Guns N' Roses' 'Live and Let Die' blared as President Trump toured a face mask factory in Arizona
Touching down in Phoenix in midafternoon, Trump visited a Honeywell International Inc factory making N95 face masks for healthcare workers. The facility was rushed into service in less than five weeks because of a shortage of the protective equipment and is producing face masks for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Trump told reporters as he left the White House earlier on Tuesday that he would likely wear a mask at the facility. The White House did not immediately respond to a query on why Trump did not wear a face mask at the Honeywell plant. The virus is known to have infected more than 1.2 million people in the United States, including at least 70,000 who have died, according to a Reuters tally.
