On Monday, during his daily coronavirus briefing, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has been widely criticized for his initial policy regarding the coronavirus in which the state told nursing homes to accept residents back from the hospital even if they had the virus, which likely caused many more deaths than necessary, mocked President Trump, as the picture next to him showed a mask superimposed on Trump’s face as Cuomo intoned, “Put a mask on it.”
Cuomo stated, as a picture of Trump was shown next to him, “To start simply, the president can do two things: First: sign an executive order directing everyone to wear a mask. How we’re at this point as a nation and we still haven’t done the simple easy minimal step of saying you must wear a mask when you’re in public? And the president doesn’t have to pass a piece of legislation, doesn’t have to call the Congress; just sign an executive order saying wear a mask. We did it two months ago in this state. The other states are just starting to do it now.”
