Trump Mocks Reporter As 'Politically Correct' For Wearing Face Mask [1]
"President Donald Trump suggested to a news reporter they were being "politically correct" for wearing a face mask during a press conference at the Rose Garden of the White House on Tuesday afternoon.
Trump, who was speaking about federal assistance for senior citizens with diabetes, was answering two questions from Reuters White House correspondent Jeff Mason. The president was asked about his remarks about former Vice President Joe Biden's decision to wear a mask outside in public on Memorial Day weekend, and about Trump fueling a debunked conspiracy theory in recent days.
Trump previously retweeted a picture of Joe Biden wearing a face mask with the caption, "This might help explain why Trump doesn't like to wear a mask in public."
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump described Biden's decision to wear a face mask as 'very unusual' because it was done outside with 'perfect weather.'"
