NO..... They're removing the plexiglass!

@Acosta
Both campaigns agreed to have plexiglass removed after consulting with Doctor Fauci, a source involved confirms to CNN. The plexiglass was deemed not necessary by Fauci as both Trump and Biden have tested negative.

Oh well, if Fauci said it's ok, I guess I feel a bit better. But I wanted the glass to block Trump in case he runs near Biden.

Honestly I doubt it matters one way or the other given the beating Trump is cruising toward but little things like that could make a difference in a close race.

Dr. Fauci said it would be safe so in order to stick to what he said, he agreed.

Personally I wish they would have kept the plexiglass up!

Chump doesn't have the balls to try that with a man on stage. NOTE: I almost typed "another man on stage", and decided not to grant Chump that distinction. He's nothing more than a chicken-shit, loud-mouthed, misogynistic bully.

First of all, it's a mistake to trust Trump, his campaign or his doctors, no matter what they say about his health status.

Secondly, even with the muted mikes, this now gives Trump a chance to shout down Biden or even invade his personal space without having a physical barrier there.

Lastly, it gives the appearance of normalcy, when there should still be an awareness that this virus is out of control and Trump is doing absolutely NOTHING to prevent its spread. Why not have as many safety precautions as possible? This is bullshit!
