Donald Trump Slammed For Not Wearing a Mask!
May 07, 2020
US President Donald Trump is being slammed online for not setting a great example during the Covid-19 pandemic, after he failed to wear a mask, even after being recommended by his administration. Ironically, there was no shortage of masks available since the POTUS was touring a Honeywell plant that makes N95 respirators for healthcare workers.
Trump walked through the plant watching masks being made, with the Guns N’ Roses cover of ‘Live and Let Die’ being played in the Arizona factory.
As per the reports, senior White House officials also did not wear the masks when the Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommended for occasions when social distancing isn’t possible. Factory workers, members of the press, and other support staff were seen wearing masks. There was also a sign that indicated “Face mask required in this area.”

On social media, people talked about how he has a disregard for rules and safety precautions. Netizens pointed out the fact that the president and vice-president failed to lead by example. Others found their choice of music hilarious.
“Do you know where you are? You’re in quarantine, baby...”

BREAKING: Trump didn’t wear a mask and was shaking hands after he landed in Phoenix for his coronavirus propaganda events. Trump should lead by example, but he’s not a leader.

I didn’t think someone could top Pence not wearing a mask to Mayo Clinic. Then Trump didn’t wear a mask to a mask factory. https://t.co/hy0JIPQyL6

Well of course he didn’t cover his face or wear a mask. That would have messed up his full face bronzer.

Music was definitely planned out. Cheers to the workers.

No better example of how the rules (it's mandatory to wear a mask in the Honeywell plant) don't apply to totalitarian leaders and their sycophant minions. Not too subtle message to all the #Covidiots that it's quite acceptable not wear masks; doesn't give a damn about real people

Notice that Trump has on protective eyewear. But still he refuses to wear a mask. He thinks wearing a mask would make him look weak. He wouldn’t look like the God-King he thinks he is. He is the ultimate narcissist. https://t.co/t7ziBepd2H

Trump finally stepped out of White House this week and said: Americans should begin returning to their everyday lives even if it leads to more sickness and death from the pandemic. He encouraged Americans to think of themselves as “warriors” as they consider leaving their homes, a tacit acknowledgment of deep public reservations about re-opening the country too soon.
