First lady Melania Trump showed up to vote on Tuesday without a mask, in direct violation of Palm Beach County’s Covid-19 regulations. “It’s Election Day, so I wanted to come here to vote today for the election,” she told reporters after casting a ballot. President Trump didn’t accompany her, as he had already voted early.

In September, FLOTUS was one of the dozens infected during the White House’s coronavirus outbreak. Her decision to vote today without a mask suggests she’s either bought into her husband’s immunity theory, or — as so many of her sartorial choices would imply — that she simply doesn’t care what you think about her.
