Former President Donald Trump refused to wear a mask at the height of the COVID pandemic because it smudged his makeup, a former aide claims.

Trump made the decision to forgo masks while visiting a Honeywell factory that produced the highly sought products in May 2020, according to Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, in her new book, “Enough.”

She wrote that the former president chose to wear a white mask for the event, and asked staffers what they thought of it.

“I slowly shook my head,” Hutchinson writes. “The president pulled the mask off and asked why I thought he should not wear it.”

In response, Hutchinson said she pointed to the straps of her own mask — prompting the president to look down at his own, which is when he “saw they were covered in bronzer.”

“Why did no one else tell me that?” the president reportedly replied. “I’m not wearing this thing.”

The former president claimed, though, at the time he “had a mask on for a period of time” but decided not to wear one after getting the OK from the “head of Honeywell.”

“The press would criticize him for not wearing a mask, not knowing that the depths of his vanity had caused him to reject masks — and then millions of his fans followed suit,” Hutchinson writes.

In another instance, Hutchinson said, Trump invited lawmakers to the White House the night before Thanksgiving 2020 — but when they were tested for COVID, some came back positive.

Hutchinson said she decided to only allow those who tested negative to attend the event, to which Trump reportedly spat back, “I said everyone! Bring them all! Bring them all now!”

Doctors who heard the exchange “urged” her to “push back,” but she was told she “was not in the business of defying the president’s orders,” Hutchinson said.

Eventually, she wrote, Trump’s personal physician, Sean Conley, reluctantly agreed to allow all the guests — under the condition that those who tested positive wear a mask.

But “when everyone had filed into the Oval Office [Trump] instructed the masked guests to take off their masks,” Hutchinson writes.

“He assured them it was more important for him to see their beautiful faces, [and] said he was not worried about contracting the virus.”

During his presidency, Trump repeatedly refused to wear masks.

“I just don’t want to be doing — somehow sitting in the Oval Office, behind that beautiful Resolute Desk, the great Resolute Desk, I think, wearing a face mask as I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens,” he said, according to ABC News.

“I don’t know, it somehow, I don’t see it for myself.”

The former president also expressed skepticism about their effectiveness, and painted his 2020 rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, as weak for wearing one.

When he was asked at a September 2020 White House briefing why he did not wear a mask to set an example to his followers, Trump replied: “Well I’m tested, and I’m sometimes surprised when I see somebody sitting … like with Joe.

“Joe feels very safe in a mask,” he said, referring to Biden. “I don’t know, maybe he doesn’t want to expose his face. There’s no reason for him to have masks on.

“We get tested — I’m tested. I have people tested. When people come into the Oval Office, it’s like a big deal. No matter who they are — if they’re heads of countries, they all get tested.

“So I’m in sort of a different position,” he said. “And maybe if I wasn’t in that position, I’d be wearing it more.”
