The prez doesn't really need a mask, not with all the Lysol, bleach, and hydroxychloroquinine in his system.

(7,596 posts)If their disgusting shitfuck of a president never has to wear them, no reason they should feel they have to wear them either.
Fuck Ford. We can always expect Trump to never do the right thing in any given situation, but Ford is culpable as well for allowing this.

(1,752 posts)credible threats of harm being made to ones self and ones family..... I really, really don't understand why anyone would have to backpedal re: this, or anything.
Or why repubs have to retire or be pushed out, instead of staying and fighting for whats right. WTF is going on?

(1,207 posts)It's pretty simple- he refuses to wear on because of his orange-y makeup.
