Trump claims he wore a mask at a Ford plant behind the scenes but 'didn't want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it'
Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.
"I did wear one, I had it on before, I wore one on in this back area," the president said. "But I didn't want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it." Ford also told reporters on Tuesday that it had a policy requiring masks to be worn at the plant and that it had informed the White House of the policy.
The president continued and said he was "given a choice" and "had one on in an area where they preferred it, so I put it on and it was very nice, it looked very nice. But they said it's not necessary.""I think it sets an example both ways, and like I said, I did have it on," Trump replied. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence have both drawn sharp backlash for not following the White House's own directive to wear masks when going out in public.earlier this month when he violated the Mayo Clinic's policy by not wearing a mask while visiting patients at the hospital.
