President Trump says he'll put pressure on governors to reopen schools this fall. At a White House roundtable, speakers minimized the risk of the spread of COVID-19 among children but acknowledged it's important to protect the vulnerable.

President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, left, and first lady Melania Trump, attend a "National Dialogue on Safely Reopening America's Schools," event in the East Room of the White House, Tuesday, July 7, 2020, in Washington.

“We want to reopen the schools. Everybody wants it. The moms want it, the dads want it, the kids want it. It’s time to do it,” Trump said at a White House event. “We’re very much gong to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools.” At a White House roundtable hosted by Trump, speaker after speaker addressed the need to get students back in the classroom, both for academic and mental health reasons. They minimized the risk of the spread of COVID-19 among children but acknowledged that it was important to protect the vulnerable.

My daughter's not going back.

Oh okay we can all just go die then right? That's basically what he's trying to say with this action

They should reopen

trump puts pressure on schools to reopen thus enhancing his reelection. Kevin McCarthy suggests legislation taking away school district liability. Restated in this US where covid19 is on fire trump opens schools to 'get the economy going' and Americas children foot the bill 📬🇺🇸

It shows how entirely out of touch DT is with public sentiment. Who does he think is leading this “political” movement to keep schools closed when literally everyone — districts, administarators, teachers, kids and parents — want to go back to school if it’s safe to do so.

Yes just like he put pressure on governors to reopen the state. Look where that got us esp TX

Parents need to let leaders know that you won’t send your kids to schools where safety regulations have been watered down. schoolsreopening NotMyKids

getting back to normal, taking care of our children

Is the White House opened at the same time to the public

Y'all ready? It's about money and power. Thanks for coming to my tedtalk

So he wants these schools to reopen, So what happens when these kids come home with the virus & infect there parents?siblings?Uncle?Aunt?Grandma? Grandfather?What happens then ,They get sent to a hospital for testin positive & put into an induced como & you never see then again😒

the capitalist production is determined by the control of social reproduction. There’s no one to work 40+ hours a week unless the bodies of those who do the actual working and their mothers bodies are governed and controlled by those who have never had to work

VeteransAgainstTrump TheResistance gaslitnation MSNBC CNNPolitics I want my child to go back to school, but we know that there’s no truly safe plan for our schools as long as Trump is in the WH.

And US was such a great country in my dreams in September 2017 😊 I had a brand new white Mercedes and my Boyfriend came to live a life with me without any need for a Visa. . Booming economy and humane nation. Well at least in my dreams I loved USA and enjoyed USA. 😍

Ignoring state COVID19 explosions, Trump says schools must reopen, or he will defund them. Too many of our 98,000 schools can't keep out the rain, much less coronavirus. Untested school kids with sniffles make ideal carriers. All a Trump plot to bring back school prayer.

Please keep schools closed longer.

put the pressure on yourself to be a better leader, wtf.

Hey, looks like the kids in Arizona will be headed back to school this fall. Because when Trump says Jump, Governor Ducey says how high. When Trump says open up the economy Ducey says how soon. Ducey can't show his loyalty to his master Trump fast enough. dougducey

Ah the good old GOP. Constantly whinging about how they want to abolish big government whilst instantaneously trying to stifle and crush local govt and autonomous administration. The GOP made the cake, own the cake and will make damn sure only they will EAT the cake.

Same shit, different day.

Fascistinchief

The only thing he puts pressure on is his toilet seat handle, because the shit that comes out of his mouth needs to be flushed.

And in an uncharacteristic move Trump threatens the states if he doesn’t get his way.

Parents care more about their children’s health & well-being & will put that first before sending their children to school where it might be unsafe. Period.

If my school, who applied and received a virtual teaching license, opens this fall, I absolutely refuse to go the same way as last year, the only reason to go should be for “supplies-based” classes like any of the fine art curriculums. Math, literature, history, and science can-

We’re all gonna die

Just like the TRAITOR pressured Florida, Texas and others to reopen their economies. We see how well that’s working out, aren’t we. You’re a TRAITOR and a completely unprepared fool donnie boy.

He's literally trying to kill children.

realDonaldTrump is the dumbest person on the planet. Why bother with this dude?

Closes at 10000 cases. Opens at over 2 million. 👀 👄

It is crystakclear that he's only pushing to reopen schools so he can claim that we've moved past the pandemic still killing thousands every week in time for election day. Don't endanger your children for his reelection campaign.

American schools are a waste of time. Change the Curriculum. Help teach kids true history and the things that are beneficial to the lives. Stop forcing kids to sit in gov buildings for 8 hours a day conditioning them for a 40 hr work week. savethechildren

Can all US medical industry come together and give sense to your President? Geez.

anyone know why the president is so passionate about making sure that lots of teachers and students get sick and die?

