    Agreed

    Especially those who are boasting about not wearing masks

    Grub is you do not need to wear one when you spend most of your time in the basement

    Cult....
    “A misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing.”

    Yup, the word cult is offensive to some people who use the word themselves to describe others. Go figure.

    Yes, now more of the Blue State liberals in cities, especially the hardest hit blacks, will wear masks in protest. Can't do anything about Democrats taking a skateboard to a gun fight, but we can even the score of Covid deaths with Republican unmasked snot nosed punk killers of their own voters. If Trump wins a second term you can't blame it on Democrat voters being devastated more than Republicans.

    If trump wins a second term, it’s only because Barr was in charge of counting the absentee ballots.

    Yup. Refusing to wear a mask is the FU statement Trump makes to ensure his followers he’s willing to infect them. I don’t think they get that.

    I got over that feeling when I realized anyone not wearing a specialized face covering, is literally trying to infect me.

    "some Americans are wearing masks to show they disapprove of [Trump]" isn't quoted anywhere in the link you provided. Can you provide a citation for this quote? Or are you regurgitating more 'let us tell you what he meant' OMB cult BS from the biased corporate whore media? TBC- I'm asking if Trump actually said this...

    Yup, pretty much what Trump does, just makes s.h.i.t up.

    Thats not a citation.

    Did Trump actually say
    "Some Americans are wearing masks to show they disapprove of me"?

    The citation is the Wall Street Journal Interview and the transcript is behind a paywall.

    Do you have access to 'behind the paywall'?

    I do not.

    ...but that sounds like something they would be eager to place in quotes if they could, does it not?

    I do not. I see enough different news sources make that claim about the interview that I tend to think it is trustworthy.

    I would note though that the portion that is actually in quotation marks for these articles is “signal disapproval of him.”

    Thats Operation Mockingbird for you...

    That doesn't sound like something Trump would say either. He doesnt often speak of himself in the third person...

    Im calling BS. Prove me wrong with a link to a cited quote. Until then, this is just more OMB cult falling for more fake news.

    Sure sounds like a Trump whine. That’s good enough for me and anyone else who has heard this drama queen whine incessantly. He said the SC didn’t like him the other day. That’s a GOP appointed dominated SC.

    That’s because he sometimes forgets his name.
    Seems like his supporters are bailing out too.
    According to the Tulsa fIre department only 6200 showed up in the 19,000 seat stadium. More people are showing up in sleepy joe’s basement

    Oh, they get it. They feel the same way ... not wearing a mask is how they say FU to the rest of us.

    Still no one is able to provide an actual quote of Trump saying what OP title claims?

    I guess they thought anyone who wanted to know could just “google”. I’ve found several references to it. Hers one.

    But, where everything that isn’t exactly what Trump claims is false, they probably figured you wouldn’t believe it.

    And so what is your problem to accept this as truth again?

    It is well known that much in WSJ is only readable behind a pay wall as it is called.... but if so many different media sources worldwide, from left wingers to right wingers, report this as news told by Trump with source = WSJ ... you are still in doubt?

    Could it be that you do the casual bad game of Trump fans by denying uncomfortable facts, fight them as afake news and even if it is proven, then it will be played down or they start to relativate it with lame excuses and reasoning ...?

    I saw and read this nasty game of Trumponians to often during the last years ...

    Because if they don't quote him saying it, they can claim they understood him to be infering pretty much anything they're willing to try to justify. If they quote him and he didn't actually say it, its a slam dunk lawsuit for libel.

    No one has provided a quote of him saying it, they just offer a littany of quotes they think supports the claim. Until they provide an actual quote, he didn't say it and they're just telling you what they want to think he must have meant.

    I still don't understnad your problem here!

    This was an interview he gave to WSJ and this interview ... as it looks like ... can only be read if you join and pay for it!

    There is nothing existing of "they claim to undersood him this way" ... he told in inerview he gave to WSJ as WSJ tells ... and thats it. And as far as I know, Trump who normally the first to deny things ... didn't react at all on this until now and this tells books that this interview happened.

    So sorry to say ... you have to accept it that this idiot tells such BS in an interview ... and as you know ... he told a mountain of BS, lies and fake news during the last years ...
