The internet blasted Larry Kudlow on Monday after the Trump adviser walked out of the White House wearing a face mask improperly and leaving his nostrils exposed.
According to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Kudlow told reporters that he wanted to wear a mask “because reporters are wearing them and he’s been encouraging mask-wearing lately.”
However, medical experts say that wearing a face mask that doesn’t cover your nose is close to useless, as it still allows nasal droplets to escape into the air.
Kudlow was widely mocked on Twitter. Check out some reactions below.

Larry Kudlow, in addition to not understanding how the economy works, also fails to understand how the respiratory system works.

The mask is under his nose. Like wearing a speedo with your penis hanging out. He is a moron. https://t.co/BDlAeGM8ub

But we already knew that from his economic and medical advice.

Of course Larry Kudlow is wearing his mask wrong because Larry kudlow is (say it with me) wrong about everything all the time https://t.co/gS8xWxioFW

Larry Kudlow
– doesn't know how to wear a mask
– said in February that COVID-19 was "contained"
– said in June there would not be a second wave of the pandemic
– thinks $200/week is "generous" enough for millions of Americans who are struggling. https://t.co/E7Bjt9YiMh

With the mask positioned this way, who knows what will go up Larry Kudlow's nose.
Then again …
