Fmr. Education Secretary: Trump Has ‘No Ability To Order Schools To Reopen’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
This is exactly how Trump ran his casinos into the ground. With pure,100%,, uncut, undiluted, concentrated, weapons grade incompetence.
laundering money it´s a bit different than bankruptcy, they might fall in the middle of a Venn diagram
Weapons grade incompetence is Trumps MO in everything he has tried. Add to that weapons grade ignorance and malignancy, and he’s the shambles that we see destroying your country from within. I sincerely hope that he can be ousted in November so that the US can hold its head up on the world stage once again.
@Mary Lynne
👍 Let’s vote and keep our fingers crossed.
@David J – yes a tidal wave of blue to wash away the stench of corruption.
Pretty funny that the guy who had to pay someone to take his SATs, and flunked so many classes he’ll sue any institution that releases his transcripts….thinks he knows how schools work. 😅😂🤣
I know right. The nerve…..
😂😂
👍😂
Well said 👏👏👏👏
45 is what happens if you never learn to do your homework. Stay in school kids
@Pete one Not without inherited wealth and a small army of apologists it doesn’t
Pete one how do you know he’s a billionaire? I’d rather be poor and living paycheck to paycheck than to be like that miserable S.O.B.
@Independent Voter use Google you can find pretty much anyones net worth
@Pete one finally, someone with reality. Are these people for real or am I just reading robot comments. Glad there is at least two real people commenting. Have a great day.
@Robert Jenkins Sometimes I feel sorry for them. Pack mentality. Animalistic in nature,filled with hate and fear. Have a good day yourself.
I thought Republicans were pro life?!!! That’s right, if it’s a fetus, they want to control a woman’s body but the minute the child exits the mother, sorry but you’re on your own!!! Which hospitals will the people who need ICU beds go to? What about daycare?; Are Republicans kids going to these same schools??!!!
I agree 100% with you
Trump is an impotent child, and he is losing more and more everyday. Waiting for his meltdown.
I never heard he was impotent.
@Edward Emmick he can’t get it up anymore 😚😚
@Jim P That happens when you get older I guess, first sign to me he might be human.
@Edward Emmick I wish he was human 🤭🤭🤭🙄
I order Trump to retake his SAT on live tv. 😄
David J 🤣 thank you sir! You make me laugh 😂
@WeTheProgressives
😂😂😄
He would probably say he forgot his glasses.
Nancy M Ross 🤣
@Nancy M Ross
That’s exactly the excuse he used in a deposition when he was asked to read a document out loud.😂 I think it’s on YouTube, I’m not sure.
Governors do not even have the authority to force local schools to reopen that is left to Mayor, County Supervisors and Individual School Boards that are made up of local parents and educators.
When tRump sends Barron to go to a public school then my children can go to HIS school.
Don´t you dare
Do you think he cares about Barron?
No he cant. And that’s a stupid analogy. quit being so scared, its not healthy
@Robert Jenkins Trump Carries the T and bullies, he ain´t no jesus super christ, why has so many fall for that
Yes. Trump might send Baron to a COVID-19 infected school for political reasons, but I don’t believe Melania would do that. I hope she wouldn’t.
How do do you get a $1000 a year business? Give Trump a business that’s making 20’000’000 a year and let him weave his magic.
Good. Trump’s guidance would scar children’s lungs for life. My lungs are scarred. It disabled me. IPF. Scar tissue in lungs never gets healed. Don’t let political ambitions hurt any more children. It’s heartless.
Trump has a pact with the devil. He is now trying to sacrifice our children to his god. He needs to go live with his master.
Never thought of it that way but honestly when you see what he’s doing I actually agree with you.
Them he will need to move to Moscow!
“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”
He is trying to nail Satan´s 5 star Uber Rating, he´s failing at that too
I Agree Patrick. He Can take the Short Bus to the Short Road that Leads to Pence And his False Prophet White Evang., Cultist Community. He Is their Satanic Demonic Psychotic Anti American / Christ Chosen One, Not Americans. Whatever Road this Sick Lunatic And his Grifter, Freeloadinv Spawns Take, They Need to Get the F*** Out Of this Country And Load Up Every Cockroach that have Attached to them. VOTE
maybe he’ll write one of his executive orders and claim its a national emergency
People need to STOP being afraid of the big orange bully! He is not in charge of EVERYTHING because he is president. Enough with his dictatorship.🙄
is covid orange?
Sean M it might as well be at this point
Trump wanted the US economy opened too early and look at the spikes of Covid in Arizona right now.
You need to be a warrior.
Trump Can Send Be Best (Melania) (Barron )Son To School What Do He Have To Lose ?
Trump couldn’t even go to class and take his SAT’s, but he’s ordering our kids to go back to school. He keeps sinking lower and lower.
Power of the Purse lies with Congress. Only a dictator wouldn’t under stand that.
Donald ‘bunker baby” Trump is what happens if you never learn to do your homework. Stay in school kids
!!!!
When school starts nobody going.
Wow
Wonder if science will be on the curriculum…um
