Coronavirus and those children in cages.

They're always in the back of our minds. Torn from their loved ones, caged, confused, scared, living in a grotesque Trump-made horror. And now, the Coronavirus.

Is anything being done to try to protect them? It's impossible to tell. And if one or more of them become ill, and perhaps dies, that's on Trump and everyone who voted for him.

We're helpless to do anything. But once Trump is out of the White House, he should be tried for crimes against humanity -- for so many reasons.

Trump and everyone who voted for him couldn't possibly care less. They just don't.

How can anything possibly be done to protect them? I mean, there's nothing being done to protect anyone in this country. There will be deaths, but it's anyone's guess whether or not the public will hear about them.

I don't know how trying him for anything will do any good, though, after the way he packed the courts. Republicans have shown that they really don't care, do they?

that it does on older people. I'm actually very thankful for that- not sure how the world would be able to handle this if it was killing children.

Trump should be sent to one of his baby-jails for the rest of his days.
