Trump criticizes Biden over mask mandate
Business Insider ^ | 9/15/2020 | Oma Seddiq

President Donald Trump criticized his Democratic presidential rival, Joe Biden, on Tuesday evening for failing to enforce a national mask mandate — but Biden, as a candidate, has no authority to do so.

Trump leveled the attack after being asked by a voter during an ABC News town hall why he had not supported universal mask-wearing.

"A good question is, you ask, like Joe Biden. They said, 'We're going to do a national mandate on masks,'" Trump said Tuesday evening. "But he didn't do it, I mean, he never did it."

Trump was referring to a policy promise that Biden stressed last month as part of his plan to fight the pandemic if elected. Biden has since walked back on the idea from a federal level, citing potential constitutionality issues, and instead said he would encourage governors to do so and lead by example by wearing face coverings publicly.

“ but Biden, as a candidate, has no authority to do so”

Neither does the President, that was Trump’s point. LOL

Yep. After 5 years, these clowns still don't get Trump.

Arguably the most brilliant political strategist of all time.

I love how the leftists are all starting to call them “face coverings” instead of masks. They must think they will gain more acceptance with that.

Big Trump fan, but I think
it’s in combination with the
dumbest media of all time.
