Trump has notably been defiant when it comes to wearing face masks during the pandemic. On Friday, he visited a Ford plant in Michigan that is now producing personal protective equipment, but he did not wear a mask when talking with reporters. He was photographed wearing a mask with the presidential seal on it backstage though. Trump told reporters he would not wear the mask in front of cameras because he "didn't want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it."

On a day of mourning heroes, the Biden's respectfully wear black mourning clothes & masks.
Trump wears his campaign blue suit & red tie. Melania wears a white coat? Neither respecting the dead who sacrificed. Neither wears a mask with respect for the living either.

During a Yahoo News virtual town hall, Biden criticized Trump for not wearing a mask. "I got my mask," Biden said last week as he held a mask up. "I can't walk outside my house [without wearing one] because the Secret Service is there. They're all wearing their masks. They're all getting tested. Come on."

prevnextI know it’s #MemorialDay2020 but it’s not a funeral. The Biden’s looked silly in masks & downright depressing in all black. @POTUS wore a red tie and @FLOTUS looked stunning. Today we honor, not mourn. Dems see (are) the very worst of everything. Trump’s optimism is what we need.

Wearing a mask and how you honor Memorial Day.
