Trump insists that wearing a mask would send the wrong message.
You know what else would send the wrong message?
Dying.
Besides everything else that would do, imagine when Trump "go out there and huff bleach and return to work, what do you have to lose?" gets sick or dies while not obeying his own CDC's and his own task force's guidelines.
"It's safe (cough) to go (cough) back...to...work...." <bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep>
That would destroy his message in its entirely. It would
reverse it. The healthiest person to ever run for President, felled by the flu? What would the rabid fanbase do? Because I think their illusion would be shattered so hard, that unemployment would spike even higher.
The GOP should fear this more than any other American, of course. Besides proving they can't handle
literally anything, Pence has the charisma of a potted plant and couldn't beat, well, anyone even under normal times. Running after Trump gets sick and
dies? How many times will Biden say "Didn't Trump put you in charge of the task force?" in each debate? Forty-six? Maybe two more, just to prove Pence is a Tool.
There is no good result for the USA if Trump gets sick and dies. But for the Party of Trump, it would turn the slow death spiral into a hydrolic-assisted flush.
