At Thursday's White House press briefing, President Donald Trump attacked former Vice President Joe Biden for his proposal for a three-month national mask mandate.
Trump baselessly claimed that Biden favored "locking Americans in their basement for months on end" — something he hasn't once proposed doing, as the point of a mask mandate is to allow people to safely leave their homes. He also said, with no evidence, that Biden's plan would "shut down our health care system and lead to a massive increase in mortality."
The president added that "we've already accomplished" everything Biden wants to do, and he essentially "plagiarized" his plan.
