok to not wear a mask that could prevent them from getting a deadly and very active virus , and promotes its spread. Who supports his nonsense? He's telling people the virus is no longer the threat , a blatant lie, while promoting large crowds spreading this virus is ok, and that is dangerous and irresponsible. People who believe this BS propaganda trumps promoting are already sick , and are becoming spreaders for trump going to this virus rally for trump. States that allow him to do this will see voter black lash a lot more than they think for trump spreading the virus in their state allowing these to take place now. He will just deny any outbreaks he's willing to cause. We have a president promoting the spread of a deadly virus, and people support someone who does that is crazy.

23. Good summary. I would add that it encourages more

confrontation between his supporters and mask wearers.

[Renew Deal]

17. And therefore anyone wearing a mask in Oklahoma is signaling disapproval

[Danascot]

19. They're planning to distribute masks to attendees at Trump's rally

So that must be a test?

[Renew Deal]

20. The peer pressure by the true believers to take them off the mask will be too much

[Thekaspervote]

24. He hates his true believers...obviously

[tanyev]

21. Dang, I'm gonna wear a mask 24/7 now!

[yortsed snacilbuper]

25. Ditto.

[MoonRiver]

22. Unbelievable! Oh wait...
