President Trump on Monday tweeted for the first time a photograph of himself wearing a mask and described the practice as a patriotic act amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“We are United in our effort to defeat the Invisible China Virus, and many people say that it is Patriotic to wear a face mask when you can’t socially distance,” Trump tweeted Monday afternoon, referring to the coronavirus, which the president regularly points out originated in Wuhan, China.

“There is nobody more Patriotic than me, your favorite President!” he added.

[llmart]

5. So now that his poll numbers are in the toilet...

he's going to pretend he was "into" masks right from the start.

Fuck off you piece of crap.

[torius]

[Dem2theMax]

26. It needs to be a dry-cleaning bag.

[Docreed2003]

7. Screw him

He could have done this months ago but he chose to be a chump, calling wearing a mask being "politically correct"

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

11. He sees profit and free advertising in mask sales

They will come out with red white blue trump masks for sale and those trumpers will gladly pay to play.

[Lock him up.]

25. Criminal individual 1 also proclaimed the coronavirus is a Democratic HOAX.

RICO TRUMPS & ACCOMPLICES

8. I would like to correct part of rump's ignorant statement on being the favorite PINO...it's more...

correctly stated as 'being the unfavorite president' ... and he's only patriotic when it pays him to be, and he's forced to act like one (a patriot) all of the time unless he's getting some kind of kickback...

[NCDem47]

10. So, how is THIS gonna play with MAGATS?

They drank the Kool-Aid big time on not wearing masks.

He’ll be two-faced to completely different audiences. It doesn’t matter to him that he’ll be recorded giving conflicting messages.

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Mock him. Say he looks like he's sniffing a jockstrap.

He hates being ridiculed.

[MrsMatt]

28. No, tell him he looks good in it.

If he regulary wears a mask, maybe the mask holes who refuse will follow suit.

[area51]

30. +1 n/t

[sakabatou]

13. And he just HAD to get one with the presidential seal

[dhill926]

14. about a hundred thousand lives too late, don't ya think....

fucking asshole...

[yaesu]

15. comeback to any trumpster who refuses a mask, hey, your president just tweeted that you're not

a patriot if you don't wear a mask.

[nykym]

16. All I can say is

MASKHOLE

[qwlauren35]

17. I may not like the president, but

Well, it's about damned time...

I'm glad, for the sake of the American people, that he finally put it on.

I want to see him wear it ALL THE DAMNED TIME. EVERYWHERE HE GOES.

PRESS CONFERENCES. INTERVIEWS. PHOTO OPS.

If he FINALLY saves a few lives, it is a good thing.

Some DUers have MAGA relatives, whom they love. They should not have to suffer.

[LudwigPastorius]

18. #1: All viruses are invisible, unless your eyes were bionically replaced with electron microscopes.

...and, #2:

Whoop-de-fucking-do!

Are we all supposed to heap praise on him, like a toddler who finally made a poopie in the toilet, 4 months and 143,000 dead later?

Eat me, you thuggish, orange blob.

[DallasNE]

19. "Many People Say"

Is Trump one of the many? He doesn't say. About 140,000 dead people too late at that.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. His expression shows he's pissed and put it on under duress. . . . nt

[Talitha]

21. Where was that mask 100,000 deaths ago, you damned moron?!?!

[groundloop]

24. EXACTLY. If the stupid motherfucker had shown an ounce of leadership......

in February and March we wouldn't be where we are today. ALL he had to do was appear with a mask and tell the country this is what everyone needs to be doing to get the pandemic under control. But he chose, as always, to pout and make everything about him.

[CountAllVotes]

22. "There is nobody more Patriotic than me, your favorite President!"

This is a picture of dump from the other day when he wore one briefly.

[Grokenstein]

23. "There is nobody more Patriotic than me, your favorite President!" he added.

If we were discussing ANY OTHER PRESIDENT, real or asterisked, this would be the moment even the dullest of us would realize we were reading something from TheOnion.

Because no one could possibly be such an oafish buffoon.

Because the nation wouldn't tolerate such an oafish buffoon for a second.

27. This is from the Walter Reed Visit

but still on point.

To the Editor:

Re “At a Hospital, Trump Finally Dons a Mask” (news article, July 12):

We have so infantile a president that it becomes world news when he, at last, in mid-July wears a mask to protect himself and others from coronavirus. It’s like news within a family when a toddler is “finally potty trained!” There’s a shared “whew!” of great relief felt by parents and caregivers.

In this time of huge numbers of illnesses and deaths — more dead now from coronavirus than we lost in Vietnam, and we’re not nearly at the end of it — this president willfully misbehaves.

So we should rejoice that President Trump is finally wearing a prophylactic mask? Really, God help us.

29. Didn't know I could despise him more

…..than I did yesterday. But I can see now there is no bottom to it.

[trusty elf]

31. ....

[robbob]

32. "Many people say it's patriotic to wear a mask"???

WTAF??? No you colossal moron, DOCTORS and SCIENTIST and VIROLOGISTS who are trained in the study of infectious diseases say wearing a mask will help slow or stop the spread of COVID which has killed more then 140,000 Americans to date.

It has nothing to do with being patriotic, you ninny.
