    1. Great answer oh, I was thinking the exact same thing that it will have copper juice all over it.

    1. Not to sound bitchy, but it sucks that people think Trump is on Adderall. It’s gotten more of a stigma now thanks to him. *I’ve never known Adderall to make anyone act like Trump.* If anything, he needs MORE Adderall to help him edit what comes out of his mouth.

    2. @Just another day in the salt mine ,
      Yes! Insulting the Great Leader is like insulting the Lord God. The foulmouth must be tied between the four horses of the apocalypse and pulled apart!

    3. @Dramatic Gnat
      I know the perfect mind-healthy drug for Trump. Bath salts. Flakka will neutralize Donald’s natural craziness!

  1. I love having my Morning Joe With Mika & my covFeFe! Don’t you like to start your day with them & this way?

    1. @ryvr madduck he isn’t, he is the judge who has the right and authority to ask these questions.

    2. @Purple Hill : Good comedy & satire are art forms & not every comic is equal. Charlie Chaplin, Jackie Gleason in the Honey Mooners, The Odd Couple, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, John Belushi, Russell Peters, Dave Chapel, Gilda Radner, Lucille Ball are shining examples. SNL today is not as good as in its heyday.

  2. Trump has Obamanitis which is the failure to live up to the greatness of the first black president even by 10%. 😂😂😂

    1. @vestiphobe except the fact is he combined 3 groups that was doing the same thing. If they were 15 in each, you dont need 45 saying the same thing. But that is the Dem way, create more to do the same thing. Trump is the best. Deal with it.

    2. @DD ,
      Trump keeps to company nor government rules. That sounds muscular and brave, but his disproportional Obama hate is going to ricochet back into his face badly…

    3. @Don Williams ,
      The humor is, YOU have to deal with it…not me. I’m save and dry on my Planet Smurf.
      =-)

  3. “sends the wrong message”? you mean saving lives as opposed to sparking the stock market.

    1. @Elizabeth notthe queen actually I have and you are actually wrong, you change PPE between procedures, not patients, even if it’s the same patient there can be bacteria that you could cross contaminate to other areas on the patient. Want to try again?

    2. @Some Person LOL, first they were hoarding masks and respirators and now the governors are telling everyone to stay home. You cannot trust those people.

    1. @Supreme King
      The only guys I saw with green faces were a seasick landlubber and a Martian gnome. Who didn’t look like Trump in all other regards.

    1. @Lucky Fisher 72 😉 go drink a beer or have a shot of whiskey, you’ll get over it …..

    2. Lucky Fisher 72 I’m a girl…go away with that comment. I never stated anything about deadliness.

    3. @B G Well that makes sense you’re a female all full of emotion and NEVER using logic or reason. What you typed was stupid af. All viruses and illnesses come upon you in an instant. Just like every machine that breaks today was working yesterday. Your argument and ignorance is the REAL VIRUS AND THREAT TO HUMANITY.
      #ZFG

    4. @ElSmusso …lol… I chuckled at your response….
      your right and fortunately for us ( those that are paying attention) his mask is transparent….he is very clear as too what his adgenda is…as with his staff….
      Because of this we can protect our self from the biggest danger the U.S. faces….and that danger is trump himself….
      Be safe and do you….and thank you for your enlighten comment

    1. @Some Person keep eating the BS sheep. You’ll be even more disappointed than 2016. 96% approval in Republican party.

    2. oftenlucid guss what numb nuts, I voted for Obama in 08. CHANGE was gonna be good. But the CHANGE was the worst thing that ever happened to America. I also did NOT vote for Bush either time, Voted Clinton in 96, Perot in 92.

    3. @Don Williams : No need for name calling Baby Child. We’re on the same team. Let’s send America down the tubes by electing Trump to 4 more years. . . #SmolderingHeapWhereOnceAGreatCountryStood2020.

