But Donald Trump’s statements went even further in terms of inconsistency and even danger. Remember when he praised the unproven drug hydroxychloroquine?
He told people they “shouldn’t be afraid of Covid” after he recovered from the virus. But at the time, more than 200,000 Americans had died being infected by the virus.
Also, we will attribute the focus on masks 100% to President Biden. President Trump has flouted the practice of wearing masks many times, and he even explained that he didn’t want to wear one on camera.
But when Biden took the cabinet, he insisted that all Americans should wear face coverings, in his effort to save more lives.
