Trump doesn't wear coronavirus mask in public at Ford plant

Source: CNBC

By Dan Mangan & Steve Kopack

President Donald Trump on Thursday did not wear a mask for coronavirus protection during the public part of touring a Ford Motor Co. plant in Michigan, despite a state law and company policy requiring facial coverings there.

Trump, who has consistently refused to wear a mask in public, was visiting Ford’s Rawsonville Components Plant in Ypsilanti, which has a policy of requiring masks there. The plant is currently making ventilators in response to the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States.

Video showed Trump on the factory floor talking to Ford executives who were wearing masks.

“Not necessary,” Trump said, when a reporter asked why he was not wearing a facial covering.

It covers up that orange tainted skin and the purple circles around the eyes aren't as obvious.

It distracts from the messed up lack of hair too.

A win-win all the way!

It definitely gets rid of that out-of-the-swap look, yep.

with the Presidential Seal on it, didn't he? Well of course he did! At least I think that's what's on the left-lower side of it. Whatever, it's a vast improvement over his usual ugly mug. I wish they'd come up with one that covered his entire head, optimally made of plastic with tight elastic around the bottom.

That's what a military academy high school taught Trump.

He got a medal for it.

Neatness.

The medal for basket-weaving probably helps when he combs his hair.

And a hearty "fuck you" to the sniveling cowards at Ford who backed down. Michigan AG Dana Nessel has more intestinal fortitude than all of you combined. He is nobody's emperor. Stop licking his balls.
