The entire Trump family, like just Donald Trump, posed for photo-ops with facemasks after the presidential debate. Critics called the move an attempt ''to prove a point that they care for the nation's well being.''

Masks were a requirement for all attendees of the event, and the Commission on Presidential Debates warned that anyone who removed their mask would be escorted out.

While most of the family members did enter the first debate with masks on (pictured), they were photographed without them as soon as they took their seats.

The Trump family's laissez faire attitudes toward masks backfired in the wake of the first debate, when dozens of people in the White House tested positive for coronavirus - including the president himself.
