Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel says if Trump fails to wear a mask at his visit to the state's Ford plant today, 'he's going to be asked not to return to any enclosed facility inside our state.'
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel wrote a letter to the White House calling on President Donald Trump to wear a mask during his Thursday visit to the state's Ford plant.
"Anyone who has been recently exposed, including the President of the United States, has not only a legal responsibility, but also a social and moral responsibility, to take reasonable precautions to prevent further spread of the virus," the letter read.When asked by reporters on Tuesday if he plans to wear a mask, Trump said,"I hadn't even thought about it." He has not publicly worn a mask since the beginning of the pandemic.
Nessel said the state has already waved the ban against outside visitors to plants for Trump's visit, but insists he still wear a mask.