    4. oftenlucid Yeah, we gotta get back to free phones, more food stamps, more on any gov’t assistance, lowest home ownership since stats were started in the 70’s. Get back to funding NATO on Americans dime. Get back to sending Billions for the Paris Accord. Yeah. Who wants Lowest unemployment in 50 years. Lowest ever for Blacks Hispanics Asians Woman. We need Joe and his 3 degree’s. He’ll be a great Senator.

  4. Because he’s an egomaniac it’s pretty simple why he won’t men wear masks. He thinks he’s too cool for it. He thinks he’s invincible

    1. Yea and after all he’s perfect since he denied covid for months. Someone like cuomo is held accountable for his words. In trumps case they’re just forgotten. And his crummy move of denying Obama his portrait is tacky. Obama deserves the honor. Why shouldn’t it be the case that in 2024 if whoever wins after trump as I’m not treating it like Biden wins decides to veto his Or her giving trump the Portrait that is his. That would be frowned on. Yet trump makes this big stink

    2. Yep he’s a massive poser. If he could only see the photos we see of him where he looks like a stupid ugly moron with really bad hair.

    3. DD. Nah! He’s just afraid it’ll ruffle his toupe and smudge his orange makeup!!!

    4. He choses not to wear them because he feels they make a man weak….
      He has an ego bigger than his tiny hands….

    1. Dirk Peeters When I see Joe and Mika then read comments like yours I think of the old TV Show,  BA BA Black Sheep.

  5. A mask sends the wrong message? The message being “I wear a mask because I care about people and don’t want to put them at risk.”
    –yep, Trump would never care about anyone.

    1. @Don Williams : Ya lost me thee with the 3 degrees, But no buddy, I thought we were on the same team. Joe is deranged. I can’t get enough of all this Trump winning. . . Let’s keep this party going!!!

    2. Trish Soren omg we are doomed then!!! 😱 testing won’t do a thing. Why TF do we get lined up for the tests 😢 when WH staff was tested everyday and still got infected 😭

    3. Tell us all EXACTLY who is at RISK from a HEALTHY person breathing oxygen in the same room as your pathetic being…
      Be specific because those same doctors of science that have you BELIEVING they want to save lives MURDER 56 MILLION babies every year by their own hands.
      No invisible bug involved… Just 56 million babies slaughtered…
      Tell us all that cool story about the Rona again bru!!!!!!! Please enlighten us alll

    4. @Lucky Fisher 72 Tell us all EXACTLY how you know you’re healthy—when someone could have the virus and not even realize it for two weeks or, in some cases, never show any symptoms.

    5. @Lucky Fisher 72 : No one is in danger of a perfectly healthy person breathing next you you. But, and it saddens me to have to explain this to you because it seems so plain and simple, that is not the case. People can be Asymptomatic and spread the virus without knowing they are doing it. I could put that in a crayon drawing if that would make it simpler for you.
      Abortion providers are not the same as infectious disease doctors, you get that, right?

      And the Right has no right to lecture the Left when they are arguing we should open the economy back up even if it kills the elderly. Which it will. The Right stands for nothing and has no moral ground in this argument. None.

      And there are just over half a million abortions done here in the US, not 56 million. So zip it.

    1. @Richy Rich Well, Richy, you know just how to get a girl excited don’t you?
      I can’t wait for that day… I’ll let you in a big secret…I’ve got a magnum of champagne and a really classy blue dress ready and waiting for the day he’s handcuffed and transported to Rikers!!!

    1. Frank Winkhorst,
      He doesn’t want to mess up his messed up brain.
      I’m waiting for the day when he, not trusting anyone and anything anymore, gives his press conferences completely nekkid.

  6. Just like he’s been encouraging protesters to go against the Governors and calling them good people

  7. “Sends the wrong message”
    The message: wear a mask to respect the safety and health of those around you
    Trumps message: I’m good no thanks

  8. The answer is obvious:

    Trump doesn’t want the makeup/tanner to rub off on the mask.
