US President Trump, who long considered a mask against corona unnecessary, now calls wearing such protection patriotic.
He does that on Twitter with a photo of himself wearing a dark mask.
Many people say it is patriotic to wear a face mask if you cannot keep a sufficient distance, the president’s tweet said.
“No one is more patriotic than me, your favourite president!”
He again emphasizes that the coronavirus was first diagnosed in China: “We are united in our attempt to defeat the invisible China virus.”
Trump recently appeared in public with a facemask.