No. Texas is a mess and people are dying every day. Risk your own kids for political points. We like ours. We want them to live to adulthood.

Why? What have we done in general to contain the virus up till now? Nothing!

Is his son going to be one of the students attending these public schools? I think not. Parents are ready for their children to go back to school. Are the parents going to sign a disclaimer. TrumpIsAnIdiot

The last time this guy put pressure on states we lost people. People died because of his ignorance and posturing. People died. He is killing Americans and now he wants you to trust him and his cronies with your kids lives.

At the expenses of our children 🤦‍♀️

There are also many people who work at a school besides teachers who would be a risk and also present a risk to the children.

Trump clearly showing you he does not value children of any color from any country.

Oh great now he's trying to kill our kids. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020

He can't it's not even up to the states it's up to the school board in the states

The yellow school bus will now become this century's version of the 20th century German cattle car.

If we can't rely on adults to adhere to common sense safety practices, what do you think will happen when children are gathered? This is pure SADISM.

Guess hes gotta kill as many as possible before he loses in November

He’s the one who’s turned this pandemic political. All it would take from him would be to say “we need to wear masks, this is a serious global problem” and ALL of his followers would listen. They don’t listen because he tells them not to.

what is it gonna take for America to not be selfish. Because people dying obviously aint it.

Kids need to go back to school. In needs to be done in a safe & methodical way. It’s going to require funds to adapt to this pandemic. Instead of gov’t officials looting the taxpayers monies, they could be providing the funds that are so badly needed to send kids back to schoool

Sounds like a wannabee mob boss lol

I understan herd immunity... but what the f**k?

Newsom's businesses are open, POTUS

Good for him. No reason to keep schools closed

At this point he isn’t trying to get re-elected

I love how he thinks that he's the only one who wants to open schools. Try every single parent in America.

He wants us dumb and complacent. Probably dead, also

The dotard's ignorance and stupidity surprises me now and then. Israel thought they were over the COVID hump and now their cases are on the rise. Why? In part due to sending kids back to school.

Let local gov deal with the pandemic but pressure local gov to open schools?🧐

You will let people out of prison in fear of a Covid-19 outbreak in prison. Now you want to send our children to school where there is a higher chance of our children to contract the Covid-19 virus. If the President wants to spend all his personal money on every child that gets🤧

Republicans sure love states rights when they do what they want. If not then bring out the hammer. And this is different from Democrats how? It’s nice to see Trump, DeVos, and parents expressing empathy and concern for teachers and staff forced to work in scary conditions Oh wait

realDonaldTrump how about a little pressure on Russia for the paying of bounties on the lives of US Military? Your current stance points to you and your administration is complicit with Russia along with being more than ok with these deaths.

Is it Trump or DeVos putting the pressure? Trump is DeVos' puppet! He repeats everything he ears from his 'advisors' without thinking. 'DeVos expects schools to be 'fully operational' come the fall, regardless of the coronavirus pandemic.'

I'm sure he's willing to threaten to starve the children in order to infect them with COVID-19. When you've caged children and separated them from their parents, there is no bottom.

Ok let's make a deal. How about we reopen the schools and you close your mouth until you move out of the White House in January?

He speaks as if schools reopen months from now. My kids are due back in one month. A month from when were are seeing record breaking numbers of infections and deaths. I am not sacrificing my family for his agenda.

Sure he is. He's not even doing a good job running our country and he wants the schools to reopen in the fall yeah okay. Whatever you say Trump. Seriously get this man out of office ASAP.

Barron and administrators kids and grandkids enroll,in WPB Public school. BE A HERO WITH NO PPE SAFTY PLAN $$$

why does he get to make the decision? he’s not going to be affected if someone at school has it. does he forget that some of us live with elderly people that wouldn’t be able to handle covid ?

catch me not going to school because my health is more important 🙈 i’m not putting my family at risk.

Yay.

how small of a man must you be when you chest beat about children's safety, at the same time you belittle medical advice? hey so small no one at 1600 can even see him, because obviously they'd stop him right?

Dude is really trying his best to be the worst human alive

Oh boy what a guy .... threats, sues, lies, cheats

oh look, trump blackmailing governors again

Donald Jackass Trump always goes after the disenfranchised. He doesn’t raise his own kids so this obviously this won’t apply to his family. Stop worrying about imaginary terrorists abroad, all of our enemies work for the US government.

