President Trump said he didn’t wear a face mask while honoring elderly World War II veterans—just one day after his personal valet tested positive for the coronavirus—because he was “very far away from them” and “they’re so pure, it will never happen,” the Daily Beast reports.
Said Trump: “Plus the wind was blowing so hard in such a direction that if the plague ever reached them, I’d be very surprised.”
Asked why Trump didn’t wear a mask while honoring the veterans, press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said, “They made the choice to come here.”
