Trump Won't Wear Mask at Tulsa Rally, Tells Attendees 'Do What They Want'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Ahead of his first large-scale campaign rally since the shutdown caused by the coronavirus, President Donald Trump said it is up to those attending whether or not they wear a mask as he promised a "wild evening."

The event at Tulsa's 19,000-capacity BOK Center will take place on Saturday as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise in Oklahoma and despite warnings from public health experts that it risks accelerating the spread of infection.

Trump defended holding the rally, telling Axios on Friday: "We have to get back to business. We have to get back to living our lives. Can't do this any longer. And I do believe it's safe. I do believe it's very safe."

The BOK Center has requested a written social distancing plan from Trump's re-election campaign outlining how it would implement Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines to mitigate the coronavirus risk.

2. Nobody there will wear one

Trump has deliberately created a super-spreader event just to satisfy his own ego. It’s insane.

3. If he really cared about getting people back to work, it would be wrong but it would

be an argument I understand, I have a close relative who is in trouble because of this and I will help as long as my funds hold out, so I get it.

But he cares NOTHING about that, he thinks numbers he doesnt understand AT ALL like market, unemployment, will go up and make him look better.

He does not know how or why the numbers go up or down, but there are some people who are really dumb who will see a change in numbers as a reason to congratulate him.
