"SNIP.....

The Trump campaign will be providing face masks and hand sanitizer for all attendees at an upcoming rally Saturday in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

The campaign said in an email on Sunday that attendees are "strongly encouraged" to wear the masks.

Why it matters: The campaign's first coronavirus-era rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was notable for its lack of masks.


......SNIP"

1. Should be mandatory..You know his bots will not wear one.

[fleur-de-lisa]

2. Dumpus will contradict it within a couple days.

[Rhiannon12866]

3. If he wears one as an example, his cult will follow

Like that's going to happen...

[torius]

4. Now that Kimberly has Trumpvirus...

but yes Dump will contradict it soon, it's just part of the gaslighting to tell people to wear masks then take it back.

5. another fricken rally?? eom

8. My reaction, as well.

Herman Cain in the hospital in serious condition
pseudo-daughter-in-law positive; driving 25 hours in a car with first idiot son.
half a dozen or more secret service employees.

it would be nice to have a president capable of learning from his mistakes.

10. It's bizarro. I see and hear and living it, but feel it's not really reality...

[orwell]

6. Don't take away...

...my freedumb!

Masks are for girly men!

20. Yup, only cowards and girly-men wear masks

If that was true, the draft-dodging-Soldier-hater president would have long ago started to wear one. He’s as wimpy and scared as they get.

I really don’t understand trumpublicans stance on wearing masks. They’re scared of imaginary terrorists, criminals, and tyrannical governments and need to open cary assault rifles everywhere so they can feel safe, but the very real threat of the pandemic around them they ignore.

7. Alittle late there Donny. This won't turn your numbers around but hope they wear them finally

[soothsayer]

9. Looks like thunderstorms in the forecast for his outdoor rally

Bwahaha

[sprinkleeninow]

11. goody gumdrops! 😆 i begged for rain in dc last nite, but not to be.

[soothsayer]

12. Yeah didn't work out in Tulsa either but turned out ok ha

[sprinkleeninow]

13. Yah, Tulsa nose-dived pretty much sans Mother Nature! I'm lovin' it.

[soothsayer]

14. Last night in dc too

Small crowd (which I’m happy about for Covid reasons—- but also because size matters to him)

[sprinkleeninow]

21. Yah, also a tad of a bust. 🤣

[brush]

15. After 130,000 dead they finally want masks.

[LanternWaste]

16. Masks have become a physical symbol of his personal failure and bankrupt administration

Idiot trump is hemorrhaging voters and support. My guess is an aide (or a few aides) is doing this, and doing this without Idiot trump's knowledge so his campaign staff can point to at least one concrete form of mitigation they took as the campaign season starts this fall.

Idiot trump is a guy who will dig in so deep, he gets buried in his own denials. He'd refuse any staff member doing this if he knew about it. Masks are now a physical symbol of both his personal failure and failed presidency-- I just can't see Idiot trump allowing his rallies to acknowledge his dismal breakdown in response to the virus by encouraging wearing them.

I'm guessing by Tuesday he tweets something implicitly distancing him from this decision and if the response he reads is positive, he'll go so far as to encourage his rallies not to wear them... but still provide them for campaign cover.

[sprinkleeninow]

22. * continues to figure out which end is up...eom

[moondust]

17. Karen is not gonna be happy about this.

She berates a "stupid" Sky News reporter for wearing a mask, saying that wearing masks is a "false narrative" and by wearing a mask you are furthering the agenda of the "deep state" and keeping everybody in a state of terror.

Karen in orange shirt comes on around 3:20.

Story:
We were shouted at for wearing masks. This is why the situation in the US is so dire

18. Better yet, stay home.

Who in their right mind would want to waste their time on the world's foremost laughing stock?
