Measures to protect Trump from coronavirus scale up even as he seeks to move onAs he seeks to insert rival Joe Biden's health into the presidential campaign, Trump has voiced escalating concern about how it would appear if he contracted coronavirus and has insisted on steps to protect himself, even as he refuses to wear a mask in public and agitates for large campaign rallies where the virus could spread.
Edit: I had assumed the irony would be evident to everyone, but I guess not. The point is that Trump is concerned about how it will look if he contracts a virus that would likely kill, or at least severely impair, him. Someone needs to inform him that if he doesn't like masks, he's really not going to like a ventilator.

Of course, others have to obey measures to protect him. He doesn't give a shit about anyone else

Someone needs to tell Trump that it would IMPROVE his image if he wore a mask.

For someone so consumed by how things look, he is blind to how bad he looks to anyone with eyes and the most rudimentary observational skills.
As his supporters have to waive their right to sue the campaign if they catch it, I would bet that he would sue the staff member that gave it to him in a heartbeat.

It would at least cover up a bigly portion of that mug.
