Somebody is in his ear about this:
President Donald Trump on Monday urged the nation’s governors to “seriously consider” reopening schools as part of his push to restart the economy, though many states have already recommended against resuming the school year.
“Some of you might start thinking about school openings, because a lot of people are wanting to have school openings. It’s not a big subject, young children have done very well in this disaster that we’ve all gone through,” Trump told the governors on a teleconference call, according to audio of the call obtained by CNN.
He continued, “So a lot of people are thinking about the school openings. And I think it’s something, Mike (Pence), they can seriously consider and maybe get going on it.”
But this late in the school year, it’s unlikely that many students will return to the classrooms in the immediate future.
I haven’t heard of anyone specifically pushing this schools thing but there has to be someone. And I don’t know exactly who might benefit from it. Has someone put it in his head that this will save the states money? Inquiring minds…
Meanwhile, it’s idiotic, of course. Young people can get the virus and they are notorious spreaders to everyone they come in contact with. There is no reason to open schools this year.
Why can’t he just stay out of this? Or just do what the experts are telling him and take credit. Why is he determined to do the wrong thing every single time?
