Trump is willing to risk the health of these graduates for HIS EGO!
Trump announced on 17 April he would be giving the West Point commencement address this year.
According to the New York Times, that came as a surprise to West Point event organisers, who had yet to finalise graduation ceremony plans amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In a weekend editorial, the New York Daily News cautioned "there's no reason to believe that New York State, nor the academy itself, is prepared to host a graduation ceremony amidst a pandemic".
In a statement, the academy said approximately 1,000 cadets would have to return to campus to pack their dorm rooms, graduate and "eventually move to Army Officer Basic Training".
Cadets would be coming back to campus starting in late May and would be subject to a "detailed Covid screening, testing, quarantine, and integration plan", it added.
