Trump campaign blasted after report claims it considered making 'MAGA' masks

The Trump campaign was inundated with criticism over the week after it was discovered that it was apparently thinking about ordering coronavirus masks labeled:  'Make America Great Again." 

The Wall Street Journal reported that the campaign considered ordering the masks to hand out in exchange for donations. That gives the campaign a somewhat negative look. 

It's like, "If you give us a donation for President Trump's reelection, you get a coronavirus mask. If you don't, you get the Chinese Communist Wuhan Coronavirus."

Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said: “We have data that shows all Americans, seniors included, can see the president’s leadership on the coronavirus." He added that "[w]hen America begins its comeback, voters will respond.”

Brian Karem, a Playboy correspondent along with others pointed to a "Saturday Night Live" skit that had joked about the administration pushing "Make America Great Again" masks. "Is @realDonaldTrump trolling @nbcsnl for campaign ideas?" he wrote Saturday on Twitter.

While some say Trump has misplaced priorities regarding these masks while not providing enough masks for the country in the pandemic, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany defended the Trump administration's response in the first White House press conference in over a year. She pointed out that millions of masks were delivered to the country during the pandemic.

"The fact that, in the average year, the healthcare industry uses 25 million N95 masks, and we have delivered in this short time 75 million N95 masks -- more than three times what the healthcare sector uses in a year -- that’s extraordinary," she said.

"Seems like bad political strategy to slap your logo on an item that reminds voters you oversaw the largest mass casualty event in modern history," pollster Matt McDermott tweeted.

But leftists like McDermott would blame Trump for the casualties if a meteor struck the United States and killed millions.
