I just saw Trump leaving the rally. Why would they be wearing masks?

A lot of federal agencies have mask mandates right now. As federal agents, it’s possible they’re required to wear them on the clock.
That's what I was thinking as well. Highly probable, have to keep the optics up of "the science".
Why?
Biggest reason for masks on the good guys is identity concealment. Messes with the facial recognition software which makes harder for the baddies to get a real handle on things. Practical as well since they like to go after people's families.
Taken from secretservice.gov:
"How long do former presidents receive Secret Service protection after they leave office?
In 1965, Congress authorized the Secret Service (Public Law 89-186) to protect a former president and his/her spouse during their lifetime, unless they decline protection."
So Trump security detail is assigned, meaning it's already known who they are somewhat negating the need for concealment. At least anyone interested in figuring out who they are, I'm sure could via Gov resources.
If Gov is pushing masks should be worn, you can't have fed employees running around maskless can you?
