Trump not only DOESN'T CARE about teachers. He probably actually hates the profession.

[highplainsdem]

For Trump, teachers would represent not only years of being told to do things he didn't want to do, but year after year of confrontations with his failure to learn, whether or not it was due to an actual learning disability.

Add to that teachers and teacher unions opposing him politically. But I'd bet the chldhood attitude is more important.

So there's not only a lack of concern behind his wanting schools to reopen despite the risk to teachers.

It's almost certain there's actual malice toward the profession.

1. Experience is a dear teacher. Fools learn from no other. Trump, not even then. nt

2. Trump does not care about anyone.

9. He cares about Ivanka.

But that's only because he thinks he still has a chance of screwing her.

11. That is seriously creepy.

3. Donald Trump's pivotal childhood experiences in 'The Art of the Deal' include punching his second

grade teacher in the face.

"In the second grade I actually gave a teacher a black eye — I punched my music teacher because I didn't think he knew anything about music and I almost got expelled," Trump says. "I'm not proud of that, but it's clear evidence that even early on I had a tendency to stand up and make my opinions known in a very forceful way. The difference now is that I use my brain instead of my fists."

* "Now I use my brain instead of fists". I can't stop laughing!

12. This is exactly the quote I was thinking of.

To think that he could assess his music teacher's knowledge. What an asshole.

4. Addition to/ alongside malice is probably also disdain...

He thinks almost everyone who workers harder than him, for less money, is a sucker/dupe/loser, and I'm sure teachers are included in that.

5. Women, educated and professional (Yes, I know wonderful male teachers, that isn't how Trump thinks)

and authoritative over bullying lazy little boys.

[CaptYossarian]

6. He's Scott Walker on steroids (and hamberders).

[sheshe2]

7. He hates children too.

He has several, never been a father figure. The only one he has any attachment to seems to be Ivanka and he has time and again said that he wanted to **** her.

He hates kids and would sell his own out in a NY minute to save his worthless ass.

No surprise that he wants to send them back, along with the teachers to die for his reelection.

8. As my neighbor was saying.

Fat Donnie has a Hitler Complex. Obvious he really hated Strong Women Teachers. And yet to this day,he fears Strong Women,especially those in Powerful Positions. Black or White or Asian.

[LakeVermilion]

10. Trump wants the showdown with America's teachers' unions.

He thinks that parents will support him over their teachers.

[Initech]

13. I'd expect nothing less from a guy who has been accused of cheating on his SATs.

[Laelth]

14. Trump hates everyone beyond himself.

I suspect, however, that he has a special loathing for teachers, and I don’t believe for a second that he has any concern for the health and well-being of teachers.
