Things that come out in juicy tell-all biographies from former White House staffers are, by definition, juicy, and it appears that the upcoming book from Mark Meadow’s former aide Cassidy Hutchinson looks to have enough to supply an Orange Julius. According to the New York Daily News, Hutchinson alleges Donald Trump refused to wear face masks during the coronavirus pandemic because it exposed his use of bronzer.
Hutchinson relates that during a visit to a Honeywell facility where they made masks in May 2020, she pointed out the straps of the white N95 mask Trump had been wearing on a facilities tour to the petulant president, who was horrified to see his cosmetics exposed. “Why did no one else tell me that?” he reportedly snapped. “I’m not wearing this thing.”
Trump was not seen in public until July 2020, when he made a visit to Walter Reed Military Medical Center to visit wounded soldiers, and he routinely mocked people who wore masks, likely contributing to MAGAts ignoring public health recommendations.
