US President Donald Trump visits mask manufacturing facility, forgets to wear mask

Let's tell you a story. A story straight from the treasure trove of coronavirus denial. It is set in the land of the free.

The villain is an unsparing virus that has killed thousandsand has left millions washing their hands. The hero -- is a president who wants to was his hands too,but from any responsibility. A president, who believes that all is well and iseager to demonstrate that life is slowly resuming,including his own.

What better way to prove thisthan a cross-country trip.

Donald trump travelled to Arizona earlier today. This was a trip aimed at singaling that normalcy in the united states is imminent. So much so, that trump almost shook hands and hugged somebody. He landed in phoenixwith his hand outstretched towards the Arizona governor.

Too bad,there were cameras and he could not shake hands. He settled for a pat on the back, something that social distancing guidelines don't mention.

His next stop, ironically,was a mask production plant. Trump toured a facility that produces face coverings to avoid spreading the virus. Every employee at the factory was wearing a mask. However,the U.S President decided to go without one.

He wore something more essential instead -- safety goggles.

As donald trump was being given a tour of the assembly line, somebody played a song that suits Trump's approach towards this pandemic...'live and let die' by Guns 'N Roses.

Next was time for an interview about whether lives will be lost in reopening the United States. Donald Trump replied, "yes there will be some."

"It's possible there will be some because you won't be locked into an apartment or, or a house or whatever it is. But at the same time, we're going to practice social distancing, we're going to be washing hands, we're gonna be doing a lot of the things that we've learned to do over the last period of time and we have to get our country back. You know, people are dying the other way too. When you look at what's happened with drugs, it goes up. When you look at suicides I mean, take a look at what's going on, people are losing their jobs. We have to bring it back and that's what we're doing."

You heard what he said...'people are dying the other way too'

So let's throw caution into the wind and let more people die. Is this what the U.S. President is suggesting?

Even the coronavirus would doubt if it can do as much damage as him. Donald Trump has set the bar very high. The death toll in the united states stands at 71,000.

Coronavirus cases have crosseda million. In the long run, we may all be dead.But for now, wear a mask, wash your hands and stay at home.
