Yes - he’s wrong.
The same masks that they say will keep tine viruses out of our nose and lungs, but won’t stop huge-by-comparison smoke particles from polluting folks respiratory systems are not a solution - they are a stepping stone to absolute government control - if the Dems win in November we’re doomed.

Trump needs to:

1) Win
2) Fire just about everybody the morning after the election
3) Move on

Transcript of internal debate at the CDC:

Fauci: Hey, guess what? We did it! We finally forced them all to wear masks!

Redfield: You’re kidding?

Birx: No f**king way!

Adams: Even POTUS?

Fauci: Yes, even POTUS, he finally caved!

Birx: Cool! So Tony, what do we do now?

Fauci: First I think I’ll show up at a baseball game NOT wearing one, just so I can lord it over everybody how we are the ones who are really superior to them.

Redfield: That would be AWESOME! But once you’ve done that what are we ever going to do to top this?

Fauci: That’s easy....goggles! Face shields!

Adams: ooooooh....I like the way you think Tony!

Fauci: Twelve hours after I’m done giving my interview to CNN the lawn and garden shelves at Home Depot are gonna look like the toilet paper section at Target in April.

Birx: If we can make them wear masks AND shields, why, we can make them wear ANYTHING!

Fauci: Yes, indeed. Ankle bracelets, cowboy hats, those silk disco shirts that went out of style in 1979, handcuffs lined with fur...

Adams: Ballgags? Please please PLEASE can we do ballgags?

Fauci: No, Jerome, no one would ever see them under the masks.

Redfield: I know....let’s make them wear their underwear on the OUTSIDE! I saw that one in a movie once. It was hilarious!

Birx: I don’t know. Wearing my bra on the outside? The Playtex Pretty Petite #304 clashes with most of my scarves.

Fauci: All in favor.....

Flushing the insubordinate, partisan, and/or treasonous leadership of the various bureaucracies won't take another four years. But we'll need another four years of President Trump to get it done.

The CDC originally said, only a few short months ago, that masks were ineffective against viruses and actually increased the chances of infection, since wearers touch their faces often and also cover the mask, which they put over their mouth and nose, with contamination from their hands.

But that was before they unlocked the political potential of masks...

I worked a contract for a pattern of care study for the CDC years ago. They were a joke. Unorganized, unscientific, everything was about collaboration and the most insistent voices always won. There was no one in charge, and their IT support was pathetic. There are way too many large egos in these organizations, people who figure they are much smarter than they really are, and they are all trying to make a name for themselves. Don’t trust anything put out by them until you take the time fo verify with other sources.

....but I honestly see masks as similar to seeing yellow stars on people in early 30’s Germany. I bristle at the state requiring it, and I lose a great deal of respect for Americans that acquiesce because they honestly think they NEED to wear a mask. And that loss of respect is permanent. I simply see them differently....

Have to agree, I know some Engineers who are convinced they need a mask!

Years ago, I bought a P95 mask at the paint store. If people would compare/contrast a real mask (that seals around your face) to the cloth crap, surely they understand the cloth crap has zero efficacy.
CDC came out and warned folks not to rely on the cloth crap to protect against forest fire smoke.
Smoke particles are larger than a virus

Yeah.

Work supplied everyone with two black cloth masks.
HR dude gave me the pro tip sheet, a pep talk on how to use mask, and had me sign the “trained” form.

Pro Tip-MUST sanitize your hands BEFORE touching and putting mask on/off.

Felt sorry for HR dude engaged in nonsense

Masks do not work at all. see photos of the tests the doctor did.

BTW why have the corrupt news media not done testing like this guy? Because they know masks do not work as they do the newscast with no masks on in the same room. Millions do not wear masks and are still alive.
