Trump Thinks People Are Wearing Facemasks To Show They Don't Like Him

During an interview with The Wall Street Journal this week, Donald Trump said that he believes some people in this country were only wearing facemasks because they don't like Trump. He truly believes that the masks are an act of political defiance against him, rather than an earnest attempt to protect themselves and others. The man is very good at making everything about him, even something as trivial as this. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

In an interview with the wall street journal this week, Donald Trump says that he has finally figured out why Americans are wearing the face masks when they go out in public right now. And the reason is, is not the one you'd think, right? It's not because they're worried about germs. They don't want to spread germs. They don't want to catch your catch germs. It's not because the CDC says, if you go outside, you should be wearing a mask. No, no, no, no. According to mr. Trump, the reason people are wearing those masks is because they don't like Donald Trump. That is what he said in an interview with the wall street journal. They're wearing the masks essentially as a sign of protest against Donald Trump. Cause as we all know, Donald Trump, doesn't like to wear the masks. He doesn't like the media to see him wearing a mask for whatever reason, he just doesn't like it.

And so if you are wearing a mask, it's obviously because you don't like Donald Trump not wearing a mask. So that's your way of sticking it to this absolute brain dead moron that we have serving as president of the United States right now. That's why you're wearing a mask because you don't like Trump. It's not because you're being considerate of other people. It's not because you believe science over politics. It's because you just have this deep seated hatred of all things, Trump. And because of that, you were going to protect your health and the health of everyone around you. You jerk.

It gets even worse because the moron went on to say why he doesn't wear the mask. And he doesn't like to wear the mask and why he doesn't want people to wear the mask is because, you know, sometimes they they'll touch the mask and then the mask is contaminated, but they'll keep wearing it and then they'll take it off and they'll touch it more. And then they'll put it back on and, and then they're getting sick from that. Um, in fact, here's exactly what you said. You said they put their finger on the mask and they take them off. And then they start touching their eyes and touching their nose and touching their mouth. And then they don't know how they caught it. Um, that's actually why the CDC also says don't do those things. Uh, but as far as I know, there's not widespread reports of that actually happening.

You take the mask off, you sanitize your hands or you wash your hands. If you're able to wash, if not, you sanitizes a temporary fix. Uh, and then you go about your day and you still avoid touching your face. Like the CDC says, none of this is a cure. All the CDC has not said that if you wear a mask, there's no way you'll catch the virus. That's not a thing. You still can catch it. You still can spread it, but it helps reduce the spread. If you wear a mask, same thing with washing your hands and using hand sanitizer. If it's, I think 70% alcohol or above, if it's not 70% or more, unfortunately, uh, does not kill, uh, quite as many germs, uh, just a little, you know, FYI right there for everybody. But nonetheless, none of these say that if you do this, you'll never get sick.
