Trump shares tweet that argues face masks represent 'silence, slavery, and social death'

"Masks aren't about public health but social control," a conservative columnist tweeted, linking to a Federalist piece. "Image of Biden in black mask endorses culture of silence, slavery, and social death."
Trump retweeted that message to his 80 million followers, saying, "So many different viewpoints!"
The president has refused to wear a face mask, even when he's unable to social distance from others, despite the CDC's recommendation and significant evidence that face coverings help contain the spread of COVID-19.
