President Donald Trump said that he's putting pressure on governors to reopen schools this fall, part of his push to reopen the country despite a recent surge in coronavirus cases.
"We hope that most schools are going to be open," Trump said at a White House event, claiming that some places will want to stay closed "for political reasons."
"They think it's going to be good for them politically, so they keep the schools closed," the President alleged without evidence. "No way."
"We're very much going to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools, to get them open," said Trump, who has been anxious to reopen America to kickstart the economy and otherwise move on from the pandemic, despite its resurgence.
#Trump #CNN #News
the governors have that right. He is acting like a dictator if he wasn’t already one
Absolutely brother he’s attacking America’s democracy we have a problem with this dude
@NDFOOTBALL wow man……. tinfoil hat needed?
Everyone needs to just stand their ground, not go to work or school and dare the government to drag people out of their fucking homes.
@NDFOOTBALL Is this a memory -impaired trump comment? You reposted this same comment two minutes later.
@johnito mallqui Probably has stock in Alcoa.
The Governor’s won’t take any notice of him. Those that have are currently paying for it.
AZ will, he follows commands well!
Missouri is too.
Texas too
Lock Fkn Step they will! I hope he doesn’t lean on them to jump off a cliff.
Florida mayor looking really stupid right about now!!
Let’s just send his kid Barron to school and see what happens
babeloveforyour.link/0wXQQZbbpqUy
You think Barron goes to public school? Lol. Can tell you right now kids at the type of private school trumps spoiled brats go to have rapid tests for all the little darlings
Everyone needs to just stand their ground, not go to work or school and dare the government to drag people out of their fucking homes.
@cheeze nip AMEN!!!!!
And his grandchildren!!
Am I the only one that feels this is a direct attack on our children by putting political interests first?
Frank Ferman yes, it definitely is. He is a political monster.
Especially those in public schools
The kids…and their grandparents, and any other family members with other health conditions that make them high risk.
There’s too many children now anyway.
ABSOLUTELY
“Playing politics”
This from the man who turned profilactic measures like social distancing & facemasks into a political issue.
🤦🤦🤦🤦
he wants good economic numbers by next November. He doesn’t care who dies after that.
Not this dad hell no my kids will not be attending until a VACCINE and corona under control. Homeschool 100%
Yasss, dad!!!
@Sallie Gallegos Same thing my parents (as we’re adults now) said.
Good man. love me a strong smart,doting Patriot. way to go. ☺
iAbuse Artemis They were just homeschool tail people do that across the US even without a virus.
@Jackie Beckwith well if people can refuse to wear a mask then they certainly can refuse to send their kids to school until the pandemic is under control. Do people really want their kids to mingle with other kids whos families refuse to wear a mask!.
Trump knows he is going to lose the election, seems like he is just trying to take American down with him.
@Mary Jean Jones He cares NOTHING about children. Or you. Or anybody but himself.
Biden will end all of us moron
him and Steve Bannon’s goal is to destroy the Republican party. Donnie’s doing his job.
I absolutely agree. Narcissitic rage is a real thing
He hasn’t already?
“Everybody wants it. The moms want it, the dads want it……” He neglected the third part “the virus wants it”
The great Mama virus is probably invisibly sitting on his head and laughing.
@Radrook
Exactly.
Mr. “I don’t take any responsibility” is ordering schools be open. When the first kids gets hospitalized, Trump will say, it’s China and Obama’s fault.
alas, 650 kids under the age of 18 have already died in CA alone.
Probably consider it acceptable collateral damage necessary in getting America on its feet again.
@Ian4tv 😮 that’s terrible
He would say the kids were ‘neverTrumpers’.
@Ian4tv That is incorrect. According to the California Dept of health 0 deaths under 18 have occurred
Trump’s mantra: My authority is total but I don’t take responsibility at all.
@NDFOOTBALL Mexico Spain France and England all owned portions of the United States, they owned the land for much much longer than the 5 years the Confederacy existed. So if this is all about history like you say we should put Statues of Mexican generals in Texas right? A shrine to king George in new England? French military in Louisiana… Do you get my point?
@NDFOOTBALL
Except the side you support is the one doing all of it. projection and hypocrisy
@zach thomason Maybe there isn’t anything wrong with leaving monuments up normally so there is validity to that argument… but people also have the right to decide what parts of history live on in their country.
