The concerning factor is the narrative change by trump over time, add to that Boris Johnson publically donning a mask the same weekend and add to that the supposed Rockerfeller Foundation document allegedly read out by Ghana premier.
DONALD TRUMP'S VIEWS ON FACE MASKS
April 3: The CDC begins to recommend the wearing of face masks in confined spaces.
Trump says: 'I don't think I'm going to be doing it. Wearing a face mask as I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens - I just don't see it.'
May 21: Trump visits a Ford factory in Michigan and wears a face mask to tour the facility, but takes it off to be seen by the press.
June 5: In a Rose Garden press conference, Trump says: Look at what’s going on in Florida. It’s incredible. The job the governor of Florida has done. It’s incredible. The numbers they’re doing, you’ve got to open it up. And you do social distancing and you wear masks if you want.'
June 17: In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump says: 'Masks are a double-edge sword. People touch them. And they grab them and I see it all the time. They come in, they take the mask. Now they’re holding it now in their fingers. And they drop it on the desk and then they touch their eye and they touch their nose.
'It could be a false sense of security.
'They can wear them or not. I just want them to be happy.'
June 20: At his Tulsa, Oklahoma rally, Trump tells the mainly maskless crowd: 'You know, there was a time when people thought it was worse wearing a mask.'
July 1: Trump tells Fox News 'I'm all for masks.'
When asked whether he would wear one, the president said: 'If I were in a tight situation with people I would, absolutely.'
Trump said he would have 'no problem' with wearing a mask publicly and that he 'sort of liked' how he looked with one on, likening himself to the Lone Ranger.
July 9: Trump tells Fox News: 'I expect to be wearing a mask when I go into Walter Reed. You're in a hospital so I think it's a very appropriate thing.'
July 11: Trump wears a face mask in public for the first time, to tour the Walter Reed medical center.
I do worry that the situation can be read as one big pantomime with the D's and the Evil Witch of the North, Pelosi, being fought by the Good Knight and his Merry men. However, when the curtain goes down they all go to the Alehouse together for a bucket of Buds!
Biden, a clearly cognitively deficient opponent, incredulous and self destructive decisions by the D's, rings big alarm bells for me. A slow change in narrative in greater support of mask wearing just adds a bit more to the concern.
