My question was serious. In light of all the scientific and medical recommendations, Trump refuses to wear a mask, and I thought some one might have a reason for that.
I am not talking about the Oval office (and you know that), I am talking about his saying "I don't see it for myself"; and his indisputable refusal to wear a mask at times that every other American would be---out of consideration for those around him. We wear a mask not to infect others. He is very true that he does nor wear a mask when he should, and that was the gist of my serious question. "He doesn't see it for himself, "I just don't".

Why doesn't he he "see it" for himself is the heart of the question. Why, Why, Why doesn't he wear a mask to set an example of the right thing to do? Saying he doesn't "see it" is not a meaningful answer.

Is it because he is vain, and fears that it might make him look silly; or some other valid, legitimate reason? And now with a surge, and many mayors mandating masks in their cities for all citizens , is Trump too proud to reconsider?
You speak of hypocrisy that I don't I see. What is hypocritical of asking those who support Trump why the leader of the free world in the middle of a pandemic refuses to wear a mask? Do you know the meaning of hypocrisy? My question was straightforward, leaning toward the belief that there is no good answer, but still receptive to anyone who might offer one.
You did not.

OK. Because he gets daily tests, knows he doesn’t have the virus, there is no need to wear a mask.
On the surface, some might accept that. But, there is more.
He should set the example for the rest of the country and encourage all to wear masks, by appearing in public wearing a mask. The mask is an effective deterrent for the virus, and he should be an outspoken fan of its use.
After all it is the citizens of HIS country that are dying. And it is the economy and well-being of HIS country that will not recover until the national health crisis is under control, and confidence is restored.
He should wear a mask.
Having said that, I will admit that I think his vanity and the fear of looking foolish are contributing factors to his irresponsibility.

He is likely of the ilk that views wearing the mask as a fear based act, a sign of weakness.

That's a very selfish attitude...and we all know trump is self-centered.

Plus, he has already said he won't wear one. How could he wear one after that...it would be admitting he had previously been wrong about something.

All of us are deeply flawed, but it should be rare for a person to be so insecure, so small-minded not to be able to recognize and admit a bad judgement, and take appropriate steps to correct it.
But we elected such a man to be our President.
Damn.

He should get over his pride and just wear the feckkin' mask to set and example for his minions.
