<p>A normal visit for United States President Donald Trump to Honeywell’s mask-making factory on Tuesday has hit massive headlines -- for two reasons.</p>

<p>The first, we had reported, was his choice of irony.

<p>A clip posted on YouTube by Reuters shows Trump walking through the Arizona facility without a mask to the song.</p>

<p>The background music for the tour also included Trump rally stalwarts such as Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” and Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger.”</p>
