I don't wear a mask because I believe the COVID threat is a completely overblown fabrication of the leftist media. My decision has nothing to do with Trump. If you want to continue living in fear go right ahead.
I will wear one at work as it is protocol, but never on my own terms.
Oh that's rich. You have to wear one at work and you believe that Covid is over blown? Do you wear one in the store? It's mandatory here in all public places. No mask, no service. Overblown? Hardly. Read about the virus instead of drinking the political koolaid. You might broaden your horizons. Pandemics should never be a political issue. This is a medical issue. Follow the science.
Mean girl Trump can be the tough guy all he wants, but the reality is that he is tested and everyone around him is tested regularly. Everyone around him off camera are wearing masks and he's hiding in a safe place social distancing.
It's the covidiots out there acting irresponsibly that are prolonging this pandemic and are a further drain on our economy. Stupid is as stupid does.

I really should read it. I think just about every movie I've ever seen made from a book wasn't as good as the book. I thought the movie was great so if past experience holds true I'd surely enjoy the book.
I wore a mask before it was a political statement. At the time, we were told that wearing a mask protects others. I wore one out of an abundance of caution for your grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts and uncles, sisters and brothers. If I was asymptomatic, I wouldn't want to get someone else sick. It is a minor inconvenience for the 30 minutes I spend at the supermarket or the 10 minutes I spend at the local hardware store.
It was no big deal when the guidance changed to wearing a mask will protect myself. Ok, so I'm protecting myself and others. Win-win. Again, it is minor inconvenience.
Suddenly it became a political statement. It makes perfect sense why it is a political statement. Trump's coronavirus task force essentially admits that there is something the federal government should be doing about this situation. Admitting there is something they should be doing, by extension, means that we could have been doing something for the 45-60 days that Trump denied this was a problem at all. Considering the mitigation of this virus has been completely bungled (27% of the world's cases and death's by a country with only 4% of the population... good luck spinning that), his only option was to say it is a hoax (again).
If it is a hoax - why wear a mask? The fallout from this will be dead Americans. More dead Americans. Dead Americans that if they could vote, would probably vote against Trump for selling them out. But they can't vote. What does he care? It is the only strategy he has left.
I hate wearing a mask but do it because I don't want to get it or give it to others.
Yes! Especially in summer, it's hot, and a little uncomfortable. I went out the other day for a walk and returned with they strangest of sunburns, - just around my hairline. I'd opened the sunroof in my car and now I have a weird sunburn. So I laughed it off. Next time I'll know to apply sunscreen. More discomfort.
Your OP is disingenuous. He said "some" people are wearing masks to show disapproval of him. Whether or not that is true, I have no idea.
I know it must be a Herculean task, trying to come up with new defenses for Trump and all of his idiotic behavior, day after day after day afterdayafterday.....but this is a really lame attempt.

This mask thing is a windfall for modern day singers. It makes lip synching to their studio recordings while live on stage so much easier.
