For Americans who don’t want to catch coronavirus or spread it to others, a mask is necessary protection when social distancing is not possible. For Trump and his allies, however, it’s a symbol of the nanny state, some never-quite-defined assault on American freedoms. “They’ll say this whole mask thing is settled science just like they do with climate change,” Fox News host Laura Ingraham said on her program last month. “Of course, it’s not and they know it.”

What's not opinion for opinion is …. Ingraham is bat shit crazy. Even Birx says it's proven that wearing masks will lessen the corvid spread. My opinion is that it's great for Analog Joe to try and set an example. God knows Trump's examples are about bullying innocent people and encouraging incivility … because that's what he ran on.
But, it's also pretty solid science that if you're outside and six feet or more from people (besides your household) you don't present much of a danger to anyone. Joe and Jill should borrow Liz Warren's adorable lab, and take him for a walk .. and be seen. When restaurants open, maybe they could take a chance of "a date night."
Trump wants to run on "macho' (the OP link) when he wouldn't last ten seconds in a real knock down, and he's a walking ad for a cardiovascular event. I know people recovering from strokes who do more exercise. But I think most voters will just settle for someone who, while not exciting or even inspiring, is not acting insane. Be Normal Analog Joe.

Team Trump Wants to Turn Biden Into A Mask-Wearing Weenie
The president’s advisers are apparently “relishing” the contrast between his mask-less bravado and the ex veep. But for Trump’s strategy to pay off, Americans will have to ignore their own lived experience.
