I think that the masks, it is well

The billionaire republican is very reluctant to wear a mask and only appeared once in public with this protection. Before, " everybody said "do not mask", suddenly everyone has to wear a mask, and as you know the masks cause problems also. That said, I believe the masks. I think that the masks, it is well, " he said. The United States deplore up here 140 000 deaths due to the coronavirus.
Its rival, the democratic candidate for the White House, Joe Biden, has strongly taken these new declarations of Donald Trump. "When we speak of coronavirus, it is not necessary to believe a word of what he says ", said the former vice-president of Barack Obama, in a press release. "Mr. president, your ignorance is not a virtue or a sign of your strength — it undermines our response to this unprecedented crisis, and costs their jobs and their lives to Us ", he added. "It is high time for president Trump to listen to someone other than himself on how to fight the virus, because after six months of poor management of lethal, it is becoming even more uncontrollable ", he concluded.
