For the first time, Donald Trump appeared in public wearing a face mask after being advised for months to do so.
Trump wore the mask in front of the White House press corps during a Saturday visit to Walter Reed Hospital.
Trump was bashed on Twitter for waiting so long to finally put a mask on. As CNN’s Sam Vinograd points out, “It took 137K dead Americans to get him to mask up.”
It took 137K dead Americans to get him to mask up.
How different would things be if Trump had led by example and masked up months ago?

Take a look at some of the best comments below:
Dear #Trump supporters: Remember this next time he tells YOU not to wear a mask. Remember how he takes care of himself with daily tests and tests everyone around him…but tells YOU tests are "overrated" and instead just to drink bleach if you catch the 'Democrat hoax'… pic.twitter.com/aqfOdUhC3O

137,000 Americans didn’t live long enough to see Trump finally put on his fucking mask.

It shouldn't be news that the POTUS wore a mask into a hospital during a pandemic.
It's only news because Trump is such a feckless child.

3 months after mocking Joe Biden for wearing a mask, Trump wears a mask for the first time in public today.

It took 70,000 daily cases, but Trump put on a mask. All this time later. Tiny hands covered in blood. https://t.co/Df6GckJoXe

When “Trump Wears A Mask” is the headline seven months into a once in a lifetime pandemic, you know the country is not doing well at all. Fuck Trump. https://t.co/IyD2smw9Fd

Two weeks ago we learned Trump ignored a Russian bounty on American men and women in uniform, and last night Trump commuted the sentence of his convicted co-conspirator, but at this moment the media is "breaking news" about Trump wearing a fucking mask. I just can't…

Seeing Predator trump walking around Walter Reed Medical Center only after commuting Roger Stone’s criminal sentence whilst allowing Russia to murder our troops just to have a photo op of him wearing a face mask is grotesque and beyond evil. It’s hard not to hate him.

It’s insane that despite a months-long pandemic that’s killed 130,000 Americans, today, finally, Trump opted to wear a mask in public.

UPDATE: by wearing a mask, Trump finally admits to the world that he caused more than 100,000 deaths (so far) by brainwashing his cult of intentionally ignorant dumb fucks to believe masks are just for liberals trying to make Trump look bad. pic.twitter.com/yO0hqHHIT5
