President Donald Trump has a face covering with the presidential seal on it, but he refused to wear it Thursday on the public part of his tour of a Ford plant in Michigan despite factory policy.

The president was given a mask by Ford. He was photographed wearing a mask at the plant, and a source familiar with the matter confirmed the authenticity of the photo.

This is not maskgate. Screw the scum media who will never report or tell the truth. They are little children who constantly need attention.

“I know i don’t wear one and no store has given me a hard time”

No one has given me a hard time either. I have received stares. However, I have been chastised for “going down grocery aisles the wrong way” against the one way arrows. Really!

“How is this caving? There was a specific part of the plant tour that required a filtration mask, so he wore it in that location. We have areas in our facility that requires various gear like eyewear, masks, and hearing protection.”

You are correct.

The executive on the left in that pic with President Trump has goggles in his left hand.

I think he needs a logo on the back of his suit that says, “PRES.” similar to the one Governor William J. Le Petomane had in “Blazing Saddles”. That would really set them off.

Another angle would be a big toothy grin on his mask.

This had nothing to do with COVID-19 restrictions. Manufacturing plants often have areas where various forms of protection are required (gloves, masks, goggles, etc.) to minimize exposure to workplace hazards.

In my line of work there are many project sites I cannot enter without a reflective vest, eye protection, hard hat, and even steel-toed boots.”

You’re right about the PPE; that exec with President Trump is holding goggles in his left hand.

Slow Joe is starting to look like Charles Montgomery Burns from “The Simpsons”. All he needs is a Burns to be complete.

...so he doesn't need to wear a mask

Creepy old Joe would not want to wear a mask. A mask would get in the way of his sniffing women and girls' hair. He also wouldn't want to wear gloves, for obvious reasons (ask Tara Reade).

Sure you do. You go post your opinion, and I’ll call you a fool for thinking Trump “caved” on anything.

I’ve never seen a one way aisle in a supermarket.

Where is this mythical land?? :)

I believe you of course and honestly, it’s not a bad idea.

But if someone chastised me for going the “wrong way” I’d be quite annoyed

A mask is no big deal like a bunny suit is.

In my line of work you were a lot of gear* to protect the process from you!

*Bunny suit, booties, gloves, hood, beard cover, face mask/shield with filtered exhaust, etc., in addition to any safety equipment.

Have seen several stores with one way arrows but the one I got chastised in was a Publix Supermarket. First time I had been there and likely the last.

I’m usually in a rush and there for a handful of specific items, not to walk their maze.

"Another angle would be a big toothy grin on his mask."


A variation on that would be to emboss a photo of Trump's lower face on a mask, so they wouldn't know he is wearing one.   (I couldn't find an example picture of that with a man's lower face on it, but here's one with a woman's lower face, so you can get the idea.)

It must be true.
They have “a source familiar with the matter”.

The Safeway here in my Oregon Coast town has the arrows on the floor. Most people don’t pay attention to them.

IS THIS STILL FREE REPUBLIC? The one that started in 1996, but really took off in 1998 with the Clinton Lies! Doesn’t seem like the same place with comments and all...or lack of...
