You can make fun of people in a good natured way. That is not what Trump is doing. He hold people up to public ridicule to demean them and make them look silly.He was mocking Biden in the first debate for wearing a mask. He's made fun of dozens of people who wear mask. Just recently it was Fox News Laura Ingraham, a reporter in white house, and people at his rally that wear masks. Considering the fact, that many people hate wearing a mask because they think it's ugly, makes them look silly, un-American, etc, it makes the campaign to get people wearing a mask more difficult which increases the transmission of the virus. Even worse, his actions has created a uprising among his supporters against scientists, local leaders, and local merchants who support mask wearing. He's made it such a political issue that people are claiming they don't work, are dangerous, and a mark of disloyalty to the president.
However, Trump has recently said mask wearers were patriotic, played down the effectiveness, told people they don't have wear them, and then his mouthpiece comes out says we urge everyone to wear a mask. Trump simple tells people what they want to hear or what he believes will help him gain favor with his audience. It seems irrelevant to him that what he says contradicts what he said only days ago.
What I have never understood is how his supporters can be so enamored by someone who will say anything to make his point with no regard for the truth, makes huge exaggerations, downplays serious issues, and out right lies if it fits his purpose. I understand the position of life long republicans' who would never vote for a democrat regardless of the alternative. But there are so many independent voters that just love this guy and they're voting for him, not against Biden. It just plain nuts.
Nice of you to make my point for me. Did you bother watching the video you posted? It's like I said, he made fun of Biden for wearing a mask when he was so far away from the next person and outside as well. I seen a Biden interview with him doing exactly that. If I recall, that reporter with the mask on was early when nobody was wearing a mask yet. Dozens of people? Can you find me what he said without taking it out of context?
I posted several videos and one link of Trump encouraging mask wearing. This is on top the countless times Dr. Fauci recommended them. I don't know what else you people expect. Trump is correct, you don't have to wear them. There is no law on the books that you do. If you want to wear one, fine. If you don't, then that's up to you.
So where are you getting your information from? CNN and like. They say, you believe without question. And why are they lying like that? Because they want to blame this problem on the President so their dementia candidate can steal the White House. Yes, Biden is losing Independents, but it's because of his packed court question he refuses to answer. It's because he said he would consider a national lockdown and a national mandate that everybody must wear masks. He's also turning off a lot of young people who typically vote Democrat. You can't tell these young partiers they are going to sit home and wear a mask if they step foot outside their door. They totally reject that message.
Then don't attack Trump. It's that simple. Anybody who does attack Trump knows he's going to strike back. It's like these clowns that get shot by the cops. If you don't want to get shot by the cops, just obey their commands and you'll be fine.
