President Donald J. Trump has executed a deal to screw the National Guard bigly.
In 2017, Trump signed a new GI Bill that permitted National Guard members to qualify for education benefits if they serve on active duty for 90 days or more. There was a lavish signing ceremony, rare praise for Trump, and good optics all around.
In 2020, the world is a different place. Trump calls up the National Guard to assist in cleaning up his Covid crisis. The National Guard gets arguably the dirtiest work possible: cleaning and disinfecting nursing home rooms where Covid positive patients have died.
Yesterday, a Trump official announced that all National Guard involvement WILL be wrapped up WITHOUT EXCEPTION by June 24th.
What is the significance of June 24th?
It is the 89th day of deployment for National Guard troops.
