Early 2020, I was so convinced Trump would put a stop to the mask/lockdown madness. He seemed to be going in that direction, calling it a Dem hoax, but then he just quit doing that and went along with their every word. He even caved in to the masks when he was asked why he doesn't wear one.
I suspect that Trump knew the election was coming up and he wanted to prove to Democrats how "not racist" he is and how much he does indeed "follow the science". He didn't want to be seen as an uneducated, racist hillbilly. That's what I suspect - he wanted to be the most popular president across political lines. He wanted that status he had back.
