President Donald Trump drew criticism this week when he declined to wear a face mask while touring a Honeywell plant in Arizona that is manufacturing medical equipment to handle the COVID-19 pandemic.
But even though footage from Trumps tour of the plant clearly showed that he at no time wore a face mask, the president tried to claim he did when asked about it on Wednesday.
Reuters White House correspondent Jeff Mason questioned Trump about his decision to not wear a mask at the plant, and the president insisted that he wore one when no one was looking.
I asked Donald Trump why he didnt wear a mask at the Honeywell plant yesterday, Mason writes on Twitter. He said he had worn one. I said we did not see him wearing one. He said he wore one backstage and the Honeywell chief said it was not necessary to wear in the plant.

"Do you believe me or your lying eyes?" His cult will believe him. This is getting scarier by the day.
On edit: I also didn't realize that there were "backstages" in factories.

(11,725 posts)For Trump everything is about showbiz so anything not speaking to the cameras is "backstage". He is ridiculous. He doesn't want to wear a mask because that would mean he is admitting that situations are not safe, and it also implies weakness to do so.
Idiot.
