Even Fox & Friends Is Begging Trump to Wear a Mask

preview

Things you buy through our links may earn New York a commission.It’s become painfully clear over the past few years how much Donald Trump listens to hosts on Fox News, but we may soon find out the extent of their influence. On Monday morning, Fox &amp; Friends’ Steve Doocy pressed Republican leaders why Trump is so reluctant to publicly wear a face mask and encourage their use.“If the president wore one, it would just set a good example. He’d be a good role model. I don’t see any downside to the president wearing a mask in public,” Doocy told Republican National Committee Ronna McDaniel.&nbsp; “‘MAGA’ should now stand for ‘Masks Are Great Again.’”Steve Doocy presses the RNC chair on Donald Trump's refusal to wear a mask in public: "If the president wore one, it would just set a good example. He'd be a good role model. I don't see any downside to the president wearing a mask in public." — Bobby Lewis (@revrrlewis)Doocy hit on the same theme in an :“He’s made it clear he doesn’t want to wear a mask, but his federal government said everybody should wear a mask. Don’t you think it would be a powerful symbol if the President of the United States would put on a mask and would understand what so many people around the country are doing to slow the spread of this thing?”And Doocy wasn’t the only one making this point. Dr. Marc Siegel, a Fox News regular, said Tuesday that Trump should wear a mask. He added, though, that “masks don’t work as well as people are touting.” Monday night, even Sean Hannity endorsed mask wearing. He did not call out Trump though.Hannity: I went to my grocery store every week. Guess what? They wore masks... I think they work. — Acyn (@Acyn)Leaders of the GOP, excluding Trump, are also calling on people to wear masks. “Wearing simple face coverings is not about protecting ourselves. It is about protecting everyone we encounter,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on the floor Monday. “We must have no stigma — none — about wearing masks when we leave our homes and come near other people.” Vice-President Mike Pence, who has been seen in a mask much more than Trump, also encouraged masks over the weekend.If none of these people can get Trump to change his tune on masks, which he’s mocked reporters for wearing, maybe Goldman Sachs’ chief economist can. In a note to clients y, Jan Hatzius wrote that a national mask mandate “could potentially substitute for lockdowns that would otherwise subtract nearly 5% from GDP.”Daily news about the politics, business, and technology shaping our world.This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Googleandapply.Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy NoticeBy submitting your email, you agree to our and and to receive email correspondence from us.Things you buy through our links may earn New York a commission.THE FEEDCharles is now officially the kingKing Charles became the monarch after the death of his mother, but a meeting formally confirmed it on Saturday.

New York is an American biweekly magazine concerned with life, culture, politics, and style generally, and with a particular emphasis on New York City. Founded by Milton Glaser and Clay Felker in 1968 as a competitor to The New Yorker, it was brasher and less polite, and established itself as a cradle of New Journalism. Over time, it became more national in scope, publishing many noteworthy articles on American culture by writers such as Tom Wolfe, Jimmy Breslin, Nora Ephron, John Heilemann, Frank Rich, and Rebecca Traister.
