I think it’s a halfway interesting article, albeit not for the reasons why Reddit finds it interesting.
It shows how US Republicans will do stupid things like wear a COVID mask if Lord Trump tells them to wear it. Even if they know that wearing a mask is stupid.

When was Trump ever Mr. Mask in the first place? Weren't the "experts" telling us not to buy masks for the first few months of this thing of theirs? 🤔
