Is the reason why republicans don’t want to wear masks, because trump said the virus is a hoax?

Answer 1

Favourite answer

Yes. Many believe him about that.

Answer 2

Childish contrariness. Tell them "Don't wear a face mask!" and they will.

Answer 3

Each person takes their own responsibility. Just because commie dems follow like sheep doesn't mean everyone does.  Having said that.. I think most people should and do wear masks now.

Answer 4

Trump calling the virus a hoax was a lie pushed on left-wing media just like the lie that Trump called white supremacists fine people. Trump called the democrats using the virus to attack him thier new hoax. He didnt call the virus a hoax. Left wing media constantly took Trumps comments out of context to attack and lie about him because they know the TDS suffering crowd will not only believe the lie but repeat it.

Answer 5

Trump downplayed the virus, said masks dont' work, When he got the virus he got a cocktail of special drugs that are not available to the rest of us.   He does not care who lives or dies except for himself.

Answer 6

They think that they cannot get the virus.

Answer 7

Sure, they can always helicopter to the hospital get experimental drugs or quarantine at one of their other homes like Jr. in his well-appointed cabin.
