...it's like I say about folks who resist wearing one in the store where there's law (in our state) and onus, it's a certaintly that out of public scrutiny, where no one is demanding he follow his own CDC recommendations, he's not protecting himself or anyone around him.

walk down a ramp, so no big surprise that he can't figure out how to use a mask properly.

Donnie's remaining followers may continue to swoon, but over 200,000 dead Americans won't impress the rest of us as more and more of us learn of people we knew who died of the Corona virus.

One of the bitter lessons I learned in 2016 was that some people are unreachable, at least by the means most of us have at our disposal: appeals to reason and common sense, patriotism, self-interest, their higher selves, and even explicit directions in holy books doesn't get through to them. Some of them are only going to wise up when they get hit with a metaphorical two by four and intense personal grief and sorrow. And perhaps not even then

has learned his lesson! Please let this be the moment Trump becomes a great President! Surely the fact that he is now wearing a mask will make everyone see the glorious possibilities of another four years of GOP control! I feel certain that everyone must be inspired when they see Trump wearing a mask! Maybe we will see Ivanka and Jared wearing masks too! It sends such a strong message that happy days are here again! Now we can re-open the economy! Hallelujah! Praise our chosen one!"

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/trump-aide-jason-miller-allegedly-admits-hiring-prostitutes-2019-7%3famp

"A former aide to President Donald Trump said in court documents unsealed last week that he hired prostitutes and visited "Asian themed" massage parlors for sexual services.

Jason Miller made the statements in a deposition in Washington, DC, on May 30 as part of his defamation lawsuit against the media company Gizmodo. The deposition was first reported by Mediaite on Tuesday.

Miller accused Gizmodo of defaming him in a report on an allegation, made by his former girlfriend AJ Delgado last year in a sealed filing in a custody battle for their son, that he had given a dancer at a strip club in Florida abortion drugs in a smoothie after getting her pregnant.

......
In the deposition, Miller said he had affairs with two campaign staffers, including Delgado, while on the campaign trail and while his wife was pregnant with their second child.

He described "other indiscretions," including visiting "Asian themed" massage parlors in New York, Washington, Miami, and Virginia."....(more)

Although Jason Miller withdrew as Trump's communications director when all of this started to hit the fan, his rapist boss has rehired him and listens to him on a daily basis.

"Besides Fox News and the CIA, President Trump now has another morning briefer, according to Republican sources: Jason Miller, a new top official at Trump's campaign, gives him a fill on what's driving the political day.

Why it matters: Trump, who prizes familiarity, is comfortable with Miller. Aides hope that if Trump is reassured that his team has a plan, he'll be less likely to try to take every element of the campaign into his own hands.

Miller was a Trump whisperer during the 2016 campaign: The two had early-morning conversations about the Trump Tower team's battle plan.Miller listens as much as he talks. He reads Trump’s verbal cues, and knows how to use gossip and news to get Trump's thinking about different issues.He then translates Trump-speak into campaign action.

Miller, 45, joined the campaign this month as a
senior adviser and is one of the most powerful officials, directing strategy while campaign manager Brad Parscale runs the campaign machine.
.......

On recent mornings, Miller's prescriptions have ricocheted around Trumpworld through text messages he blasts to conservative influencers and Trump surrogates, including Trump's message for the day, planned hits on Biden and "Quick Bites" from coverage."...(more)