I want to do the exact opposite of ANYTHING he proposes, especially when it comes to our children. 3 million cases and counting 😳

Kids don’t have an special shell to protect them from not getting the virus, most of the kids are asymptomatic, most likely they all will get the virus and bring it home, in otherwords trumpy wants all of us to get the virus🤦🏽‍♂️ 99.9% of us population 😞

When has he ever done anything that didn’t benefit him personally? He’s a narcissistic bully. Period.

Still waiting for the miracle disappearing act we were promised February 28th...

Just stay uninvolved in this entire debacle... if you have nothing productive to say, if you have no constructive assistance to offer, just climb back into your bunker or go golf. No one cares what you think any more.

Thats one way to excellerate the second wave of this virus! Honestly if I didn't know better I'd think he's trying to downsize our population. 🤔 TrumpVirus COVID19 SafetyFirst

Good

He will gladly sacrifice the lives of children in order to make it look like he is not an incompetent buffoon.

Not gonna happen Trump. Parents will not send kids to school this fall. Only after vaccine. Plan on it and stop being so damn optimistic

He openly neglects, abuses, and kills kids every day; why wouldn't this be any different? TrumpIsUnwell 25thAmendmentNow TrumpVirusCatastrophe

What about people that have Tourettes it’s stressful for them it sets off their tics and then wtf you gonna do the the whole time no one can learn what about the kids that need hands on learning someone guiding them threw is every section gonna be wiped down before the next class

What about special ed that’s are different types of kids some like to leave and run away from the classroom they put their hands in their mouth it’s not about just our safety theirs tooo unless you wanna provide me with a Mac book pro to do school work on

Why sooo we all can die what’s the safety measures will I have clear boards up I don’t even want the teacher to touch my papers soo please tell me because it’s almost august?

What happened to states right I thought this jerk was a republican.

Good.

Isn't it time that Trump reporting is about what's wrong, this time, with what he is saying... IE; President Trump INAPPROPRIATELY putting pressure

How about realDonaldTrump put pressure on Putin for bounties on our troops? TrumpIsATraitor TrumpIsMentallyIll

This is just suicide! It is not political it's not a hoax but it is however a pandemic!Murderous GOP sending kids back to school! Time to home school your children folks or risk the death of your child!

Idc no one is forcing me to send my children back! Trump NEEDS to realize that COVID-19 is a serious matter and not just something he, nor any Governor, can sweep under a rug! realDonaldTrump why impose your will on others so carelessly?! Do lives not matter at all anymore?!

How about we put pressure on Putin?

this man tryna kill us

Trump2020

STUPID MF

Trump esta loco, loco 🙊🙊🙊

The situation is getting worse, and Trump is just shutting his eyes and ears to reality. You can't pretend away the pandemic. This deadly, politically motivated lunacy has made us the laughingstock of the developed world.

good on him

That nigga gotta chill I ain’t tryna go back to teach them damn kids

As a parent, I will not allow my child to go to school. IQ45 can try to kill my family, not gonna happen.

Wtf there are ppl literally dying left and right .... he better be frontline and go visit some schools if he reopens them

My school will reopen this fall and no one would panic about this more than my mom and dad, so NO, you do not know what parents and students want.

he can try but he has already greatly reduced his power with putting devos in a position of power. oh yeah and then he has to worry about a second wave if we get past the first all before election day. Go ahead make yourself in popular..

That was obvious once he decided to kick off international students if their schools run entirely online in the fall. He knows international students make a big portion in U.S. schools and these schools need them. Can't wait for Americans to vote him out🤮

how about we tell him to stfu because no way am i going back yet

I guess people just scared. No assurances no vaccine just go and get sick and die ! Not against opening up economy however schools are difficult to control ! Maybe some kids will spread on purpose and not report! I don’t think this is right

Can someone read the constitution to POTUS realDonaldTrump and tell him statesrights? '... the 10th Amendment to the Constitution which is the basis for making education a function of the states.' MeetThePress FaceTheNation CPAC_TV thehill

So ready for this nightmare of a presidency to be over...can't wait to have a president who has at least enough common sense not to keep trying to force Americans to step in front of moving trains because there is a chance they won't be hit.

Online classes for all schools is the way to go let's not do a stupid thing

Can't wait to vote against this sad excuse for a president.

He doesn’t know what these kids are going home to some kids are go home to people that have medical conditions and don’t need to catch covid

Premeditated mass murder. The man is a monster.

Premeditated mass murder.

my grandma lives with us, and my dad has asthma. if i bring the virus home to them, my grandmas dead, and possibly my dad, or he’ll at least deal with effects of it for the rest of his life. but yeah, open the schools! :/

He’s already drag our nation in the mud, he wants to do more? Remember we are 1 now 🙄

Is Trump really that paranoid that he thinks Dems don’t want to open schools for political reasons or is he himself wanting to open schools for political reasons ie to get re-elected by getting the country back to normal? I can’t decide. Thoughts?

