Biden Slams Trump After President Is Seen Wearing Face Mask for First Time: He 'Wasted Four Months

As President Donald Trump was photographed wearing a face mask in public for the first time on Saturday, former Vice President Joe Biden criticized him for waiting so long to follow the recommendations of public health experts.

Trump, 74, was photographed wearing a mask while visiting Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he met with wounded soldiers and coronavirus front line workers.

Before leaving the White House for the hospital, Trump — who has long resisted wearing masks in public, even taking jabs at his political opponents who have heeded the recommendation — told reporters that he did plan on wearing a mask during the outing.


“Donald Trump spent months ignoring the advice of medical experts and politicizing wearing a mask, one of the most important things we can do to prevent the spread of the virus," campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement to ABC News. “Rather than taking responsibility and leading, he wasted four months that Americans have been making sacrifices by stoking divisions and actively discouraging people from taking a very basic step to protect each other."

And when you do surrender, claim victory! And be as petulantly uncooperative as a whiny child can be!

Let the bugle-anus mouth be covered forever and a day.

We want this to be his official presidential portrait, but 5"x7" max size.

... a billion up to 1995, a underaged girl's virginity (she was just THIRTEEN)...

... added $5 Trillion to the national CC...

... and on... and on...

The fact that he's still in a position to waste more of the United States standing in the world is mind boggling. The Home of the Brave should be renamed the Home of the Weakling... because the Brave went away on vacation since January 2017.

RICO TRUMP AND HIS ACCOMPLICES!
