The president would not have had to mandate wearing masks or social distancing. All he had to do was give full support to the recommendations of the CDC on mask wearing and social distancing. However what we got from the president was comments about mask wearing being an individual choice and comments casting doubt on it's effectiveness such as, "Some people say their great, other that their good, and not so great". This is not how you convince the public to do something that is inconvenient and unpleasant at times.
Anyone can go to he CDC site for information about mask wearing. "Masks should NOT be worn by children under the age of 2 or anyone who has trouble breathing," is one of the guidelines. Imagine if Trump stupidly told everyone to wear masks and some folks died because of it. You'd be squealing about that. As we have seen over the past 3 years, the DNC and their lackey media will blame Trump for anything and everything he says, does or what they perceive he thinks. This is America we are free from Federal Government mandate to choose what we do and wear. Those mandates are for individual States to set.

"What the country needed was a campaign similar to what we had in 50's and 60's in the fight against Polio. We needed public ads on TV, posters, and public figures urging people to wear masks and keep social distance. What we got was rebellion against the only know method to prevent the spread of the disease, over 200,000 dead, and a president saying, "What will be, will be."
There was no mask wearing in the 50's and 60's polio epidemic. I am old enough to have lived through it. No one was told to social distance or had their businesses and jobs shut down and basically taken away. You just don't like Trump and, from your posting history, waste a lot of time coming up with "Orange Man Bad" diatribes.
