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 p******c 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.

Very true.


But I can't help but think that a P**********l leader would have had a conversation akin to this:

"I want to walk over and have my picture taken over at the church."

"Well sir, we can do that but the square is crowded with protesters. We'll have to send in r**t police to remove them for your safety."

"Really? Lets just try tomorrow instead."


Instead our boss probably answered something like, "I want my picture. Do what you have to do."

I think that black lives have always mattered, to understand what is happening in the black communities you have to understand crime statistics, a study by liberal professors showed that cops are more likely to use deadly force on white suspects than black suspects. To get a real understanding of why there is a disproportionate number of black people k**led at the hands of police you have to understand the number of contacts and the demographics of crime statistics. I know that it does not fit the current defund the police meme but facts are a stubborn thing and no matter what Joe Biden says they should be paid attention to.

These injuries and deaths have been unreported by the national media.

– A Las Vegas metropolitan police officer, Shay Mikalonis, age 29, was shot in the back of the head while struggling with a r****r. It appears that Mikalonis survived brain surgery, but he will likely never be the same after the attack.

– Twelve other Las Vegas police were injured during the r**ts.

– An active shooter also opened fire on law enforcement at a Las Vegas courthouse.

– Four St. Louis police officers were shot by an active shooter. Thankfully, all four are out of the hospital.

– A retired St. Louis police captain, David Dorn, was protecting a friend’s store from r****rs and l**ters. They shot him while stealing “TVs.” A shocking video, live-streamed on Facebook, shows the 77-year-old b***k A******n lying in a pool of blood. Dorn’s death was little covered in the national corporate media.

– A New York police officer was struck purposefully by a vehicle. He is in “serious but stable condition.”

– Three Buffalo law enforcement officers were struck by a vehicle in front of the police station. Two officers are now seriously hurt, and two civilians died from shootings that were not related to the police.

– Three Davenport, Iowa, law enforcement officers were ambushed, and one was shot. Two civilians died in the attempted k*****g of the police officer, including a young black woman.

– One hundred thirty-two officers were injured in Chicago during a r**t. During that r**t, there were 48 shootings and 17 homicides. It is likely many of the homicide victims were b***k A******ns.

– Nine Pittsburg officers were injured by objects during a r**t.

– Up to a dozen officers in Rhode Island were injured during r**ts.

– An active shooter opened fire at the Oakland Police Department. At the federal courthouse in Oakland, the scene of an anti-police protest, two officers were shot in a drive-by shooting. One of those men, Federal Protective Service Officer Dave Patrick Underwood, was shot dead. Underwood is a b***k A******n and, first and foremost, a hero.

– Two officers were struck in the head with projectiles in Santa Ana, California.

– Two Richmond, Virginia, officers were shot. One of these officers has life-threatening injuries.

– At least five officers and two firefighters were injured during r**ts in Richland County, South Carolina.

– One officer was struck in the head by a brick in Albany, New York. The suspect, a 21-year-old white male, is now in custody.

– Four Prince William County, Virginia, officers sustained head injuries from projectiles, including large rocks.

– Seven officers were injured in Sacramento, California.

– Several officers were shot at and injured in Lynchburg, Virginia.

– Several Champaign, Illinois, police officers were injured during protests that turned into a r**t.

– Three Oak Lawn, Illinois, officers were injured.

– Twenty-one officers were injured in Salt Lake City. What appeared to be a mostly white crowd threw rocks and other objects at the officers.

– More than 50 Secret Service agents were injured by thrown objects — including Molotov cocktails — in Washington, D.C. The “protesters” appeared to be trying to breach the White House fence.

– Three Denver police officers were in a police Rapid Deployment Vehicle when they were purposefully slammed by another vehicle. The impact also hurt a civilian standing nearby. The status of the civilian is not yet known, and one of the officers is still in the hospital.

– Well over 40 New York City police officers have been injured during r**ts, some severely. Multiple officers have been shot, stabbed, or hit with heavy objects. The latest incident involved a knife-wielding attacker who stabbed an officer in the neck, and two other officers who were shot — one in the hands.

– Videos from New York that don’t appear to be widely reported in the media show a cop getting slammed in the head with a heavy object from behind, and a cop lying on the street after being shot.

– Multiple Atlanta, Georgia, officers were injured during protests. One officer, a b***k A******n named Max Brewer, was run over by an ATV. The vehicle appears to have circled back in order to run him over. He remains in critical condition.

– Two C*****l P****e officers were injured during a r**t in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. According to pictures from the r**t, it appears some protesters attacked the officers. In one picture, a white man appears to be trying to attack officers wearing r**t gear.

– In Minneapolis, at least 21 law enforcement officers were injured during the r**ts, despite Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey ordering the cops to allow l**ting and r**ting to occur.

Very true.
