He's not distancing. Failure to distance is, to use the above analogy, a y behavior.
And natural selection is and shall continue to deliver a verdict to them. But I entirely disagree that most Americans or even more than 1/4 of Americans are refusing to wear masks. It's a slice of Trumpland engaging in that behavior. If Trump's base is 35% of voters, and we can thus extrapolate that it is 35% of America generally, I'd generously estimate 1/2 of Trump's base is anti-mask. (But 100% of those who'll show up at rallies.) That's 17.5% of society. The rest of us - even most rational Trump voters - are wearing masks.
I travel through heavy red areas and everyone is wearing masks, and most of these people are Trump voters.

I went to a wedding a few weeks ago where NO ONE wore masks except the people in my family. 62 people. The ceremony was outdoors, but they wanted us to go inside for "the Grand Entrance" and then to eat at tables that were too close together.
Usually I prefer to skip the ceremony and go to the reception. This time, we hightailed out of there as soon as possible after the ceremony. Most of the people there were 20s-30s, but some older as well.
People aren't wearing masks. At least not here.
Cases are lower now than they were this summer, but they're slightly increasing every week and officials are getting concerned.
