I don't think anyone on this board would confuse me for someone who has anything nice to say about the current POTUS.
That being said, that tweet is more than a little bit what I hate about the "gotcha" culture we can't get enough of in our sad and pathetic society. The original tweet from the woman saying she wouldn't wear a mask, was made on May 9. The one saying she wants the same mask being worn by the POTUS was on July 11. How do we know this person hasn't already started wearing a mask? How do we know she didn't start taking the virus more seriously over the last two months? That's a long time to evolve your position, particularly if the virus has become a bigger deal where you live.
Unless the person being ridiculed steadfastly refused to wear a mask through July 10, and then only said she would wear one on July 11 - after seeing a pic of POTUS wearing a mask - there is no real story there, other than someone trolling for their gotcha moment of the day.
