From an NBC news article Oct. 8 2020 regarding masks at Trump's campaign rallies:
"'We take strong precautions for campaign events. Every attendee has their temperature checked, masks are provided and their use is encouraged, and there is plenty of hand sanitizer' said Courtney Parella, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, when asked about what safety measures were being taken in light of the recent Covid-19 outbreak among White House and campaign aides."
I watched a bit of his rally in Pennsylvania today. Everyone in the grandstand behind him that fit into the camera frame had a mask on. Although masks are provided they are not required, and I didn't see any pictures of the huge crowd in front of and below his podium, so I don't know how many of them were wearing masks.
