Fmr. Education Secretary: Trump Has ‘No Ability To Order Schools To Reopen’ | The Last Word | MSNBC

  1. This is exactly how Trump ran his casinos into the ground. With pure,100%,, uncut, undiluted, concentrated, weapons grade incompetence.

    1. laundering money it´s a bit different than bankruptcy, they might fall in the middle of a Venn diagram

    2. Weapons grade incompetence is Trumps MO in everything he has tried. Add to that weapons grade ignorance and malignancy, and he’s the shambles that we see destroying your country from within. I sincerely hope that he can be ousted in November so that the US can hold its head up on the world stage once again.

  2. Pretty funny that the guy who had to pay someone to take his SATs, and flunked so many classes he’ll sue any institution that releases his transcripts….thinks he knows how schools work. 😅😂🤣

    1. Pete one how do you know he’s a billionaire? I’d rather be poor and living paycheck to paycheck than to be like that miserable S.O.B.

    2. @Pete one finally, someone with reality. Are these people for real or am I just reading robot comments. Glad there is at least two real people commenting. Have a great day.

    3. @Robert Jenkins Sometimes I feel sorry for them. Pack mentality. Animalistic in nature,filled with hate and fear. Have a good day yourself.

  3. I thought Republicans were pro life?!!! That’s right, if it’s a fetus, they want to control a woman’s body but the minute the child exits the mother, sorry but you’re on your own!!! Which hospitals will the people who need ICU beds go to? What about daycare?; Are Republicans kids going to these same schools??!!!

    1. @Nancy M Ross
      That’s exactly the excuse he used in a deposition when he was asked to read a document out loud.😂 I think it’s on YouTube, I’m not sure.

  4. Governors do not even have the authority to force local schools to reopen that is left to Mayor, County Supervisors and Individual School Boards that are made up of local parents and educators.

    1. @Robert Jenkins Trump Carries the T and bullies, he ain´t no jesus super christ, why has so many fall for that

    2. Yes. Trump might send Baron to a COVID-19 infected school for political reasons, but I don’t believe Melania would do that. I hope she wouldn’t.

  5. How do do you get a $1000 a year business? Give Trump a business that’s making 20’000’000 a year and let him weave his magic.

  6. Good. Trump’s guidance would scar children’s lungs for life. My lungs are scarred. It disabled me. IPF. Scar tissue in lungs never gets healed. Don’t let political ambitions hurt any more children. It’s heartless.

  7. Trump has a pact with the devil. He is now trying to sacrifice our children to his god. He needs to go live with his master.

    1. Never thought of it that way but honestly when you see what he’s doing I actually agree with you.

    2. I Agree Patrick. He Can take the Short Bus to the Short Road that Leads to Pence And his False Prophet White Evang., Cultist Community. He Is their Satanic Demonic Psychotic Anti American / Christ Chosen One, Not Americans. Whatever Road this Sick Lunatic And his Grifter, Freeloadinv Spawns Take, They Need to Get the F*** Out Of this Country And Load Up Every Cockroach that have Attached to them. VOTE

  8. People need to STOP being afraid of the big orange bully! He is not in charge of EVERYTHING because he is president. Enough with his dictatorship.🙄

  9. Trump wanted the US economy opened too early and look at the spikes of Covid in Arizona right now.

  10. Trump couldn’t even go to class and take his SAT’s, but he’s ordering our kids to go back to school. He keeps sinking lower and lower.

  11. Donald ‘bunker baby” Trump is what happens if you never learn to do your homework. Stay in school kids
    !!!!
