Please wear a mask.

In the past, President Trump had passed some controversial statements about the potentially deadly disease. He had called the pandemic a “hoax” and had said on record that he does not wear a mask. So a lot of celebrities took to Twitter and mocked him for his statements in the past.

They will have access to every medical support and intervention imaginable. I just hope I don’t have to hear later “it’s just a bad flu”.

As the US presidential elections are around the corner, a few netizens wondered if President Trump has actually contracted the virus or Is it a gimmick. Several celebrities tweeted “Protect Biden”, who is contesting against Trump. Many celebrities stated that the virus is “real” and that they “really don’t think this is a gimmick to get out of debating Biden”. Check out some of the tweets below.
If anything positive can come him testing positive, it would be his followers reevaluating their opinions. If they will now accept a lockdown, social distancing & mandatory mask-wearing, we could crush the virus like we should have from the start. #ButIAlsoBelieveInTheToothFairy https://t.co/uh0Y5FF4A7

PROTECT BIDEN

I really don’t think this is a gimmick to get out of debating Biden.. I don’t think his ego would allow him to be the poster child of not wearing masks and then test positive for covid. I think he got it banging hope.

Is it still a “Democrat hoax?” Are you still going to mock people for wearing masks? Are you sorry for lying to the American people for months? I ask these b/c I assume you’ll get the best taxpayer funded gov’t healthcare avail + genuinely hope you recover. But you owe us answers https://t.co/cOvMX7eElq
