US President Donald Trump has worn a mask in public for the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

The president was visiting the Walter Reed military hospital outside Washington, where he met wounded soldiers and health care workers.

"I've never been against masks but I do believe they have a time and a place," he said as he left the White House.

He has previously said that he would not wear a mask and mocked Democratic rival Joe Biden for doing so.

It’s like living in a country of 10 year olds and it gets embarrassing sometimes

In a hospital, hell yes he should wear a mask - hospitals aren’t for sick people. Duh.

As important as he is, especially now, it’s only prudent.

And the only time he wore one was inside the hospital.

He’s already worn masks in several other situations outside of hospitals but without the media hounds present.

Wonder how much air time the Sunday shows will devote to the topic? Certainly they will have video and will attempt to smear Trump and his previous comments about masks. I just despise these people.

The pathetic whiners at BBC never miss any chance or opportunity to caste dispersion at President Trump. I have written them complaints many times , only to receive mealy mouthed self- justifying replies. So typical of the clueless ,Leftist, British circle jerk .

It will probably take up about at least half of the shows.

They are a complete and utter disgrace

He should wear MAGA masks or put other slogans on them to infuriate the Enemedia even more.

“so what?”

Exactly.

Besides it is not true, I’ve seen footage of him wearing a mask before, I don’t recall where. I think visiting a factory when walking amongst workers.

He was visiting Walter Reed. It showed respect for the health conditions of the wounded veterans. Absolutely the right move by the President. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

He was visiting a hospital where many of the patients had compromised immune systems. You would expect that he would take precautions for their sake

Not sure what the big deal is. He has wore mask in public before.

The mask???? Context, context, context. That’s something the tiny minds of “journalists” can’t process.

Does this mean that Trump is “growing “?

Now that it looks like Pres. Trump is pro mask, they will be deemed useless by the Left and all the mask mandates will disappear.

If Trump is for it, then the Left be agin' it!

I go to a local hospital and clinics for tests every week or so. It is the only place I have worn a mask.

At long last, the Left has owned Trump, has shamed him into complying. Face it— we’ve lost this round.
