DES MOINES, Iowa - Under siege over his handling of the novel coronavirus pandemic, President Donald Trump on Wednesday cited what he said was his son’s mild bout of the virus as a reason why American schools should reopen as soon as possible.
Melania Trump said in a statement earlier in the day that the virus that struck both her and her husband had also infected their 14-year-old son. Trump has sought to convince states to reopen schools and return to normal, but teachers’ unions have fought the move, arguing that teachers could be infected by their students. Funding for protective measures at schools has been caught up in a partisan fight in Washington.Trump’s Iowa stop is part of a barnstorming tour across states critical to deciding who will win the Nov. 3 election. He is trailing Biden in national and some battleground state opinion polls.
“We’re almost finished in Afghanistan coming in,” he said, adding that he wanted the troops reduced “down to a small number coming home by the end of the year - hopefully the end of the year, shortly thereafter.” On Thursday, Trump and Biden, who had been due to hold a second presidential debate, will instead take part in dueling televised town halls. NBC News said Trump’s event in Miami would take place outdoors to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.That Trump, who fell ill with the virus earlier this month, is traveling to Iowa so close to Election Day suggests his campaign is concerned about voter support there for his re-election.
Trump just can’t wait to kill kids. I hope he gets Covid again at one of his bund rally spreader events
I think 1 is a rather limited test group!
.... and what about Fredo's brother who broke France's deads record in NY State only ?
Can someone tell me why people vote for this wimp?
Some kids will die but I think more teachers will pay the ultimate price.
He’s right. The 99.99% prove it. That’s called Science.
How many children's live have been ruined by this humpty-dumpty? How many of those dead grandparents were raising their grandchildren? How many were the trusted babysitters? How many college funds have been spent on paying the mortgage?
Why the stupid picture?
He is a sick motherfu*ker to think like that
He also said, less than 10 seconds later, that children under 18 have 99.9% survivability!
When he sends his son, that he barely realizes exists, to public school like the rest of the US, maybe we’ll listen. As long as he’s holed up in the WH or his private school and has access to a helicopter ride and all the good meds NO. TrumpIsACompleteFailure RepublicansSuck
