The news isn't that President Horrid deigned to wear a mask...



Of course he should be wearing a mask while visiting a hospital. But knowing him it was either forced upon him cause of the optics of NOT wearing one in a medical setting, or he was freaking out about catching germs...it was certainly not about protecting the sick and vulnerable soldiers from any germs he might be carrying - after all he does not care about American soldiers dying in any other context, does he? The most troubling thing about the visit to wounded soldiers is that he is unable to recognise how fucked up that would look when he is allowing his Russian Mob Boss to kill at will. His inability to think and act in a reasonable way is all part of his psychopathy.

After all America did vote in a twofer...


Graphic mine

And that is before we get into narcissistic personality disorder...It was never going to end well, indeed.

His refusal to wear a mask and his presence among more than a few infected persons was very bad for the VA

Let's be real. When he looks at them he sees rubles. There's a reason he's done nothing about Russia and it's probably clear as a bell in the tax documents he's fighting to keep hidden. Putin owns him.

Gee I missed my nazi rally. Wonder how I can get a emotional fix? I know, I’ll stop by Walter Reed, everyone will be so happy to see me and even if they aren’t they’ll all have to salute me.

on two fronts combined into one photo op.

Make himself appear to set an example for wearing masks during a pandemic.

And appear to actually give a damn about our military.

What a guy.

Donnie's the big brave boy. He is wearing a scary mask, covering his AWESOMELY handsome face! Seems his aides have to pamper him like a toddler. What a disaster of a "leader" he is and always will be. Are the patients given a choice as to whether they want to meet him or not? As though they haven't already suffered enough. Did he call his good friend Vlad afterwards?

That's the Question of the Day.

I'd be royally pissed to be subjected to his presence at my bedside without consent, but patients are probably not given the right to object.

It looks like they had to make him a custom mask in an attempt to cover his neck wattles.
But it still ain't long enough.
Them wattles are out flappin' in the breeze.
He looks ridiculous.

Cost 20 cents to make, paid $150 each so the family could make some more money off the government.
