People said about Sarah Palin that she lacked simple curiosity and then along came Donald Trump. He doesn't just lack intellectual curiosity but a complete misunderstanding of history, current events, governance and government. He, like the news outlets he so loves creates his own facts or as Kellyanne Conway put it "Alternative facts." With that list of basic failures comes those that most affect the people he supposedly governs. Lack of empathy, misogyny, racism, whit nationalism and his extreme narcissism. Are you then surprised that he wants to pretend that the coronavirus pandemic has magically disappeared and the country has returned to normal. No, you aren't. So, to assuage his fragile ego and continue the fantasy that normalcy has returned the country he's threatening to withhold funds from states who won't reopen their schools. Of course this isn't for the benefit of the students to further advance their education. It's all for the sole purpose of assuaging Donald Trump's ego and to, he hopes increase his chances for reelection. How exposing the nations students to a worldwide pandemic will increase his chances at reelection are known only to him.
Donald Trump has threatened to cut school funding for areas that refuse to reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic, adding he disagrees with the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “very tough” and “expensive” guidelines.
Pence says 'it's time' to get kids back to school, adding CDC will release new guidelines
Vice President Mike Pence, a member of the White House's Coronavirus Task Force, addressed the issue with schools reopening in the fall during a press briefing on Tuesday.
He said the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will now release new guidelines after Donald Trump called the current ones "very tough" and "expensive".
"We're absolutely determined to work in partnership with our states to give the guidance for states and communities to be able to safely reopen our schools," Mr Pence said.
The new guidelines would be "part of a five-part series of recommendations that will give all new tools to our schools," he added.
Earlier on Tuesday Mr Trump threatened to cut the federal funding of any school or district that refused to reopen in the fall. The president also pushed for schools reopening on Monday.
"As the President made clear yesterday it's time. It's time for us to get our kids back to school," Mr Pence said.
I'm sure Trump's most ardent supporters will be willing to sacrifice their children's lives to the coronavirus and his ego. While the other 70% will not.
