“I’m a West Point graduate. Mr. President, they did NOT ask you to be there,” he tweeted Sunday. “You put your ego ahead of the safety of our future Army Officers. It’s just the latest example of you putting your own political interest ahead of our military readiness. You’re undeserving of the office.”
Many of the graduated cadets have already scattered across the country in an effort to help with the coronavirus crisis, reported the Times.
