1. All about him.

[CatWoman]

2. which makes absolutely no sense

one would think he would like the press portraying him as RESPONSIBLE

[jcgoldie]

3. Because his ego is exactly whats fucking important!

Not surprising.

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. I'd prefer the press have the pleasure of seeing him

lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda.

10. What? The Capital Of Russia....nt

[smirkymonkey]

11. +1000

Winner!

5. "If I wear a mask, these people around me might think they matter to me."

What good come come of that?

[Mike 03]

6. His vanity is one of his key vulnerabilities.

Pelosi and Bloomberg know this, and they know how to get to him.

You can tell this about him because of how frequently he ridicules the physical appearance of others. It's often the first line of attack.

7. Good that the press is always in his head.

That makes me feel good.

8. No he didn't want a woman telling him what to do.

Please Karma do your work.

9. What jerk. I think it's finally sinking in with everybody but the most rabid cult members that

he's a petulant toddler who's completely fucked up this entire disaster and they're tired of it. I've gotten emails from friends I used to connect with on Facebook that their MAGAt family members have suddenly gone silent. When my friends bring it up, they either don't want to discuss it or they roll their eyes and say they're probably gonna stay home on November 3. I know this is all anecdotal, but it seems hopeful. I hope they're right.

Instead of a mask with the presidential seal, give him this:

12. I'm betting that if he actually wore it in the back

there's a worker with a cell phone pic

[TheBlackAdder]

13. Always someone elses's fault. The poor widdle victim.

[smirkymonkey]

14. He's such a fucking toddler.

You can always count on him to do the wrong thing, just because he wants to piss people off and prove to everyone that nobody can make him do anything he doesn't want to do, even if it is for his own good and the good of others. He is such a selfish, narcissistic bastard.

It's no wonder he has spawned a movement of people who are just as immature and self-absorbed as he is. He inspires the worst in people and has dragged this country down into the gutter with him.

[Shermann]

15. There is an element of shame to it instead of just vanity

The mask makes him look weak and not in control of the situation.

But he is and he isn't.

CNN is hammering on this a bit too hard. It hearkens back to Reagan and AIDS but really shouldn't be the major headline today in my opinion.
