    1. @gypsy Better question is, how old are you, 14? If you’re going to insult someone, say why and back it up,

    1. @jorge flores or vote for 45 who had done things TO them 😁😁 at this point it is about getting the Embarrassing psycho out of office

    2. Facts. What does Trump even know about math. Bankrupt casinos in lost that much money. So it doesn’t make sense for our children go back to school if we do the calculations. That equals our children’s death. Most flu and cold symptoms happens when our children are in school. So what do you think the coronavirus would do. Devastation!

  1. Trump is doing more harm than good. He and Pence are having the CDC soften their guidelines and it is not safe. Trump has no idea what he is talking about, he doesn’t care, and is dangerous. Don’t let more people die – especially our children. If schools open too early, the children will all be sick, FAST, and the schools will just have to close again. We’ll then have to deal with the sick children and all the adults they infect.

  2. Orange chicken don’t care about anyone but himself. I’m not sending my kid back to school until the government can get a handle on this epidemic.

    1. Exactly, I’m not going to send my daughter to school if there is a risk. Our children’s safety & health is our priority. Trump should send his kid & his grandkids back to school

    2. MrArchangel73521 thanks for the article there was someone spewing yesterday to 14thousand people that kids aren’t really at risk! We tried to tell him but he’s stubborn! Kids have been protected for the most part but this is exactly what happens when you put them together during a pandemic, they all get sick!! I worked in daycare for over 10 years and know better than anyone that no matter how hard you try kids will spread germs and when together in a confined space even in small groups will get each other sick! Daycares clean a lot too and kids still get sick!! Unless there’s tight social distances measurements and cleaning and masks sending kids back is just dangerous! It’s not going to be fair to kids really when you have to explain they can go to school but can’t be close to their friends, can’t sit with them, can’t touch them….. that’s all part of being a kid! This is a tough situation overall, I don’t know what a good solution would be? I do know that kids need to be safe above all else!

    3. @tonak1 tonak, the ONLY good thing about the virus is if it insures Trump does not get a second term!! Its unfortunate that people have to die for that to happen!! NOW YOU OPEN YOUR EYES AND HELP BY VOTING HIM OUT!!!

    4. Separate Realities The msm would like to think that. However Trump is here for four more years.

  3. Fox Federal Network News: Federal “Scientists” have made a great breakthrough in denying that COVID-19 exists. Sky Marshall Trump states: “It’s a great day to die”.
    WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE? [YES] [NO]

  4. Trump has politicized literally EVERYTHING since he started running for office. Now he is extorting states, just like Schiff said.

  5. Do you know how “great” t’rump is as a businessman? Instead of telling everyone in America they needed to masks and then selling MAGA masks to his cult of idiots, instead, he decided to fight the one thing we could all do to flatten the curve and in the process make getting the economy back in track by November completely out of reach. Now THAT is some Stable Genius level thinking right there! 😅😂

  6. At this point, trump’s words are just white noise to me. It goes in one ear and out the other.

  7. I’ve never seen a president so unhinged & stubborn that he would deliberately turn wearing a mask or reopening school into a culture war during a f-cking pandemic

    1. He turned a non political issue into a political one and then managed to wind up on the wrong side

    2. Thank Bolton for not testifying and republican senate for protecting him !!!! Pandemic,protests, millitary with bounties on there heads!! None of these things have been acknowledged!!! He has failed us so badly. The 25th amendment needs to be forced now!! At this rate, we won’t make it until November!!!

    3. REALLY❓❓❓
      Dead old people mean nothing. Dead young people now also mean nothing. So hey, why not, let’s add dead kids to the tally. We know Trump is a disgusting piece of 💩, but at what point does this weak azz country do something and stop narrating his BS like spineless idiots‼️

    4. @NBK Krypto That will happen in November.
      Sadly, what trump has successfully uncovered is how weak our laws are and how the Constitution has so many weaknesses and holes in it.
      The new President, Biden and his team will have a huge job to do to get the laws tightened up as well as the constitution.
      It all has to be tightened to make it clear that this kind of situation can never happen again.
      Meaning, that YES, a sitting president CAN be removed and removed FORCEFULLY! As well as the head of the Senate (in cases like McConnell) and people like BARR.
      WE THE PEOPLE NEED.. yes… NEED to be able to remove, QUICKLY toxic Anti-Americans easier than it is now.

      VOTE OUT ALL GOP AND CURE THIS CANCER ON THE COUNTRY!

  8. A man on the bottom now uses children as a political hammer. Polls show he’s already lost 2020. These devilish games show a man with nothing to lose willing to burn the schoolhouse down with our most precious young lives locked inside. Stop his madness quickly.

    1. 💥National Poll💥
      👍 Black – Biden
      👍 Women – Biden
      👍 Whites w/Degree – Biden
      👍 Hispanic – Biden
      —————————————
      👎Trailer Park – Trump

      IT’S A WRAP … THE SCUMBAG-N-CHIEF IS DONE‼️ 👏👏👏👏👏
      Start here: Trump got 306 electoral votes in his 2016 win. Now, consider these 2020 scenarios:

      * If Trump loses Texas (and wins everywhere else he won in 2016), he loses to Biden, 270 electoral votes to 268 electoral votes.
      * If Trump loses Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin (and wins everywhere else he won in 2016), he loses to Biden 278 to 260.
      * If Trump loses Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania (and wins everywhere else he won in 2016), he loses to Biden 279 to 259.
      * If Trump loses Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin (and wins everywhere else he won in 2016), he loses to Biden 276 to 262.
      * If Trump loses Arizona, Ohio and Wisconsin (and wins everywhere else he won in 2016), he loses to Biden 271 to 267.

    2. @NBK Krypto If Moby Trump were to win every state in which he is either currently leading, or is losing to Biden by 6 or less points (and thus Biden wins only the states where he is currently leading by 7 or more points), then Moby would still lose the Electoral College 272-266. Stick a harpoon in Moby Trump because he’s done. But his valuable blubber can still be harvested

  9. Trump: “I’m doing this because my niece was very very mean to me. It was so unfair what she did. She hurt me. She hurt me badly. I feel tremendously wounded right now. No one has ever been hurt the way I’ve been hurt. I haven’t felt this type of pain since Obama totally roasted me at that White House correspondence dinner. Oh how I hate that guy.
    I’m sooooo angry right now. 😠 And I since I can’t take my anger and frustration out on her, I’m going to take it out on all of YOU!!!!”

    1. Sadly that’s about the level of it evil little brat he is vindictive and shallow too cheers mate

    2. Well done, David! 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
      I think you just channeled trump, right there. LOL 😁 😂
      David, the new trump Whisperer. 😜

  10. You don’t need a genius to figure it out , everything what he do is about to boast his winning chances in election

  11. Ofcourse he’s politicising educational sector too! If he was as concerned as he pretends to be, we won’t have Aunt Betsy incharge!

  12. “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man” No doubt ‘ol Donnie loves to see himself referred to as the ‘most dangerous man’…but he doesn’t realize what makes him dangerous is his pathology…and a sheer lack of ability to do the job he was hired for.

  13. The stock market is about to crash again this is why he’s directing schools to open so people can go to work.

    1. PRETTY SURE PARENTS, TEACHERS, MORE. ..
      UNREALISTIC to believe that social distancing and masks will be MONITORED @ SCHOOL. T-RUMP won’t fool parents and educators…

  14. Trump doesn’t want to win re-election.. He wants to burn everything down behind him.. He is that petty..
