This "No Mask Incident " just proves 1 more time: Trump only cares about himself, & no one else.

...Wearing a mask would prove as a leader he was willing to "take precautions." Others would see him taking precautions & see it is necessary to do so.

Not wearing a mask proves the idea that ..."It is all about what I want, & no one else matters"
...Others will follow his lead, (not wear a mask) and get sick and die...he doesn't care. "It is all about "ME",and what I want for ME" !!!!!

This is not complicated. That is what leadership is/was/ and will always be. Although Trump was told by someone about this..(I suspect today too), he still needed to show who the boss is..."It is all about what I want, no one is going to tell me what to do." Just like a 9 year old spoiled child ..

Fuck him.

He knows it will become the iconic photo for the election campaign.
