Trump refused to wear COVID mask because it smudged his bronzer, former aide claims

Former President Donald Trump refused to wear a mask at the height of the COVID pandemic because it smudged his makeup, a former aide claims.

Trump made the decision to forgo masks while visiting a Honeywell factory that produced the highly sought products in May 2020, according to Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, in her new book, “Enough.”

She wrote that the former president chose to wear a white mask for the event, and asked staffers what they thought of it.

“I slowly shook my head,” Hutchinson writes. “The president pulled the mask off and asked why I thought he should not wear it.”

In response, Hutchinson said she pointed to the straps of her own mask — prompting the president to look down at his own, which is when he “saw they were covered in bronzer.”

“Why did no one else tell me that?” the president reportedly replied. “I’m not wearing this thing.”

“The press would criticize him for not wearing a mask, not knowing that the depths of his vanity had caused him to reject masks — and then millions of his fans followed suit,” Hutchinson writes.

In another instance, Hutchinson said, Trump invited lawmakers to the White House the night before Thanksgiving 2020 — but when they were tested for COVID, some came back positive.

Hutchinson said she decided to only allow those who tested negative to attend the event, to which Trump reportedly spat back, “I said everyone! Bring them all! Bring them all now!”

Um, yeah...

First of all, masks DON'T work and second of all, has everyone forgotten this woman has already been caught telling lies about the former President?

No one cares. The country is going down the tubes and we are supposed to care about some chit chat hen gossip? Please.

President Trump could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and he wouldn't lose voters.

Yes, Cassidy (who was she named after, Hopalong?) that’s just one of several reasons for not wearing the thing I didn’t wear it because I knew it didn’t do a damned bit of good! There’s just something about breathing your exhale that doesn’t seem quite healthy.

Who really gives a damn?

What Trump chooses to do PERSONALLY is HIS BUSINESS.

My only area of concern is with his POLITICAL and POLICY choices he advocates.. most of which I AGREE WITH.

She's a serial liar.