Everyone needs to just stand their ground, not go to work or school and dare the government to drag people out of their fucking homes.
@NDFOOTBALL trump wants schools open so he won’t be blamed for gullible, uneducated persons such as yourself!
Why the surprise? He separated thousand of children from their parents and put them in a concentration camp.
@Greggers Grunderson and Trump separated children from their parents, and family. Some are not able to find their children, because of Trump. The conditions were inhumane, and Trump enjoyed every minute of it!
Back at it again orange man
Goes to show some people get numb above the neck when to much BS is viewed. The racists looked the other way when a defenceless child is being treated like an animal. Scary part, their raising children just like themselfs
@arniebarb123 says, “but but but Obama, but but baaaaa!”
Everyone needs to just stand their ground, not go to work or school and dare the government to drag people out of their fucking homes.
Trump can play Russian roulette with his own kid….not mine.. my kids will go back when I say so!!!!
@Aleksandra Rubini
How could your kid(s) learn when they get infected and die??
WOW, what a father..
Got damn RIGHT !!!
RITE!! I AGREE WITH YOU SMDH
@Aleksandra Rubini So your children’s lives aren’t that important to you? You would take a chance with their lives, because you are too lazy to make the effort, and keep them safe. What are you going to say to them when they get covid?
@Aleksandra Rubini then take the risk your kids can pass the virus to your parents. Work is more important than your parents lives sure
Parents can “Home School” or School Children “Online.”
My wife’s daughter and her husband can’t afford to home school they both have to work.
@Clyde Jones You need to get back to school immediately and learn about punctuation.
@Careagn Well, the woman of the house is usually just sitting around the house and doing nothing, except getting fatter, anyway.
He can say whatever he wants I’m not sending my kid back to school, she’s going to do it online. I bet he’s not going to send Baron to school.
If you don’t have a job you can home school your kids
He’s mentally incompetent to be the president of the US Now he’s going to put the children in danger.
Well, MAGA parents don’t seem concerned. Or maybe they simply put him above their kids. Remember what some parents did to their kids in the Hitler bunker as a show of loyalty?
Well most Karen supporters, especially those who don’t wanna homeschool their kids won’t care either. They’re gonna send their kids to without masks and tell them coronavirus is a hoax😳😕
@jessica Cloud9 This country is SO Fu#ked up.
Donald Trump cares for no one. I hope these governors don’t listen to him.
I think we already know who will listen to him & who won’t based on party line… Or maybe it’s better to say ‘which party controls the state’. (Seeing as my state of MD is solid blue but we have Hogan, a Republican, as Governor, but he’s been pretty reasonable where the virus is concerned).
I will let my kids go back to school when trump let’s a crowd of 200 people cough on his face.
@Lynette Hicks He has private tutors.
@Hector G – can I fart in it too? 🙏please
THAT’S FUNNY!!!!😂😂😂
That’s the dumbest most profane leftists comment I’ve ever heard of. Maybe it’s for you to live in a cave lol
Lmfao !! Thanks! Needed this laugh.
My god, why is this man still in power, he is not well, his administration should be ashamed
@Gemin_Ice and sadly more people and possibly kids are going to get sick/die
And the people who support him
@Mary Rochefortt oh no? Maybe you’re just like him??
@Mary Rochefortt He’s played golf while the virus was spreading across the country. He failed to prepare the country and he made a political joke out of the virus. That malpractice on a massive scale.
9/11 killed 3,400
The vietnam war killed 52,000
WWI killed 110,000
trump let 136 thousand Americans die from A VIRUS.
Don’t blame him, his behaviour was shape by his sociopath father
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/07/donald-trump-abuse-father-niece-mary-book
NOW HE IS TRYING TO KILL OUR CHILDREN TOO. HE IS A MAD MAN!!! He is the worst kind of killer.
Yep. The worst kind of killer is the kind that isnt assamed of the fact.
This just sounds like trump is being politically vindictive at the cost of children! This is getting bad…
If you ever saw Stephen King’s the Dead Zone, you know that using a child as a shield is something drump would 100% do.
If it is your kids?
JHALLIN IS A COWARD WHO WOULD RISK THE LIVES OF CHILDREN CAUSE HIS GOD DONNIE T SAYS SO
@SkyGemini ABSOLUTELY
@J Hallin well, we are about to find out!
I will not send my kid to school, until a vaccine is worldwide available.
