‘No. He said No. He said “Many say wearing masks is a sign of patriotism”
he did a photo op of himself in a mask; he said “Many say wearing masks is a sign of patriotism...’ he went on to say ‘there is nobody more patriotic than me...’ (should be I,BTW)
so ‘wearing a mask is patriotic’, and ‘nobody is more patriotic than me’ are two independent and unrelated phrases to you?
