Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer talks with Rachel Maddow about her disappointment, though not surprise, that Donald Trump did not fulfill the responsibility of his leadership role to model behavior for the sake of public health and instead chose to flout the state's mask rule while touring a car factory where everyone was wearing a mask. Aired on 5/21/2020.

President Donald Trump Eschews Leadership Role, Flouts Michigan Mask Rule | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Trump: “Sure, I could have worn a mask, but as the patron saint of petulant man-babies around the world, I didn’t want to give the press the satisfaction of seeing me do the right thing for once. Phuck that!!!”
Nice one…
David, 78 year old Dementia Joe lets have a fist fight or a push ups contest! LOL!
And there is nothing you can do about it, isn’t that a …..
Effectiveness of Surgical and Cotton Masks in Blocking SARS–CoV-2: A Controlled Comparison in 4 Patients: Both surgical and cotton masks seem to be ineffective in preventing the dissemination of SARS–CoV-2 from the coughs of patients with COVID-19 to the environment and external mask surface.

A cluster randomised trial of cloth masks compared with medical masks in healthcare workers: The results caution against the use of cloth masks. Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection.

@nomane18 hopefully the virus will do it for the real Americans
A cruel despot in the eyes of the world…
Despot? despot, this coming from a drunk?
Phillip MJ Bacon… totally 👍🏼
Trump doesn’t even have the guts to be an efficient despot.
Spoken like an entitled millennial who knows nothing of the outside world.
Phillip MJ Bacon… families divided and in cages, Muslim ban, Dreamers, abandoning the Kurds, “hard stop” for National Guard 1 day before they qualify for benefits…. seems quite accurate.
A view from the outside world
Insecure little Donnie is afraid wearing a mask in public will hurt his reputation, unlike the lies and crimes he has been impeached for.
Impeached and yet YOU’RE PRESIDENT.
Bud Fudlacker he should be impeached again.
@Bud Fudlacker Impeached is still the accurate term. Only three Presidents have been impeached and none of those three were removed.
@princeoftidds Trump was acquitted! KAG! 2020!
@Eric Fical Acquitted! KAG! 2020!
I think it‘s pretty obvious: Trump is a no-brainer 😉
This is typical of the republican mentality : wearing a mask is being weak. They do not care about science…they only care about their dear leader’s propaganda
@Bud Fudlacker pud Wacker now you’re using the return question by trump cultist to evade the truth. Can’t you morons come up with thoughts of your own? You ain’t got the brains you were born with no use trying to educate you.
@JOHN Danenberg Well now that you could not name one reason I am convinced! LOL!
@Bud Fudlacker same old subterfuge. Again can’t you think of anything new? Pud Wacker you are not answering the question. Physiology 101 isn’t working. Once a moron always a moron. Put the shoe on its your size wear it well.
Republicans never have any respect for Americans lives. They, with their “Leader and king” Donald Trump pursue the objective of killing as more Americans as possible specially the elderly population in order to save millions of dollars been paid for their retirement and medical plans,etc
@66 Marksman Islander you hit the nail squarely on the head.
Easy to tell who’s the adults in the room these days.
Is he afraid his makeup will smear or rub off?
No Mary He is showing that he is tranparent, We do not have to WEAR masks FOOLS!
Makeup and stupid stuck on hair
Yes. And do we want to see under that? No.
Micheal Madow doesn’t where make up!
1:36 – “This is about public health, not one person’s or another. *This is about all of us”*
_Donald J. Trump has left the chat_
Think you meant *rage quit*
Ha, ha, ha-ha, ha. You don’t get your photo-op.
Na, na, na-na, na……..
send chubbo to the guillotine
Trump still thinks he stands above the law. Dumb.
There is one thing Trump excels at, and he’s absolutely brilliant at it. Bragging.
unfortunately lies will come through a mask
Trump acts like a twelve-year-old girl who refuses to wear her glasses out in public because she thinks they make her look ugly.
Any woman who can withstand four crises at once — economic, medical, aquatic, and political — without losing her mind is presidential material.
When you have access to the best of the best in medical treatment, I guess you can flaunt it
Trump did not wear mask,this is how he thinks of saving Americans.
HE’S been a defiance PERSON all his LIFE he will NEVER CHANGE
Trump: ‘I’ve been robbing people for over 50 years without a mask so why wear one now?” SAD!
“TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.” Any pipe dream for the TRUMPER’S to believe in !!!!!!
