In the summer, Centers for Disease Control director Robert Redfield declared that face masks are “one of the most powerful weapons we have to slow and stop the spread of the virus.” It’s advice that U.S.
President Donald Trump has rarely followed that advice, who has hosted numerous events and rallies over the past few months in which social distancing was ignored and masks are few and far between.
The irony that Trump is now hospitalized after testing positive for COVD-19 after months of mocking masks and belittling the people who wear them was not lost on Jimmy Kimmel after the COVID-19 diagnosis of the president and many of those in his orbit, including Hope Hicks, several Republican senators, adviser Kellyanne Conway and more.
