He wore the INVISIBLE mask

Wut?

I asked ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ why he didn’t wear a mask at the Honeywell plant yesterday. He said he had worn one. I said we did not see him wearing one. He said he wore one backstage and the Honeywell chief said it was not necessary to wear in the plant. pic.twitter.com/4KYvq3J6yE

So…he wore one somewhere behind the scenes where no reporters could see him, but not in the plant he was there to visit.

I’m gonna call that a brazen lie, on the grounds that what the fuck would be the point of wearing it “backstage” and not wearing it in the plant where he could infect the workers or vice versa or both? Nothing. Nothing would be the point of that. He didn’t wear it “backstage” and the Honeywell chief didn’t tell him that. He just didn’t wear a mask, because he didn’t want to.

He didn’t wear a mask. At a mask factory. When the whole point of being there was to illustrate the importance of masks. OK.

He did wear goggles, though, because goggles protect him. Masks only protect other people, whatever those are.
