Trump has yet to wear a mask on camera, even as public health officials in his task force encourage Americans to do so when physical distancing is not possible.

Nessel joined other Democrats in criticizing Trump for what they consider failing to set an example. Vice President Pence was criticized earlier this month for not wearing a mask inside the Mayo Clinic campus in Minnesota.

Before his visit, Nessel urged Trump to wear a face covering, saying it's required of Michigan residents by order of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D).

“He is portraying the worst possible message to those who can’t afford to be on the receiving end,” Nessel said. “It’s very, very concerning.”

"I think the message he's sending is the same message he sent when he took office in 2017, which is, 'I don't care about you, I don't care about your health, I don't care about your welfare, I don't care about anyone but myself,'" she added.

Thank you AG Nessel and Governor Whitmer for providing strong leadership when we need it most!

Our state is a mess, but at least the grown-ups are in charge here.

Yep, she’s right. Half the country has seen through this charade since even before 2017. His handling of the Coronavirus pandemic has started to open the eyes of people from the other half slowly but surely.

When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different."

The President of the United States is proud to have not evolved past the first grade, because he is both a complete moron and a malignant narcissist
