CNN: trump barrels forward with deadly negligence



Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's new push to open schools shows he's learned nothing from calamities sparked by his demands for premature state openings.

The coronavirus pandemic is again rearing out of control, rising in a majority of states as a new warning comes that more than 200,000 Americans could be dead by Election Day. The United States on Tuesday recorded 60,021 new cases of the virus, a new single day record.


But Trump barreled forward anyway, failing to offer detailed proposals or planning on the imminent question of how schools could open safely as soon as next month even as he admitted he intended to crank up pressure on governors to do what he wants.

"I would say that when we talk about the fall, that seems like a long time. It's a long time," Trump said in an interview Tuesday with Nexstar Media Group.

Forgotten infers that something was done by accident... "Ignores" is a much more accurate term where Trump is concerned since this is deliberate.

He can’t even figure out that taking care of others will ultimately benefit him.
