President Donald Trump on Thursday mocked Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for wearing a face mask even as the US continues to lead the world in coronavirus cases, with more than 6 million infections.

Speaking to a largely mask-less crowd in Pennsylvania, Trump asked his supporters if they know "a man that likes a mask as much" as Biden.

"It gives him a feeling of security," the President said. "If I was a psychiatrist, I'd say this guy has some big issues."

Trump's comments, which came the day after the US topped 185,000 deaths from Covid-19, run counter to the advice of public health experts, who have emphasized the importance of face coverings amid the country's reopening, given that people without symptoms could unknowingly transmit the virus. Masks are primarily to prevent people who have the virus from infecting others.

In May, Trump shared a tweet mocking Biden for wearing one at a Memorial Day ceremony.

In response, Biden called Trump "an absolute fool" in an interview with CNN's Dana Bash the next day.

"This macho stuff, for a guy -- I shouldn't get going, but it just, it costs people's lives. It's costing people's lives," Biden said. He added: "Presidents are supposed to lead, not engage in folly and be falsely masculine."

4. Has this country EVER seen a man with such a ridiculous comb over. orange skin, & lifts in his shoes

..... pretending to be something that he is not. Let's not forget the pot hanging over the belt slightly hidden by a tailored suit and a ridiculously long red tie. AND THAT IS BEFORE we look at his mental state.

My grandmother would call that the pot calling the kettle black.

14. Excellent summation...

of the physical "attributes" of the Bloated Buffoon! I would also add that his gait resembles one carrying a large load in his pants (which probably is the actual reason).

11. Speaking of comparative appearances, have noticed

1. How slim muscular Biden is and fat flabby dRump is.
2. The loose and attractive drape of clothes Biden has and over-stuffed and cheap suit clothes Tramp has
2. The long slender fingers and big hands Biden has and the short chubby fingers and small hands that Trump has.
3. The warm embracing smile Biden has and the cold fake repulsive smile Grump has.

17. Joe hit the nail on the head.

"Falsely masculine" A real man isnt out here bitching and complaining about wearing a mask. Men follow the rules, idiots break them recklessely. Trump is an idiot period.

18. Joe Biden may have a few 'issues'...

but you have an entire fucking subscription, so shut your piehole!

19. Every morning, Chump wraps a $125 (available at The Trump Store)

silk necktie around his greasy neck, which serves absolutely no purpose, and he probably does this as naturally as breathing. No thought needed...he just does it.

However, he refuses to wear a $5-$25 mask that has life-saving properties and is strongly recommended by the CDC, for fear of looking un-manly. What a fool!

Besides, he's really smiting himself because, during this election year, he could probably make a bundle selling "Trump 2020" masks for $50 a pop to his loyal MAGATs. If nothing else, they'd give us a really good reason for punching them in the face.