How about potus stop pressuring states to do anything, he shows no leadership during this crisis & now wants to be a dictator, nope. Also, about health insurance; ALL AMERICANS deserve the SAME HEALTH INS that the POTUS & SenateGOP have; FOR FREE.

Hah if i get covid i will drive down to dc and cough on the president myself tehe

1st Trump suggested our seniors sacrifice themselves for the economy, and now he's tryna send our kids⁉️ GovMikeDeWine stop pandering to these sociopaths at our expense! STAND UP FOR OH families & businesses! You were hired to work for us, not these glorified looters at the WH

He should pressure the FDA to get a vaccine out quicker

yea.. as someone w asthma this doesn’t sound fun :) all abt that yolo life but this, thanks but no thanks

What if everyone decides to just homeschool

Oh, so he wants to kill kids now. Great.

Stop calling this murderous MF president!!!!

One graph is all that is needed here...

I hope y'all know most states already have a plan to reopen school in the fall?both red and blue states

Children are not immune to Covid. They can bring it back to theory homes. This will devastate communities.

JonesVelwil9 TrumpIsKillingUs TrumpVirus

If you realized you are of generation X, Y, Z, you should know .XYZ domain names, leave the past to elders gracefully, the best domain extension for virtual reality!

🤬

Executive Order 352 all kids must now be sacrificed for them economy

Does he just want us to get sick

Tell him he's delusional please.

put pressure on? Maybe he should put pressure on the virus to let it leave early

Yet when tasked with identifying a plan for doing so, he’s got nothing.

Of course the only time Trump “cares” about educating kids is when it’ll get them and their parents sick/killed

Will Trump & DeVos guarantee students, educators & school staff, get the same access to testing & tracing, as Trump & his cabinet?

It should also be noted that Trump can't force a fly to go through a window pane as far as the States are concerned. Only the localities can determine if they are ready for allowing students back into the classrooms. Hot air deflecting from his poor inaction earlier this year.

He wants us to go back to school for us not to expose him on tiktok or on twitter💀💀 its my last year of High School idgaf ab it

I’m guessing the “pressure” he’s going to be placing on states involves threats and federal funding.

I'm keeping my kids home. Fuck Trump and his 'pressure.'

They should give students who don’t feel comfortable going to school the option of doing it online because I sure as hell won’t step foot in any school until COVID is a thing of the past!

Ay chill out

--- USE COUPON 'PREORDER15' to get this subscription box for the low

Good, they need to reopen and we need to learn to live with this virus. It isn't going away. Thanks China

He really wants to kill as many Americans as he can

openallschoolsinthefall

nnnoooo

Maybe if he placed this much energy into listening to experts, we wouldn’t even have to worry about REOPENING schools. These kids could’ve even had a summer. Such a shame!

Hawaii, after seeing Singapore: 👁👄👁

Jessues save us please before it’s to late

Is he insane?

I’ll be student teaching in the fall and the last thing I want is to do that online, but this is not the way to do it. Schools have been brainstorming the many ways of opening for months now, and Trump and his education secretary are not the experts on this topic at all.

So the president wants to kill all the kids in the country.

MY GIRL GovWhitmer SMART LOYAL KIND DID I MENTION SMART 2 SHE AINT LIKE THAT BUNKA BITCH

And what is he going to do to make sure it’s safe?

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 realDonaldTrump thank you!! Nail GovMikeDeWine ‘s ass to the floor, he’s out. Of. Control.

Why does anyone agree with anything trumps farts out of his mouth?

Trump might kill more people than Hitler ever could imagine to do.

Aside from the insanity of doing this when the pandemic is raging and “the fall” is really mid-August, the audacity to suggest it with no federal support, no financial aid, not even consistent messaging on covid, is just a breathtaking failure. Trump doesn’t care.

roflmao i don't see this ending well for anyone but big pharma pushing all those drugs in hospitals. GG everyone

'Pressure' as in bully, correct?

America sucks

🤦🏼‍♀️ We are already the worst off country with this virus and he wants to make it worse? Are we SURE he isn’t trying to destroy America for Russia or something?

Kiss my ass, DT

Maybe only for those who have a visa. Put the projected on, so they can see the professor in the screen and have them social distance within each other.

This worthless heartless sociopaths couldn't give a bigger shit about children, they're ok with them getting sick and dying as long as it keeps them in power.

Has he considered fucking off instead?

This be the Trump’s if your kids catch coronavirus in school...

