Donald Trump Testing Positive for Coronavirus Has Only One Lesson: Wear a Mask

US President Donald Trump testing positive for coronavirus has just one lesson for everyone – wear a mask.

On Friday, Trump took to Twitter to announce that he and wife Melania had tested positive for coronavirus and that they were now in quarantine. This comes after one of Trump’s closest aides, Hope Hicks, tested positive for coronavirus. Hicks was traveling with Trump on Air Force One just this Tuesday to fly to Cleveland for the first presidential debate with Democrat Joe Biden.Hicks was not wearing a mask while heading to Ohio for the debate. Here’s a tweet by an NBC reporter showing Hicks boarding Air Force One, without a face covering in sight.

Not just Hicks, Trump himself has had a rather strained relationship with masks. In the initial phases of the pandemic, when coronavirus cases in the United States were on a steep upward curve, Trump was repeatedly spotted without any mask on. In fact, he has been known to make fun of those who do wear masks – almost as if it was a sign of weakness.
