0:41Now PlayingFormer President Donald Trump refused to wear a mask at the height of the COVID pandemic because it smudged his makeup, a former aide claims.
Trump made the decision to forgo masks while visiting a Honeywell factory that produced the highly sought products in May 2020, according to Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, in her new book, “Enough.”
She wrote that the former president chose to wear a white mask for the event, and asked staffers what they thought of it.
