Yesterday, Fox host Trace Gallagher questioned whether Trump would drop out of November's presidential race. And today, Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy has pushed for Trump to wear a mask in at least two different segments.

“More states every day are mandating people, their citizens to wear masks and I think that if the president wore one, it would just set a good example,” he said to RNC Chair and truth spinner Ronna McDaniel. “He would be a good role model. I don’t see any downside to the president wearing a mask in public.”

It would be a powerful symbol."

Steve Doocy presses Rep. Kevin McCarthy on Trump's hesitancy to be seen wearing a mask: "It's symbolic, obviously it's patriotic because you're not only protecting yourself, you're protecting other people. ... It would be a powerful symbol."
