Trump demands everyone be tested before visiting him but will not demand the same for Americans before "reopening" the country. Conclusion: He doesn't give a darn about your life.

If you worked for this administration you are complicit in what happened on Monday. If you work for Fox News you are complicit. If you voted against removal in the Senate trial you are complicit. If you vote for Trump in Nov. you are complicit. You should be shamed and shunned.
