President Joe Biden kicked off his trip to Asia with a virtue-signaling stunt-gone-viral as he arrived in South Korea. As he exited Air Force One, the president marched proudly down the stairs with a mask on — the outdoor stairs, with no one nearby — and then whipped the mask off to shake hands and chat closely with a group of roughly a dozen people.

A video shared by the Post Millennial has racked up more than 2 million views on Twitter, with many commenters jumping to the president's defense by pointing out that he was following "the science" that says we should all wear masks on airplanes to stay "safe." Thinking people, however, noted how quickly our commander in chief forgot what masks are actually supposed to do — unless, of course, their only purpose is to virtue-signal.
do you not understand the reason for wearing a mask?— 333 -.= (@333 -.=) 1653168507
Yes. It\u2019s to virtue signal.— FunkyPox (@FunkyPox) 1653172128
To protect yourself while walking down a flight of stairs alone. We all get it.— Dr. President Elect David \ud83c\udf51 (@Dr. President Elect David \ud83c\udf51) 1653169473
Yes we understand. Its virture signalling— Yisraela (@Yisraela) 1653168912
Yes, political theatre— TheCentralScrutinizer (@TheCentralScrutinizer) 1653226863
So, you can catch Covid from planes but not from people— Joseph Landis (@Joseph Landis) 1653223653
You\u2019re pretty gullible if you think he wore that mask for entire flight. He did have it on the entire walk down the steps and on the runway. He took it off as soon as he got close enough to breathe on people. He\u2019s either a virtue signaler or he\u2019s senile. Pick one.— Mimi's Thoughts (@Mimi's Thoughts) 1653306217