So we close our schools immediately when COVID19 hits, immediately protecting our children and educators, and now Trump wants to re-open schools--and expose them to illness and death? 25thAmendmentNow He's INSANE.

What a moron 🤦‍♂️

When discussing schools its very unwitting to treat every child as if disabled, and to mask children and the voice is a very dismantling thing. Mask have disclaimers not for use with COVID. Promoting the lie of false protections to Children is also subversion and has its origins.

He just wants students to get sick and possibly die

i hate this country.

He can pressure all he wants . States have states rights . Governors don’t have to cave to President’s temper tantrums. I am a teacher and happy that New York’s Governor won’t cave to tantrum . For other states, stay safe everyone .

No plan, just”open schools”. What a lame ass.

Any1 want2bet little Trumpy Junior willBhome schooled,along with all those Christian GOP congressman?They have no dog in this fight. Take a group,out of school,save them 4the 3RD WAVE, 160,000 deaths in 2.5 months,1.5 million by the end of year. GOP TrumpIsUnwell votevets

Does this man thrive on throwing this country into further chaos? FFS!!

Barron first to a public school.

Astronauts get paid, right? Is trump proposing we pay these little psychopath money to go School

And then blame them for the increase of infections and deaths. TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

Dumbass is almost 4 yrs. into his job and still doesn't know how the presidency functions ffs

All fur coat and no underwear! Say and do something logical Mr. Trump!

no❤️ i can’t go back

Lol try all you want but me and millions of other students won’t risk our lives for an already shitty education

would trump put barron in public elementary or middle school? young kids can’t isolate,keep their hands & objects out of their mouths,& not touch each other. they get hurt & cry, how does staff care for them? so we’re sacrificing kids for the economy & trump’s reelection now?

Will Trump University Reopen?

acknowledging the vulnerable with words is a lot different than with actions smh

That’s it for Tennessee folks

Nobody: Our President:

So you mean: Put all kids in harm's way... Typical reasoning of a fascist 'Force'...

Protect the unborn ( no real position), and statues, What about us? The living and trying to make it thru You protected this child before birth, why did you stop?

What's he going to do is governor's don't listen to him? Threaten to get re-elected?

i hope everyone knows that the world has progressed pass the need for school

They should put the pressure on him. Not to reopen schools while cases are still rising. Online schooling is not hurting nobody

The idea that keeping schools closed is based on politics is ridiculous. The idea is for teachers, students and school workers not to get sick or die. That is what actually matters here, not the politics of the situation.

Ok Trump

No way am I sending my children into school. I'll be homeschooling them. I sometimes think it's just people that use school as daycare making the biggest stink.

This is the worst decision he could make. And yes, from a man who makes 'the worst decision he could make' daily.

He's not satisfied with dead adults....he's a monster.

Govenors don't go for this he already screwed you bigtime for opening early and running

How can he do that when he'll lose the presidential election in november. He doesn't have enough time to do anything during the fall.

The Russian spy that he is just wants people to die

either way it sucks. I either A: Go to school online (which will suck) or B: go to school irl again and I have to wear a fucking mask for 7 hours while I struggle to breathe

This is absolutely absurd!! I sure hope that the Governors will simply ignore sick Trump and do what they think is best for their schools. Even people around Trump are seeing that Trump has lost it. Trump cannot be taken serious. Trump is too far gone.......

There isn’t a word strong enough to describe how much I dislike that man.

It's time parents put pressure on the president to not open the schools in this pandemic it's not safe for prisoners, or nursing homes but he thinks kids will be safe! covid19 SchoolReopening

Trump REALLY wants to lose on November 3rd. When it comes to kids or Trump, parents will pick kids. realDonaldTrump AmericaOrTrump

What ever happened to the whole Republicans don’t believe in big government ideology? Why is the government forcing parents to let their children die from covid?

Trump obviously has no qualms with killing children.

Good luck getting Andrew Cuomo to carry out your re-election homicides, realDonaldTrump

You all are protesting in the thousands and still getting mad at this? I dont america

Last ditch desperation effort. Dudes getting more pathetic by the day

No no you will not because no one except a bunch of dumbasses is going to send their kids to school in this! And those that do ought to be arrested for neglect

Somebody. Anybody. Explain to me how a highly 'uneducated' man; knowing nothing about academics, has the intestinal fortitude to utter one word about the subject? As his niece says in her book, Trump was one of the worst students... EVER! He needs to STFU!

Yes, increase the chance of kids dying in schools, as if it wasnt high enough

Should this not be up to the individual school districts that would be able to see the rates of how many cases there are in their specific counties?

When are White House tours resuming?

TrumpVirus MURDERER

It goes to show you how heartless and evil he can be.

