In Monday's email, Trump highlighted mask wearing as a potential means of accelerating a return to normal life, lamenting the effects of the coronavirus using a stigmatizing and inaccurate term for the virus. "I don't love wearing them either. Masks may be good, they may be just okay, or they may be great," the email continued. "They can possibly help us get back to our American way of life that so many of us rightfully cherished before we were so terribly impacted by the China Virus." Trump added, "My feeling is, we have nothing to lose, and possibly everything to gain, including the next chapter to our country, and to keep things open whether it be schools or businesses."

Well then, according to poster EGCROSS, Trump is now a communist.

Literally Stalin.

He also has a recommended mask for the opposition.

Don't really understand why that wasn't the message from the beginning, but there was a lot of confusion coming from the experts in regard to masks early on.

And just like that, he gets a little stronger in suburban Philly, Detroit, and Milwaukee.

So, if CV19 escaped from a level 4 virus research facility, how effective is a mask going to be? Even if it didn't escape, and someone smuggled it out, it was still being contained in a level 4 virus research facility, so same question. Now, if it developed in the "wet market", then who knows.

Trump


Can eat shite, he's raised his hands in surrender.

Not a good look.

If they work, put one on and open EVERYTHING up.

He cucked up.

Here is your choices , vote for someone who will ask you to wear a mask . Or vote for someone who will make it federal law for you to wear a mask, and if you don’t abide by it you’re hauled off to jail. Who gives a shite if he’s asking you, he’s trying to win a damn election .

Perhaps his new tone since there was a switch in his election team is paying off.


quote:

“Crucially, President Trump has a lead of 48 percent to 43 percent in the swing states Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin which would put him back in the White House with an electoral college tally of 309 to Biden’s 229,” David Maddox, the political editor for the Sunday Express, wrote about his newspaper’s survey.



The poll has Trump leading in Florida 47 to 45 percent, leading in Minnesota 46 percent to 45 percent, and in New Hampshire 46 percent to 43 percent. “The polling suggests Mr Trump is emerging as the race leader because of a belief he is best in handling the economy,” Maddox wrote. “With a third of voters putting the economy as the top election issue and 66 percent thinking that the economy is bouncing back after coronavirus, voters believe that Trump is better for the economy by 57 percent to 43 percent.”

There wasn't confusion...they straight up lied to people. Because the medical infrastructure was caught so flat footed, there was real concern that if the government told people to wear masks we'd all run out and buy them all up before hospitals could get them...so they said masks don't work.

This was back on April 3 on Rogan's podcast...Weinstein was right here.

Here's Faucci admitting they told people not to get masks even though they would be a benefit for the reason stated by Weinstein above.

That's the problem with lying...it makes it impossible to decide when you're not.

Do y'all think there are more "votes to pick up" at this point? It's just a matter of turnout, or trying to stop it in Trump's case. Most polarized electorate since '68 at least.

I think that this has to do with vote by mail.

The left:"Trump Supporters won't wear a mask to vote. Therefore voting isn't safe. We need to vote by mail."

Trump:"My voters are wearing masks. You will be just as safe as going to the grocery. Vote by mail is not secure. We will vote in the traditional methods to ensure a safe and secure election."

That’s literally a Breitbart article. Find one from MSNBC and it’ll say the exact opposite.
