Trump’s previous position on masks has left him isolated even from other Republic leaders as health officials and politicians across the political spectrum pleads with Americans to cover up.
“We must have no stigma, none, about wearing masks," said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell – a Kentucky Republican.
Despite numerous previous protestations to the contrary, Trump now says he has no problem with wearing a mask in public and that he “sort of like” how he looks with one on, likening himself to the Lone Ranger.
Kieno Kammies interviewed Barbara Friedman about the day’s trending stories, including this one about Trump’s change of mind regarding masks.