Baron goes to?

I didn't stay locked up in my house with my brother for 1/3 of a year just to get covid anyway. Fuck you.

Pressure to re-open businesses proved to be a mistake. So let's pressure school reopening cause...well coming from Trump it's quite obvious.

realDonaldTrump Children in my family will be going to virtual school, and not a damn thing you are a governor can do about it. Ciao.

Of course, seeing that a African man, presently’s at the head of WHO, let’s withdraw America’s membership, why not? Makes all the positive sense in the World, right.😂😂😂🙄. Someone pls show him, Something the Lord Made’, featuring MosDef.

FGNGZAJSJFKFJSHEHRH

Don’t listen to a president who takes no responsibility. Just don’t do it.

What about if instead of “putting pressure on” governors to force a return to school, the administration put together solutions thAt made educators and families WANT to go back? LeadershipMatters

You abandoned the governors and left them scrambling to protect us from the TrumpVirus !! Screw you, you moron....the governors will make their OWN decision. MOST of them have our children's safety at heart, YOU sure as hell DON'T!!

...I love how a lot of libertarians rant about 'States Rights'....And then...THIS happens.

Go away Ronald McDonald wannabe!

He has no power to do that!!!

ExchangeGoddess

Dear , when this nation witnesses his youngest son & all his grandkids, including the Edu. woman’s young family members return to school in the fall & specifically after their 1st, 2weeks of doing so, w/out getting sick, then the rest of us, may oblige.🙄.

When people’s kids start dropping dead, it will become apparent to Chump that he fucked up again.

As a citizen and taxpayer of good standing in Colorado, I demand GovofCO take immediate action to ensure our schools DO NOT open until our children, teachers, and staff are 100% safe

I love how tRumpers are like, 'we don't want masks! They take away our freedom! My body my choice!' And when Trump says 'kids needs to go back to school and we will make sure states open schools' the tRumpers are like ' hell ya! Make it mandatory to open schools!' Smh🤦🏻‍♂️

More of that small government the GOP claims to love. The federal government is going to blackmail the states into sending children to potentially dangerous schools. Great stuff BetsyDeVosED

fuck no

Thank you Mr President for being the voice of reason. Blue states have been overtaken by irrational libs. We’re tired of all this nonsense! We shouldn’t be afraid of a virus that we have a 99.9% if beating and youth are virtually unscathed!

he wants us to die and honestly the way things are going...

Poop

I am a mom of two boys and they need to be in school.

Thank god!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children return to school.

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

So delusional

Just wondering, of those speaking up against it-will you allow your children or grandchildren to go back when school when it opens?

He should send Barrón to public school.

I saw some TikTok videos where parents are prepared to send their kids back to school in hazmat suits, if need be, but they are determined their kids are going back! 😅

What a stupid president

What part of Trump-is-not-a -totalitarian-and-the-governors- make-the-state-choices-on-education- does he not understand?

AndyBeshearKY don't do it. Don't you fucking do it. If you do, it makes you just as bad as Bevin.

The Nazis never went away. They just camouflaged themselves as Republicans in America: Trump doesn't want people to know the truth. Trump is not using gas chambers. Trump is using covid-19

Time to see which governors will cave to 45 or will they stand up for people and do what science recommends. I have no doubt at this point how SC will go 😞

NO! School closings we’re the best part of quarantine

Sacrificing children's lives for the economy.

My daughter in law is a teacher.She is extremely diabetic and heart has issues.What will happen to her? She cannot be around anyone at this during this time.And Trump is going to force her to return to school!

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

I wonder what all these 'pro-lifers' have to say about this.

Online school was fine why risk it

He also accuses people of wearing masks for political reasons. That's stupid enough, but now he thinks school closures are a way of getting at him. Schools can't be about kids; they must be about Trump, he thinks. Presumptuous narcissist jackass.

A clown, he obviously doesn’t care ab students, teachers etc.

This is why impeachment should nullify the rest of a presidents term. No one should have to follow the orders of a treasonous mass-murderer.

Not listening to the stable genius

this man wants to kill us all

Nope. Disagree on this one.

jwhoopes2 Make sure Mother and Barron are in overcrowded public schools then.

Slo then he wouldn't have a problem putting Barron into one of the DC public schools or a Florida public school coz he'll be safe, yeah?

Well, Stupid Is As Stupid Does, and Trump does a lot of stupid! In Fact that's all he knows! Unfortunately.

There’s no ‘agenda’ to keep school online or hybrid for political reasons. No one at a school level is discussing politics; they’re discussing safety & logistics. TRUMP is the one who’s recklessIy pushing in-person classes 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙣𝙤 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣 for purely political reasons.

