Trump removes mask before facing cameras at factory - BBC News

President Donald Trump says he wore a mask in a "back area" during a factory tour in Michigan, but removed it before facing the cameras.

He told reporters he took off the facial covering at the Ford car plant because he "didn't want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it", and he was about to make a speech.

Despite Michigan's attorney general urging the president to comply with health guidelines, the president insisted it was unnecessary because he is regularly tested for coronavirus.

The BBC wish to thank their mentors CNN for all their hard work on their behalf.

The sooner the BBC has to fund itself the better. I stopped paying my license fee years ago, as every time I watched the BBC "News" I threw up a little.
Whether Trump wore a mask or not, the BBC would automatically take the opposite position.

The more he rambles on about it, the more you know he's lying. He's such a child when it comes to lying.

[xiaorishu]

He likes the mask so much yet he's embarrassed to be seen wearing it in public lol ..

This man is lucky to have inherited his father's fortune. If he were poor with that mentality, he would be lost

[utubebroadcaster]

He took a while to figure out how to even wear that mask. Quite the accomplishment though for the smart bleach drinking guy.

Pointless story from the BBC. Why are we paying TV licence again for this?

Stop wasting my time with this crap. If he conducted an interview wearing the mask you would complain about that too, not clear with his communication or whatever. Honestly, if you criticise the guy where it is due then fine and there is plenty to criticise. You make yourselves look pathetic frankly when you run these clips.

Here’s where all the haters are 🤪 the swamp is deep folks 😔😔😔

Say what you want about Trump, but he's a great troll.

[kai_johnsonn]

He loves messing with the media ''I tested positively in another sense, I tested positively towards negative, so I tested tested negative'' *smirks* 😂

[jackl]

He just has to make everything a competition and thinks he win every one of them

[elmerfuddf]

When making a speech I'd expect to be able to understand him

[realzeroentertainments]

😂 small things for the media to use boost their views and ratings 😂 ✌️ 🤔

good reporting BBC, im so glad you brought this to my attention!

[harrylyons]

This is what we pay the license fee for?

[TheJohndoes]

He shouldn’t have to wear one if he doesn’t want too it’s his choice and the same for everybody else

[matthewellis]

The most misrepresented man on the planet.

Good old BBC giving us the stories that matter. LOL, they will be gone in 12 months, more biased than channel 4 ha ha ha ha
