This week, we’re discussing the fact that President Trump wants to recall West Point cadets from their home of record and transport them all to their campus in the Hudson Valley of New York in order to make them listen to him give a speech. There is nothing the military can do to prevent this, which means young people from basically all 50 states and a bunch of US territories will be traveling into the absolute center of the epidemic for no good reason, and then going straight back. Sad!https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/04/donald-trump-is-making-west-point-cadets-return-to-campus-so-he-can-give-a-speech