Yup you guessed it right , Florida is going back to school in August 💀

Trump does know that he has no say in education, right? That is a right reserved for states, not the federal government. You cannot pressure governors to opening schools because that’s what you want. That’s not how states’ rights work.

If parents don’t feel safe sending their kids to School then the won’t go. Let him send Barron to school.

I thought republicans were all about states rights

You want to protect the vulnerable by getting more of them infected? We are fucked.

This Dotard is only marginally better than Jim Jones ...no, actually worse.

How Will he send the National Guard again!?!?

But why though? What is gained by forcing schools to open?

Do you think he's doing this so we all stay distracted from Putin paying out bounties for the heads of US Soldiers?

130 thousand americans dead. Time to move on to killing their children i guess. USA USA USA

You mean speakers like the CDC who you have been praising for months saying schools must reopen.

ruthellaowens Pressuring schools doesn’t mean opening them safely. He’s worried about the economy, and only cares about himself. TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

He needs to be the first one in the door... Because you know Mary Trumps book ... His sister did his homework and someone took the SAT for him! So yes, be the first one back to school vonald!

Over 130K American dead! Who care what he put pressure on?

States' Rights !

Trump can do whatever he wants, it’s up to the parents. Home schooling has never been so easy and freeing!

No

Well ! It will all depends on how well the virus will be controlled by the time the schools needs to be opened !!! Obviously we don’t want to risk our kids...

trump news flash YOU can’t force the States to open their schools hopefully the governors with backbone will do what they think is best

What about the single parents? How can they stay home and teach their kids? How will they get paid? On the other hand- sending your child to school is frightening with the unknown and the teachers essentially being forced to go back, is reckless. What is the best option here?

...Excuse me, but aren't the freaking children the ones being vulnerable to this mad decision?

Like any sane parent would trust a thing Trump says in regards to their children. He’s failed miserably at handling COVID-19 in the US.

Breaking: Donald Trump wants your kids to die so he can rescue his reputation

I’m the only person in my family who doesn’t have or has had COVID so opening schools in a few weeks is so reckless but I’m not shocked from this idiot!!!!!

if trump actually was proactive during feb/march we wouldnt have this problem

What the hell man

Dear students teachers and family you are expendable

He’s a thug. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020

Why was Melania there? Would she allow Baron to go to a Florida beach?

Trump can go first.

“With the above principles in mind, the AAP strongly advocates that all policy considerations for the coming school year should start with a goal of having students physically present in school.”

I guess I'll be homeschooling then 🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s much difficult to open schools

Schools can just supply the students with Chromebooks and do everything online but I'm very aware that some Americans don't have access to fast enough internet or have any at all

Trump isn’t going to force me to do shit with my kids. Fuck him. trumpvirus

Is everyone ready to die?

God, Will We As A Nation EVER Recover From The Worst President EVER? EVERY Decision He Has Made Is Ignorant. Void of Facts Because He Will Not Study! Decisions Which Aid Putin Enough Voters See Thru his Everyday Fake Pretend, Everything For His Benefit, Nov Complete 🌊.

Fuck him! He’s literally going to kill kids now!

Now the children at risk?

Good thing he’ll be gone soon after that!

They just need to shut up already I'm so tired

I'd like to see this mf try

This is the exact reason not to listen to him. Betsy DuVos wants too keep kids undereducated and out of school, and this putz wants to put your kids in a situation that could kill their teachers, parents, and grandparents...

I think someone needs to put pressure on Trump to go back to school.

Good

Someone needs to tell the orange turd that keeping kids safe is not political

chill_canada He literally can't. He's just too stupid to know it.

So NOW meals and mental health services for kids are important. These people have no shame. deleteTraitorTrump

Get trump off this stage. He’s a danger to our children now. Unfit to make a plan to protect his citizens.

I understand he will tweet OPEN THE SCHOOLS!!! A few times, but besides that, I would like to know how they are going to pressure states to pressure localities to open schools. Are they going to withhold money? Provide PPE or more funding to schools that open?

Then Allow international students to reside in USA while attending online & hybrid college/university programs this Fall. Do not let ICE suspend their already approved visas. International students contribute 45 billion dollars a year to our economy. realDonaldTrump IvankaTrump

Do Republicans even pretend to be for states’ rights anymore?

Fauci says coronavirus may be mutating to become more infectious:

World Health Organisation, acknowledges that the coronavirus is airborne!!!

Covidiots

Russian roulette with the children's lives, maybe you will get sick maybe not he doesn't care. To sell those books and school supplies you have to break a few eggs to make some money.

