Today trump is going to a Ford Plant in Michigan.
ABC News...
”Pres. Donald Trump will travel to Michigan to visit a Ford plant converted to make ventilators — and it's an open question whether he'll wear a mask as everyone else who works or visits there is required to do by law.”
The question. Will he abide by the law and where a mask?
So far trump has refused to wear a mask.

Will he check out the damage done by the broken dams? Wasn’t infrastructure repair a big campaign promise, one that has been neglected. Maybe he had too many other things going on.

He's tanking in the polls and might try something new to restore his good name.  . I am not voting because I am so on the fence. He might for part of it, but when he sees cameras, he'll take it off. Who knows? |

I thought I saw something about a Ford rep saying it would be up to the president to decide, even though all others have been required to wear them. But I could be wrong.

It doesn’t matter if it’s the law or not, this is why the President of the United States needs to wear a mask when in public... ABC News... ”"I'm not doing it because I woke up in a free country." A man put a Costco employee on blast after he was refused service for not wearing a mask. He believes requiring everyone to wear face coverings is unjust. abc7ne.ws/3gaHyAT”There are idiots out there who see trump refusing to wear a mask so, even though it’s for their own protection and for others around them, they think they shouldn’t have to either. trump does not grasp the concept of “leading by example”. He is more concerned about how he thinks the mask will make him look. |

he will NOT want to be seen on camera wearing a mask. it would rub too much of his makeup off, besides just looking bad-- to his followers and just in general. I'm sure there's a whole host of reasons why he won't wear one. Close to the top of the list is the fact that I think he's way too vain and he thinks he won't be 'attractive' with a mas on.
(eta: this is, of course, only my speculation about what goes on inside Donald Trump's mind and what *his* reasoning might be for not wearing a mask... and what goes on inside of Trump's mind is something I don't want to spend too much thinking about, I have to say!! <shudder>)

I really don’t understand how it can be a law to require seatbelts but it can’t be the law to require masks?
Or that stores can say they require shirt and shoes but then people think they can’t require a mask?

He's technically breaking Whitmer's SIP order by even visiting the plant (supposed to be no non-essential visits), so wearing a mask ... ha.

He wants to move on to focus on the economy and opening everything up, so wearing a mask puts the focus back on the virus. He doesn’t want that.
Not to mention he won’t want to be seen wearing one.

That should give more weight to the argument that people be compelled to wear masks when in close contact with others. |

He is more concerned about how he thinks the mask will make him look. Exactly people around here are very loud about not having to wear a mask they are actually yelling at those that do. People want school to start with no masks or social distancing at all. They think this whole thing is a hoax. Him not wearing one as an example is just adding fuel to the fire. Really hoping the state mandates protections of course our sheriff is making a name for himself stating he won’t enforce any health mandates. |

I keep hearing if you feel you are at risk to just stay the }%^% home that they aren’t going quit living their life or wear one because it doesn’t protect them. It’s their responsibility of the immune compromised to protect themselves if they get it it’s their fault. It’s a sickening selfish mentality and seems to go against conservative Christian beliefs but they are getting almost militant about it. They think it’s just the government trying to see how far they can push people. If you try and give them any facts it’s all fake snd your a fear mongering sheep. You just can’t reason with them. |

Won't. For the pure and simple reason that covering the face is the last thing a narcissist would do. They love themselves too much to deprive the world of...themselves.  |

I voted yes, he will. I think he is at the point where he is going to do so. But I also wake up each day and think he cannot POSSIBLY be more stupid than the day before and each day I am wrong.  |

The county Board of Commissioners asked Trump not to come www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2020/05/washtenaw-county-board-of-commissioners-chairman-asks-president-trump-to-cancel-visit.htmlWhile the visit is an official White House visit, Morgan said there has been no outreach to local officials regarding it. “The absence of any official communication leads me to the conclusion that this must be a campaign stop,” the letter, signed individually by Morgan, states. “I am deeply troubled by the President of the United States visiting our community to campaign during a public health crisis.” Another local dignitary pointed out that the plant will need to be disinfected if he chooses not to wear a mask. He is not visiting the flood area because he already sent his 'best people'. |

He has straight up said he won't wear one (not just this one instance), so I don't know why anyone would think otherwise???
I think someone telling him he HAS to is even a bigger reason he wouldn't.

We have our answer..
Meridith McGraw...
”Only two people in today’s group at Ford with POTUS wearing a mask — @johnjamesmi and Dr. Audrey Gregory”
I’m not surprised, there was no way trump was going to wear a mask. So with exception of the two who did wear masks, the others, showing respect to the Office of the President, followed trump’s lead and didn’t wear masks.
And IMO was a big mistake.

That should give more weight to the argument that people be compelled to wear masks when in close contact with others. Actually that's not true unless the driver is the only person in the car. In the event of a collision, any unbelted drivers can become a projectile and hurt other people in the vehicle. |

I have MSNBC on and trump is claiming he did wear a mask while touring the plant.
Problem is, there are no photos of trump wearing the mask, which if he was smart and he did wear a mask, there would be pictures of him walking through the plant wearing the mask to put aside the criticism of him not wearing masks.
Until there are photos of him wearing a mask and because of the lies he tells, the assumption should be he didn’t wear a mask.

Thanks! 😉 It read like the plant itself had laws surrounding it, which I had never heard of. I wasn’t aware the state laws had changed. |

It doesn't matter that it's the law. Breaking the law is what he does.
Plus, there's no penalty for not wearing one and it's being left up to business operators whether or not to enforce it. |
