Trump, who is eager to have the pandemic-stricken economy in at least somewhat better shape to bolster his chances of winning re-election in the Nov. 3 vote, did not wear a mask during his visit to the cemetery in Virginia.

Joe Biden, the prospective Democratic presidential nominee, made his first public appearance outside his Delaware home since quarantining himself 10 weeks ago. He and his wife Jill, both wearing black masks, laid a wreath of white roses at a nearby veterans memorial.

In other words, a contrast between a sensible, compassionate, humane adult who listens to the medical experts, and doesn't want to inadvertently spread the virus to others if he has it and is asymptomatic, and a narcissistic sociopath who plays tough guy for the red state MAGA-t dimwits who worship him.

If masks work so well, why were murderers released from prison because of fear of COVID infection?

Could have just forced them to wear a mask, no?

Oh dear. You actually think that this makes logical sense, don’t you.

Americans paid a low-key tribute to those who died serving in the U.S. Armed Forces on Monday, with many Memorial Day events canceled because of the coronavirus epidemic that has killed nearly 100,000 people in the United States alone.

Yep, most Americans paid tribute - except for the one guy who played golf on Sat and Sun...

Didn't even go to church...

With casinos closed, nearby Atlantic City was quiet.

I imagine that the Trump Taj Mahal and Resort Atlantic City was real quiet - since it went bankrupt in 2014...

U.S. economic activity in April ground to a virtual standstill and more than 20 million Americans lost their jobs due to the lockdowns imposed in March.

Total cases in the United States of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, have reached more than 1.66 million, the highest in the world, and 97,971 people have died, according to a Reuters tally.

All during President Trump's "reign"....well, thankfully this nightmare will soon be over...

It’s right in the article that our president laid a wreath at Arlington. he also went to Fort McHenry (to just be criticized by Dems for going)

but keep up the misinformation.
