Refusal to wear mask

During a visit to a Ford Motor Co plant in Michigan in May, US President refused to wear a face mask, drawing flak from all corners. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said that Trump is a “petulant child” who refuses to follow rules, adding that US President is sending “worst possible mess” to those people who can’t afford to get exposed to virus.

Speaking to CNN, Nessel said that Trump is sending a mess that he doesn't care about people's health and welfare and only cares about himself. Before leaving for Michigan, Trump had made a sarcastic remark in front of reporters saying that he 'tested positively toward negative' for coronavirus.  

Trump said, "I tested very positively in ar sense. I tested positively toward negative. I tested perfectly this morning, meaning I tested negative."
