“They said this day would never come”—Barack Obama once said that, referring to his historic victory in the 2008 Iowa caucuses. But I also said it—aloud to myself, when I saw this photo of President Donald Trump wearing a mask on a visit to Walter Reed Army Medical Center on Saturday:

For months, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local governing bodies have advised Americans to wear masks indoors and in situations where social distancing is impossible, in order to slow the spread of Coronavirus. But Trump has made a point of not wearing one (and of not social-distancing, for that matter). Unlike you, he gets tested regularly, as do those around him, but—like Gerald Ford getting his flu shot—it’s the symbolism that matters as much as anything.

One might think wearing a mask in front of photographers for the first time in July would be a source of tremendous embarrassment, like realizing 40 minutes into your commute that you are not wearing pants. CNN reported that Trump’s aides had spent months trying to convince him to wear a mask. But when the first images dropped, Trump’s campaign orbit was on-message: He looks totally badass. And also: the presidential election is now over.

1. These sycophants are like middle schoolers.

Every last one of them is silly and immature.

Tweeting in tandem that the election is now over because Trump wore a mask in a hospital is pathetically transparent and contrived. These people are grown men who never matured past the tweens.

No offense to middle schoolers. I am certain that many are mature for their years and would never act like little sheep.

3. keep thinking that...

[JHB]

4. Not only that, but it was as much a photo-op prop as his upside-down bible...

...as were the hospitalized people he went to be seen going to see.

5. It's no wonder

why the rest of the world wants nothing to do with the U.S.A, we have nothing but IDIOTS running our our country! The only one who likes what is going on here is PUTIN!

6. He behaved like a four year old pulling it off his nose. Bugging the shit out of me anyone is giving

him an iota of credit instead of blasting him.

12. He should have worn a mask long ago.

All he did was show that Biden would be a vast improvement over him.

[stillcool]

13. pretty sick how desperate they are...

for anything that can be viewed as a positive.

[Denzil_DC]

14. They're just desperate to reinforce the message that Trump needs to wear a mask.

The messages are for Trump's consumption. Like praising a dog effusively for not messing on the rug.

[Hekate]

15. He wears the mask that grins and lies

I apologize for the inappropriate usage of this line, but regarding this orange white man it just keeps haunting me

Trump campaign workers ducking wearing masks over fears of mockery: ‘You get made fun of’

According to Politico, Trump campaign officials at the re-election headquarters in Arlington, Virginia are too embarrassed to follow the president’s own CDC guidelines about wearing masks and practicing physical distancing — because the president himself has done so much to politicize the coronavirus pandemic.

“The campaign’s headquarters — located on the 14th floor of an Arlington, Va., office building that shares space with multiple businesses — is normally packed with dozens of staffers, often sitting in close proximity to conduct phone calls and other urgent campaign business, said three people with knowledge of its operations,” wrote Dan Diamond. “But the office was shut down for its first deep cleaning in weeks after a senior campaign official tested positive for the virus. The decision to conduct the cleaning came after two months of flouting the Trump administration’s own public health guidance: There are no face coverings or temporary barriers between desks at headquarters, and leaders have limited efforts to implement social distancing.”

One person at the headquarters told Politico, “You get made fun of, if you wear a mask. There’s social pressure not to do it.” Others have said that campaign staff are discouraged from even telling their colleagues if they were exposed to the virus because of the negative press attention surrounding the advance staffers in Tulsa, Oklahoma who tested positive ahead of Trump’s rally. Instead, these staff are encouraged to “quietly self-quarantine” while keeping it a secret.

Golly gish-gosh! It really makes you look like the Lone Ranger! Don't you think it makes him looks like the Lone Ranger? It's so very manly! It flatters you: it surely does! Don't you think it flatters him? It makes you look so strong and Presidential! I do believe this is finally the moment when all Americans realize what a great leader you are and unite behind you! And that Presidential seal just shouts what a wise and wonderful man you are! The polls show your vision sweeping up hearts and minds all across our nation! I can't imagine anybody voting against you when they see you in that mask! Can you imagine anybody voting against him after this? I can't
