So he refused to wear a mask at the plant

[malaise]

I'd have cancelled the visit - that is all

[Johnny2X2X]

1. Was it canceled?

Local news says he's there now.

[SoonerPride]

2. well of course he did. he is a fuckstick.

[Celerity]

4. GMTA, lol

[Celerity]

3. he is the archetypal fuckstick shitehawk piece of dogshit bellend

[SoonerPride]

6. indeed GMTA

[Celerity]

34. +100000

[Bradshaw3]

13. Couldn't have said it better myself

[lunatica]

33. You're so loquacious!

[niyad]

5. "No damned woman is going to tell ME what to do"

[smirkymonkey]

7. What a raging fuckwit!

So what happened? How did things turn out?

[JudyM]

8. He objected that it would make him look weak. What a leader.

11. His weakness makes him look weak

Mask or no mask.

[malaise]

17. And they let him in

I'd have cancelled the visit - rules are for everyone

[Docreed2003]

24. And yet the ironic thing is

Had he embraced the idea of masks, something that has proven to cut down on the risk of virus spread, he would have shown true leadership, his followers would be completely on board with him, and he might actually sway some undecided voters in the fall...but, nah, he's too smart for that. I suspect his fear of weakness is the fact his makeup would show up on the mask

[JudyM]

30. Maybe, that'd be sicko. I'm thinking he fancies himself as not needing to be protected, just rides

in on his horse with what he’s got, big tough guy... remember looking at the sun? It’s almost like a trademark for him to break rules and his followers love it. I’m hoping for the sake of the country and the planet that they kill each other off enough to hand us the victory easily in Nov.

It still amazes me that his popularity among repugs remains over 50%.

ETA: It was smart of MI’s AG Dana to characterize him as a “petulant child” after today’s stunt. It’s a good way to disempower his self-styled bad boy image. https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142498594

9. vanitas vanitatum omnia vanitas

he will never be on-camera in a mask; that's akin to admitting he was wrong, or worse, human and vulnerable.

never admit fault. never apologize. blame anyone else. deny. confuse. bait. troll.

[maxsolomon]

28. "I don't want to give the Press the pleasure of seeing me in a mask".

It's only about TV. It's only about his self-image.

[sop]

10. He's on hydroxychloroquine, so it's all good.

[notdarkyet]

12. Probably lost more voters over this and with the nat guard. I guess he

Doesn’t think he needs Voters, just rich people. So be stupid about that too and be the biggest loser.

[Stuart G]

22. Yes..TOTALLY AGREE..!!! Trump just lost a whole lot of voters," this & nat guard"

[malaise]

29. Excellent point

[cbdo2007]

14. The more they wanted him to, the more I knew he wouldn't do it. It's all about control for him...

and he knew they wouldn't say no.

[sop]

18. Historians will be trying to explain for the next hundred years why no one stood up to Trump.

[nykym]

15. Can't remember who said it or how it goesbut

someone said it was hard for Repubs to wear 2 masks.

[Maraya1969]

16. I want someone to ask him on camera about the people who think he looks weak for not wearing a mask.

I am one of them. btw.

To which Trump will reply: "What a nasty comment" "You are fake news"

[malaise]

25. The Michigan AG (Dana Nessel) is tearing him a new one

My hope is that a worker got a photo of him with that mask on his/her cell phone.
She called him a petulant child.


add her name

[malaise]

19. He just said that he wore it around the back but didn't want the press to see him in a mask

Then he handed the so called mask to a journalist - I wasn't touching that. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[MoonRiver]

27. So presidential

[Stuart G]

20. K and R... Thank You ..for posting this..no text...

[Stuart G]

21. Trump doesn't know how stupid he is..This "no mask event" proves he is stupider than most think..

[OilemFirchen]

23. Weak?

No. Jealous.

[Totally Tunsie]

26. He's still bullshitting. There's no way he wore that mask.

His vanity runs rampant.

ETA: Why the hell are newscasters (Blitzer, et al) giving credence to Chump supposedly wearing a mask while off camera? This they choose to believe?

[malaise]

31. i knew that some worker with a cell phone would get the pic

35. Thanks, malaise. Amazing.

Brian Williams just showed this photo on his show. I felt my eyes were deceiving me.

Of course, his vanity and ego still keep him from being seen in public in his <Presidential Seal> mask, and I'm reaching the point where I hope he doesn't wear it if it means he's susceptible to the 'rona.

Kudos to whoever got that photo.

[roamer65]

32. This ought to be worth a point of two on election night.

[cwydro]

36. He wore one.

There’s a pic somewhere here in GD.
