President Trump is a senior citizen. The coronavirus hates senior citizens. One of the ways to prevent the spread of the coronavirus is to wear a mask. The president refuses to wear a maskβ€”mostly because he’s a maverick, and by maverick, I mean asshole.

The photo of President Putin-ish wearing his mask would be the first since the global pandemic brought the world to a crippling halt. The president believed that he was safely in the back of the facility away from prying eyes as he boasted about wearing a mask in the β€œback area” later that day.

The president spoke to reporters after his tour of the facility without wearing a face mask. When asked why he wasn’t wearing the mask, the president gloated that he wore one but that he β€œdidn’t want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it,” the Hill reports.

Welp, in the lineage of all of the great β€œdeez nuts” jokes of our ancestors, I say, β€œGot eeeeem.”

The Hill notes that Trump also didn’t wear a mask when he met with AfricanAmerican β€œleaders”—and I use that word loosely as it was just the doctor of houses, Ben Carson, and the usual cast of black folks who probably voted for Trump.