Where is the plan to open safely? That’s the problem with this WH, announcements with no plan. PPE for teachers? Crickets Funds for cleaning crews? Crickets Staggered classes? Crickets.

Trust Trump's judgment when it comes to our nation's children? You've got to be kidding!

If everyone around realDonaldTrump needs to get tested all the time, then why shouldn’t students and educators be tested regularly to keep them and their families safe? Is realDonaldTrump going to take responsibility when the first child who catches it in school dies?

Where’s the money to make schools safe for kids and educators to return to realDonaldTrump BetsyDeVosED? Where’s money to update ventilations? Where’s money for plexiglass barriers and protective equipment? Where’s money and resources to test students and staff regularly?

If children don't represent the most vulnerable then who are?

can someone play that clip again where he said, these things are up to the governors and not the fed? You delegated your responsibility, now you're only accountable. See you in November, Mr. 130k dead and counting.

so like bullying the Governors to open their states too early - how did that go?!😒

WTF was Melania doing there?

Who needs kids. 🤦‍♀️.

He can send Baron to school but he can't force people if they are uncomfortable to do the same.

He’s still in denial

'he'll put pressure on the governors'?!? The person who will not take responsibility?!?

Get our most vulnerable to safety and get on with life. It is immoral to deprive children of education because there is risk to the most elderly and the most sick.

America needs people who have covid 19 to start recording their journey so those who don't think this is a big deal can see that it is. If I get it I am doing this.

I’m pretty sure 99 out of 100 parents would like to send their kids to school this Fall. So the question is Mr. President, what are you actually doing to resolve the pandemic and make a safer environment for this to happen? Because up to this point (July 7), it’s been NOTHING

Hey realDonaldTrump

You have to worry about the Flu too with children

He can pressure all he wants...if it’s not safe, don’t open! My kid is staying home!

Not one mention for the concern and health of staff at the schools.

They didn’t “minimize” the risk. The risk IS low for healthy children. Period. The data all over the world supports this conclusion.

We should take the advice of our epidemiologists.

How about sending you son to school with a group of other kids asshole!

Florida governors encouraged everyone to stay away from crowded places on the same day he announced that he will force children to return to school full time.

25thAmendmentNow

Extrort? He needs to use his words.

Yeah. How? You have no money for them. They think you are ridiculous. And parents (well, good parents) aren’t going to risk their kids. Want to make a difference for a change. Take back the billions for your buddies and fund education.

Not his call. And besides, Republicans (and certainly not Trump) don't care about children learning in schools. They care about their for-profit schools being open, I suppose. But they don't care about the risks to kids one way or another.

Look at what his puppet in FL has done.

Because science?

Fully reopen schools in the fall Hell to the no, we won’t!

Now Trump has moved onto “I need a favor though” tactics with parents and children? NoBottom

No plan. No assistance. Just pressure. “Do what I say, or else.”

People everywhere of all ages need to get on with their lives despite the risk. Long term lock down is maddening madness. It's doing more long-term harm then good.

Would trump put his grand kids in a public school? How about you IVANKA. How about you Donnie J.? Didn't think so. Practice what you damn preach.

Chinese students who are members of Chinese Communist Party should be banned from entering the U.S. They are not here to contribute to the scientific community but to steal technologies that belong to hard-working Americans. Act now.

Pending disaster.

If you are scared, 'You can always pay someone to stand-in for you at school.' trump WhartonBusinessSchool

They can open whatever they want. Ppl just wont send their children if it’s not safe. PERIOD.

Newsflash realDonaldTrump, children are vulnerable.

President Trump is killing Americans.

ChildSacrifice

Trump thinks he can wave a magic wand and Covid will listen to his rumblings. Hey trump, Covid is not like your weak republicans on Capitol Hill who will bend to your every lousy idea.

This is simply Annoying Orange getting his ducks in a row for re-election. This has ZERO to do with protecting the innocent from a virus that educated, health professionals say is only in the first wave..

That’s his plan, to put pressure on governors?

If you have to pressure states to make schools reopen then it obviously isn’t safe. What about us teachers with families? Don’t we matter? I guess not!

You get a COVID! You get a COVID! You all get COVID! A vote for Trump is a vote for COVID. MakeAmericaSickAgain

Trump is basically saying to kids, parents, families and state leaders open schools. He must win at all cost. 133,000 deaths are not enough. He’s more important.

What about the fact that some teachers and many support staff (cafeteria workers, bus drivers, etc) tend to be older and could have pre-existing conditions? Are they supposed to choose between paying the bills or risking their health?

Come make me! Fvck that whole administration! Nothing but money laundering, human trafficking subhumans!

He did that yesterday with CAPS LOCK

Ivanka is responsible in large part for this mess.
