President Trump spoke today in the Rose Garden about Coronavirus, his administration’s role in assisting diabetics with insulin prices, and to take questions from reporters. It’s not uncommon these days to see sparks fly between a majority left-leaning press core and President Trump.
Likely, Trump goes out on the defensive when he speaks to reporters these days. Today he fielded questions about his tweets alleging Joe Scarborough of MSNBC is connected with a murder investigation, questions on mail-in voting, and others. In on particular exchange a reporter had a question that the president could not hear.
President Trump asked if he could temporarily remove his mask so that he could hear his question. Instead, the reporter said that he would not and that he’d rather just speak louder.
President Trump called him out as being politically correct as can be seen below in the exchange. Afterward, some reporters removed their masks to ask their preceding questions. The Hill tweeted:
President Trump: “Can you take [the mask] off because I cannot hear you?”
Reporter: “I’ll just speak louder, sir.”
Trump: “Oh okay, because you want to be politically correct.”
Reporter: “No, sir, I just want to wear the mask.”

Many state are requiring people to wear masks when they go to stores and other places. For example, Friday Virginians will have to abide by a mask rule initiated by Democrat Governor Ralph Northam, who ironically, was spotted a few days ago not social distancing or with a mask at the Virginia Beach oceanfront.
