The biblical King Solomon, when confronted with two women claiming the same baby, declared, "cut the baby in half." One of the women said "no, give it to her," and that's the woman to whom Solomon gave the baby.

King Donald would have just cut the baby in half and given each woman whichever half they wanted.

Trump doesn't give a shit about anyone on this planet but himself. -- "Send your child to school. If they die, so what. We're talking about my reelection here. Not you're stinking kid."

This is who and what Trump is. Anyone who votes for him is either a moron, or just landed on this planet, or is totally evil.

Of course, we now know that his older sister did his homework for him, and that another student took the SAT for him.
I'm just waiting for someone to leak his transcripts to the Washington Post or New York Times... Some time between now and mid-October would be fine.

do as Trump does........IGNORE THE LAW and not open.

Then sue, and have that go to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court would then have the nightmare in their court and if they didn't
back the schools it would be on Display that the RepubliCONs in the USSC voted for Trump and not the nation's schools......

Fuck Trump & The Entire RepubliCON party and every person who voted for them...........

The pandering part is where he speaks about families and children. Opening the schools would be bad for the children and their families, but he has to frame the statement as if he were the one that cares. That way, he can argue that those who disagree with him do not care about children, families, Truth, the American Way, etc., etc.

There are always multiple manipulative strategies worked into Trump's statements. Because clear, authentic communication is beyond his capability.

he doesn't figure enough older people have died yet since they are staying home. So he's sending the kids out to bring the virus home to them.

Imagine tens of thousands of covid hotspots all over the nation...each school being the source of infection for hundreds of kids and teachers, and hundreds more parents.

I don't know who is advising him on his campaign, but this is going to flush whatever chance he may have had to get reelected right down the toilet.

The guy's got a death wish...ours.

Nazis don't give a shit if your whole family gets the Coronavirus. It is good for the economy,... just think of all the funeral home income & profits.

at a minimum, could be twice that. So, 6-12 million cases by September. Will the public's appetite for opening schools be any better by then?
