Where did Trump tell people to ignore medical professionals and refuse to wear masks or tell people not to wear masks? Please provide a source for that. I see that you are fibbing again.
You keep calling me a liar, please stop that. I never said Trump told people not to wear masks. I said Trump encouraged people to ignore medical advice, which he did.
Lets look at what I actually said, since you didn't quote me when you made your accusation.
Trump made things WORSE by refusing to wear masks,
This is not a lie. He didn't wear a mask in public until July 12th. He avoided wearing them until then, even when visiting mask factories and in close contact with people and when he was asked to wear one he refused. This made things worse, by encouraging his followers to emulate his bad behavior. He didn't put on a mask until far, far after everyone else was. SInce then he's gone from saying masks are good to saying they have problems to making fun of people for using them. All over the map.
by telling people it was a hoax,
This is not a lie. Trump said this outright in a campaign speech. You want a video of it?
by encouraging people to ignore the health professionals.
This is not a lie. Here is some more anti-mask talk by Trump.
“Now there are, by the way, a lot of people don’t want to wear masks"
"There are a lot of people think that masks are not good.”
Howe about this? He directly contradicted Dr. Redfield. That's directly telling people to disregard medical advice.
Dr. Robert Redfield, the head of the CDC. Redfield testified about masks, saying: “We have clear scientific evidence they work, and they are our best defense. I might even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against Covid than when I take a Covid vaccine.”
Trump challenged that comment, saying, “Number one, it’s not more effective, by any means, than a vaccine.”Then look at the super spreader event he hosted, where nobody nobody had to wear masks or social distance. That infected a dozen people that we know of so far. Trump has been all over the map here too, and has stated many times his disdain for masks and people who use them and their effectiveness.
He made fun of Biden for wearing a mask.
How about his pushing of Hydroxychloroquine when medical professionals were advising against it?
He's made this disaster worse. No lie.
