Trump Touts Mask Wearing as Patriotic in New Tweet

President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Monday to appeal to those who may not be 100 percent on board with wearing a face mask or covering.

In a tweet, President Trump touted patriotism as the reason to wear a mask when you can't socially distance.

Critics of the president have called for him to be more outspoken about wearing a mask, a position the president hasn't always embraced. It was just a couple of weeks ago that the president was first photographed in public wearing a mask during a visit to Walter Reed Medical Center.

President Trump will host a coronavirus briefing on Tuesday where the topic of mask wearing will probably come up.
