Official Presidential Recommendation:

"You do not have to do it," he said. "I don't think I'm going to be doing it."

Let’s be clear it wasn’t just Trump saying you don’t need masks. Everyone, Democrats and Republicans, both politicians and private individuals, were amplifying the same obvious lies. Why people didn’t trust their own common sense and reality around them is beyond me.

Let's be clear, that was a quote from Trump yesterday, when he was announcing the recommendation

edit: And to be clear, this wasn't a one-off quote. He made repeated variations of it. At best, he confused the message. At worst, he contradicted it.
