I watch a lot of news, but I never heard Trump tell people not to wear masks
or to not socially distance.

He held some rallies. People went to the rallies without masks, and they sat 
right next to each other. But we don't have any laws against that. I went to 
the beach a month ago, and hardly anyone was wearing a mask there either. 

We have the freedom to take a chance with the coronavirus. The president can't
actually close the border with Mexico or Canada, so he's not going to achieve 
100% protection from infected foreigners. Americans are spoiled, and they're 
not going to stop going to Walmart. Sometimes we forget our masks at home, and
when we get to the store, we will get testy about not being able to enter 
without the mask.

I sense that Democrats want to pressure the president into taking 
authoritative actions to combat the virus, but some of this stuff is too much 
for Americans. Mask mandate? Try to force a mask onto a WWII veteran and 
seehow that goes. Self-quarrantine? Tell that to our illegal immigrant 
community. Social distancing? Tell that to the idiots who are hosting huge 
parties.

Pressuring the president into making executive orders that sound like 
authoritarian orders, just so people can say "See? He really IS a dictator!" 
it's just not happening.
