President Trump on Thursday went without a mask during a visit to a Pennsylvania medical equipment distribution center, even as other government officials in his party wore face coverings around the facility.

The president toured and made remarks at Owens & Minor Inc. in Allentown to tout his administration's work in producing and distributing personal protective equipment amid the coronavirus pandemic. The distribution center has sent millions of N95 masks, surgical gowns and gloves to hospitals around the country.

Trump's decision not to wear a mask was particularly noticeable given he was surrounded by people who wore them. Photos showed Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar and supply chain leader Rear Adm. John Polowczyk with face coverings. Each employee on the floor to listen to Trump's remarks wore one as well.

Manly!

1. No one should let him come in.

Stop the photo-op Presidency.

[Rebl2]

13. EXACTLY!!!

[FarPoint]

2. The Company should NOT of left him in with out a mask.

How can this company be reputable for PPE production without enforcement of COVID 19 Protective Protocols?

[Rebl2]

14. He's

afraid that his make-up will rub off on any mask and people might see it🙄

[secondwind]

3. Does he know that they are wearing masks to protect HIM? That the masks do nothing for the wearer??

asshole!!

[Tucker08087]

4. Exactly!

But his brainwashed “pro-life” zombies don’t get it either.

[trixie2]

19. Remember those death panels

Whispers, "They are here".

[MoonchildCA]

6. Which is why he doesn't bother.

He only cares about himself.

[EllieBC]

11. Of course he does. And that's why he's not wearing one.

He doesn’t care about anyone else.

[LizBeth]

12. His mentality is that is owed to him.

[iluvtennis]

5. No rules apply to the orange ass, not even Covid-19 safety precautions. nt

[bucolic_frolic]

7. At some point it will be like getting on the superhighway with bald tires

Life is not a matter of forcing the world to bend to your will, because sometimes it won't. It is a matter of the risks you take. Currently, unprotected breathing raises the risk of contracting an often very serious illness.

[trixie2]

8. He might be the flea on the rat of this whole thing

[Wuddles440]

16. Exactly!

It's highly likely that he's a super spreader (along with Mikey Dense) and possibly the "greatest one of all time" - just one more thing that he can boast about.

[Journeyman]

9. So he potentially contaminated some of the product they produce . . .

Good to know Owens & Minor practices only the finest of safety regulations.

[Roy Rolling]

10. Go Ahead

Taunt Mother Nature, God, or the deity/non-deity of your choice at your own risk, Donny. What was that old stage play? “Your arms too short to box with God”.

[sakabatou]

15. *facepalm*

[durablend]

17. Look at the reviews of the place on Google

:dead:

[trixie2]

21. Wow!

[Hekate]

18. Jesus Christ on a Trailer Hitch

[Buckeye_Democrat]

20. Isn't that the same company where...

... the employees did NOT want him to visit?

I'm guessing the managerial, authoritarian kiss-asses overruled them?

[tinymontgomery]

23. I thought the same thing. n/t

[muriel_volestrangler]

24. No, that was Braskem, manufacturers, in Marcus Hook

Because this is all about the election, and he demanded a photo-op somewhere in Pennsylvania:

Trump had hoped to visit Pennsylvania late last month, but the trip was scuttled over safety concerns.

Officials explored the idea of a Trump visit in late April to a Braskem America manufacturing plant in Marcus Hook, Pa. Earlier this year, dozens of workers stayed in the plant for 28 straight days so they could remain virus-free while producing raw materials needed to make masks, gowns, and sanitary wipes.

The Trump trip was never scheduled because the company expressed safety concerns, said an administration official speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss security concerns.

The new White House health protocols will be in effect when Trump visits the distribution center in Allentown, the official said.

Obviously, "new White House health protocols" are "toddlers under 2 (physical or mental age) don't have to wear masks, since they can't understand why they have to, and will throw a tantrum if made to".

Macklin said that with babies and children under the age of 2, parents can take measures like maintaining social distancing and putting a cover over a baby carrier to keep kids safe.

25. The worm dodged the impeachment.

The Ukraine debacle..The russky collusion trials...Probably the tax investigation..unless the supremos

charge the handjob...

And all it took was a little ole 120 nm germ to upset the cart....

[elias7]

27. He should go visit the meat processing factories of the midwest

I wouldn’t walk in there without an N-95
