His decision goes against the policies of the facility, the governor's executive order and follows warnings from the state's attorney general.
President Trump failed to wear a face mask as he toured a Ford facility in Michigan that’s manufacturing ventilators and personal protective equipment on Thursday, going against the policies of the facility, the governor’s executive order and warnings from the state’s attorney general.... [+]ASSOCIATED PRESSAsked about his decision, Trump claimed that “I had one on before...but I didn’t want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it” and pulled a navy face mask out.
Calls for Trump to wear a mask have increased after a personal valet of his tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this month, as well as Vice President Mike Pence's spokesperson Katie Miller, causing the White House to shift to daily testing of staffers. Trump has been coy this week on whether he would don a mask or not, saying Tuesday,"Where it’s appropriate, I would do it, certainly,” and then commenting before departing Thursday,"Well I don't know, we’re gonna look at it...I want to get our country back to normal."
Trump's visit is counter to Governor Gretchen Whitmer's executive order banning all non-essential in-person visits to manufacturing facilities—though it's been waived for Trump—while forgoing a mask violates Ford's policies and a separate executive order that requires masks be worn in enclosed spaces.
