Yup. There is not a single typically conservative concept that Trump defenders won't abandon if they think they smell a hint of criticism that could go his way.
Now its the concept of Preparedness. Each person taking care of themself instead of waiting for gov't to do it that is being attacked.
It is imminently sensible to let every American who wants a mask to get one now while there is no emergency.and while the manufacturers can ramp up supply to meet demand.
To tell them 'no don't do it. there is no emergency here now' and for the gov't to then not buy the masks just backlogs demand should this hit true emergency levels in the US. everyone who hears the gov't cry to wait now, surely would not wait if the US ends up like China at the virus' peak. There will be no one delaying at that point to ensure a health worker can get their first. It will be every person for themselves.
It's not even a conservative or liberal thing. He's laughing at the idea of masks designed to help prevent the transmission of micro organisms being ancillary during a pandemic in which the most powerful nation on Earth puts a man who believes in praying away HIV and homosexuality in charge of the response.
