So here’s what happened. Someone at Fox or the White House said, 'We need to get through to Trump, who can we get to deliver the news? Let’s get Doocy! He’ll do it! Trump loves him!"
Now we wait.

Back in the 80s, Steve Doocy used to do a comedic bit at the end of the newscast - like handing out lucky potatoes. Things adolescents find funny. I never thought he’d become one of the most influential presidential advisors, and now to having a moment of reason.

You do know WHY don trump doesn’t wear a mask? Aside from appearing “weak” it would also mess up his god awful orange makeup. True story.

Even if you discount the safety benefits, it would go well with his criminal activities. He could put “BE BEST” on it. They could sell them to the faithful. It’s not like it would be the first time he went back on something he said. Just don’t point out he was wrong before and he won’t double down.

Fox News exists to help the GOP and Trump, they’re starting to realize that carrying his water isn’t enough, they have to nudge him in the right direction because he has no idea where he’s going.
They already tried denying the disease was real, that it was under control, that there was a magic cure for it, and that people should just be willing to die to save the economy and Trump’s presidency. None of that worked. “Well, I guess maybe we listen to actual doctors now.”

“I was in the epicenter of this. I went to my grocery store every week. Guess what? They wore masks,” Hannity exclaimed on his Monday night show. “Nobody at my grocery store, thank God, got coronavirus. I think they work.”
See, this is the problem right here. It doesn’t matter what anyone’s opinion of mask efficacy is. The science on them is clear, hence the evidence-based recommendations by reputable agencies to wear them.
The decades-long undermining of science and credibility of institutions is why a lifesaving mask can be trivially politicized in the US. It’s also why the US is going to fail to solve all collective-action problems until that faith in science and civil institutions is restored.

John Oliver was right: trump totally screwed himself on this one. he could’ve made red ones with “make america great again” on them and sold them. his base would’ve paid a premium for them, worn them, kept the virus from spiking, and he would’ve walked away looking like a decent leader at a profit.

I go to my grocery store every week too. Nobody fucking knows if the next person got coronavirus or not. Hence the wearing of masks.
He must live in one of those rich people enclaves with daily testing.
“Nobody at my grocery store, thank God masks and frequent testing, got coronavirus. I think they work.”
FTFY, you living turd.

I don’t think fox has any idea where he’s going either. They probably wake up earlier than myself and start yelling WTF!!! How can we play this before people start reading the morning news…
SO SAD!

I think it’s more that it would also mess up his god-awful gossamer-delicate orange hairdo, exposing his pasty-white lich skull.
