Same with wearing masks. If wearing masks slows the effects of the virus then that will HELP Trump. So if all liberals cared about was Trump losing we would be telling everyone NOT to wear masks.
This.
Trump really can't be the pro mask guy after he's railed against it or months, but he'd have been wise to take that position. The longer people dig their heels in on opposing masks and other COVID protocol, the less likely he is to get re-elected. Most of the things he wants to see happen will likely increase the rate of infection, including his rallies.
Even with his lassiez-faire stance on virus containment, any decrease only serves to help his chances at a second term. He should have been championing masks and regulations from the beginning. it would have saved him a lot of trouble.
