I think wearing masks is reasonable in many (but not all) situations, but please stop with the "but Trump said" nonsense. It's really not helpful. At best it will make some people not wear one just to spite you.
Anyone with an IQ greater than 80 can see the gaping logic hole in that argument. Let's break it down.
If masks and PPE are ineffective against Coronavirus, then why do healthcare providers need it?
The answer is, masks ARE effective against COVID. They just didn't want the public to hoard supply.
It's a cynical move. But completely understandable. And the martyrs of the forum (Looking at Excargodog) will throw their hands up and exclaim, "I'll never trust the gobmen't again!" like he's a wounded dog.
Spare us the fake outrage.
Trump, on the other hand, considers it a personal attack against him if you wear a mask. He's been telling people for months that the virus is going away
"like a miracle." Wearing a mask contradicts his message. He doesn't like that.
