[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] As the number of deaths from the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) worldwide surpassed 500,000, a photo of a man wearing a mask over his eyes has become a hot topic on Twitter on the 29th.

The man is wearing a red hat with the slogan "Make America Great Again!" which suggests he is a supporter of President Donald Trump.

President Trump, who ran the MAGA (Make America Great Again) campaign when he was elected in 2016, changed his campaign slogan to "Keep America Great" for his 2020 re-election campaign.

The white male supporter of President Trump is drawing criticism for wearing the hat and using the mask to cover his eyes like an eye patch instead of covering his nose and mouth while on an airplane.

This white man is being criticized for wearing the hat and using the mask to cover his eyes like an eye patch instead of his nose and mouth while on the plane.

In contrast, the children sitting behind him are wearing their masks properly.

President Trump is known to dislike wearing masks. He tends not to wear masks in public appearances or during campaign rallies.

The Twitter user who shared the photo wrote, "There is no better scene to show why the U.S. cannot control the COVID-19 outbreak."

Another Twitter user suggested that the photo might have been photoshopped or taken with intent by someone.

The netizen who originally posted the photo said, "A friend of a friend living in Ohio took this photo personally," asserting that the photo is not fake.

Most netizens criticized the airline for allowing improper mask-wearing and agreed that the man should be immediately removed from the plane or arrested upon landing.

Meanwhile, in March, the American magazine The New Yorker used an illustration of President Trump wearing a mask over his eyes as its cover photo. At the time, The New Yorker chose this cover to criticize President Trump, who claimed to be handling COVID-19 prevention well.

The photo of the white man covering his eyes with a mask on the plane quickly sparked numerous parodies online, even inspiring the satirical slogan "Make America Dumb Again!"
