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.

It would have been the defining leadership moment of his presidency. As I mentioned earlier, I think he just doesn't know how to govern so he decided early in to just go with the "hoax" angle. 

Even coming out now and saying "supporters, you NEED to wear masks. Red states, you NEED to tell people to wear masks" would help schools be in a better position to open sooner. 

I don't want schools open until it's safe for my students, but that will happen sooner if we just all wear masks.
