Trump Busted For Faking Supporters Wearing Masks At His Rallies

Trump Busted For Faking Supporters Wearing Masks At His Rallies

"SNIP.....

CNN’s Jim Acosta detailed how Trump is handing out masks to the people standing behind him to create a false impression of mask-wearing.

Acosta said, “We should point out that there are very few people practicing social distancing. Very few people wearing masks. But I want to point out one thing. Behind the podium where the president will speak later this evening, the campaign has been very strategic about this. Having those supporters wear MAGA masks to give the impression to people tuning in from home that people at these rallies are, in fact, wearing masks when in fact, that is a very small minority of the people who come to these rallies.”

You could - now stay with me here - turn the cameras around and show the crowd of people in front of Trump and how they're not masked. I know! It's hard to believe someone didn't think of this before.

These rallies are, after all, Trump Productions.

But the media uses their own cameras at these trDumpie Nazi Rally Events and their own camera man,... then feed the studio with onsite videos of the Fascist con-flab,... I mean confab.

7. My favorite was seeing a clip this morning where one lady...

was wearing a medical-style mask while everyone else had obviously just been handed trump-branded masks that all looked the same. It was clear that the lady in the medical mask did not trust the masks that the trump campaign was handing out (as well she shouldn't).
