Mask Up, Skippy.
Ford Motor says that Trump has to wear a mask when he comes for a photo-op in Michigan this Thursday. The spokeswoman for Ford said ….
“Our policy is that everyone wears PPE to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” McCleery said. “We shared all of Ford’s safety protocols, including our manufacturing playbook, employee pamphlet and self-assessment survey with the White House ahead of time and in preparation for this trip.”
Oh dear! Non-smearing make-up suggestions, anyone?
I think what he was counting on is that his least favorite governor – Gretchen Whitmer – ordered a ban on non-essential factory tours. That would include Ford. Trump would love to be banned. She didn’t take the bait.
You can place your bet on Trump canceling the tour at Window 3.
Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
A simple preventative hygiene, morphed into exquisite panic, anxiety and loathing.
The Corporate gods are indeed vengeful and playful.
1I feel it is a pretty safe bet that either he will not tour (may send Pence) or will force them to allow him in without mask. He is not willing to have a mask on for photo ops and let’s face it–any tour is a photo op and not because he is really wanting to understand how things are going.
2Star @ 1,
I hope they have enough spine to stick to their mask policy and tell him he’ll only be allowed to visit if he wears a mask.
3He WILL show up. He WILL try and bully himself in. Let’s hope they have the guts to stick to their guns.
4Now if he would have a gag under that mask!
5And Cheryl #4 – be careful saying guns in Michigan.
39 gallon size yard bag should be sufficient to tie over Covidiot* 45’s head w/o smearing his make-up. Be sure to use one of his* overly long ties to secure the bag around his neck.
6Grandma Ada @ 5,
Duct tape works on all things.
7Ford has rolled over and is begging the master to pet its belly. Bloomberg reports “A company spokeswoman told the outlet Ford would defer to the White House’s own policies on mask-wearing.”
I’m sure the C-suite drones will try to only exhale while Trump is there, then drench themselves in sanitizer. But they’ll line up the workers behind Trump and order them to smile.
8Maybe Ford can get get Keith Richards to tell Trump to put on a mask or else.
9Not to ever take you to task Ms. J J but you neglected the best part of the article.
Spoiler alert: ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’.

10Well, that didn’t take them long to roll over.
11And, in a gutless turn-around, Ford said, All right, you don’t have to wear the mask.
12I mean, honestly, when will someone make him follow the rules?
Oh myyy! I work at an auto plant. I wish the dumbass would pay a visit to the one where I work. Although that might not make much of a difference. When Bill Clinton visited a plant I worked at back in the day, management uninvited anyone who was a vocal detractor of the President. With this clod? Stakes are higher. They’d probably furlough half the plant.
