To accommodate Trump’s sudden decision to speak at West Point, cadets will be called back, tested off campus, then isolated for 14 days in rooms with masks. They’ll eat in segregated groups. No decision on whether family members may attend.

1. No words.

2. This is bullshit.

Endangering our cadets to placate Trump's vanity. Disgusting.

12. It won't happen. The entire story is in the final paragraphs.

Quote:

And no one knows what twist the coronavirus could take in New York by June 13. West Point officials say they will follow the guidance from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Army.

“We’ll go by what they all say at that time,” said Colonel Ophardt, the academy spokesman.



It’s all just a ploy to keep Trump happy for a few days.

24. Dump's

fugly head will explode when Gov Cuomo nixes this plan.

3. Anything to feed Trump's warped ego

4. Trump is a selfish monster!

This is psychopathic!

5. 1000 chances to infect the worst president in the history of our country

18. You are a optimist.

Way to look at the bright side. You deserve credit. Hope springs eternal.

[milestogo]

20. Thanks, its my nature.

[Hekate]

6. I hope they see him for what he is

That is all

[SheltieLover]

25. Me too!

Can you imagine taking a new job & having the CEO behaving this way? 😳

[Claustrum]

7. The virus is not a huge problem and we should reopen

But coming close to our dear leader? You better be isolating for days and be tested first before you come close. But it's definitely fine for everyone else to go out and work, because.....

[brewens]

8. "Support The Troops!" Add that to the long list of things Trump worshippers get to STFU

about.

9. Are They Flying Back To West Point On Their Dime Or On The Taxpayers Dime?.....

Who is picking up the tab for this fiasco? Are these cadets required to attend this or can they make the decision not to go?

He's making them put themselves in peril. They'll be coming in from all states - even those that are hot spots. This seems dangerous to me. Does he want to get blamed for having them break their self-isolation stay-at-home orders and maybe a portion of this class comes down with Covid-19?

11. I'm sure it will be on our dime. n/t

[notdarkyet]

22. Are they going to stay in a trump hotel so he can make some money? He's desperately broke.

10. He can't have Pence upstage him!

Pence went to Colorado Springs for the USAF Academy graduation, so he has to go to West Point.

It won't be quite the rousing rally type of crowd he may be expecting, if the Army follows the same social distancing precautions that the Air Force did:

19. And there were no guests. No handshake. No diplomas handed over. Livestreamed. Heck, even

The T-birds did not hang around.

[Thomas Hurt]

13. Too bad they can't just tell the Pig to f**k off.

All this hassle for the Pig's petty vanity.

[notdarkyet]

23. Maybe he'll get sick. I read you an get reinfected.

[SunSeeker]

14. It would be interesting to hear what proportion are Covid-19 positive.

I hope they announce that statistic.

[gibraltar72]

15. What if they get a note from their Doctor saying they have bone spurs?

[niyad]

16. How much do you want to bet that the narcissistic murderer will follows NO CDC guidelines?

That he will insist on shaking the cadets' hands?

One wonders how much extra this ego-stroking photo op will cost us? And how many cadets will become ill?

[Jamastiene]

17. I wish that selfish prick would stop speaking at all.

Now, students have to risk their lives and go through a bunch of shit for him to go somewhere and speak. Can't he fucking STFU?

[Takket]

21. no president has ever held such contempt for the military as drumpf.

[SheltieLover]

26. What if they all are no shows?

Calling in sick?

[Gothmog]

27. Everyone is leery about bringing 1,000 cadets into the New York metropolitan area for a ceremony
