It is only political to the stupid and selfish people.

Trump .....fears he would look ridiculous in a mask

Too late. Trump already looks ridiculous.

MAGA masks.....just what we need.

Regarding Trump's visit to the mask factory in Arizona, the video of him backing up in horror when an employee tried to hand him a mask was very telling. He is obviously scared out of his wits by the thought of catching the virus, but doesn't want to appear that way to his base.

Trump's own supporters tend to be older groups, which are known to be more vulnerable to the virus. Due to this policy, hundreds or even thousands of his own supporters will follow this advice, likely get sick, and die. He's putting the lives of his own supporters at risk so he will look "good" on camera without a mask. It's horrendous, monstrous... I'm running out of words.

Just because some people are stupid doesn't mean we all have to be.

Funny how the people who wear masks still don't understand that they aren't meant to protect the wearer.

When I'm walking down an empty street I don't wear my mask. But as soon as I go in a shop I put it on. Better safe than sorry.
