Trump reverses on convention, masks, briefings as election looms and polling worsens
Largely ignoring calls for him to set an example by canceling large events and wearing a face covering, Trump this week appeared to start acceding to advice of public health officials -- even if he still sent mixed messages to the American public.
The president expressed no such concerns back in June, when he demanded that the Republican National Committee find a location for him to deliver a large-scale traditional address free of the public health restrictions. Tulsa’s top public health official later said the event likely contributed to a spike in coronavirus cases that the city saw in the weeks after the rally.
"I was very pleased to see the president wearing a mask and tweeting about masks," Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's foremost infectious disease expert, said in an interview with NPR.
