During Trump’s press conference Trump was asked to give some “words of encouragement” for students facing a school year full of disruptions and uncertainties in the middle of a deadly pandemic. Instead of reassuring America’s students, the paranoid Donald Trump tried to make school closures into a nefarious conspiracy to bring down his presidency. In Trump’s delusional mind School Closures have nothing to with the COVID-19 pandemic, instead everyone is out to get Donald Trump!
Q: “I was wondering if you had any words of encouragement for Middle Schoolers or High Schoolers starting the school year strictly in line, who might be frustrated, wondering how they’re going to get through this next quarter, missing their friends and teachers. Just wondering if you might have some words of encouragement for them?”
Trump: “It’s such a fair question, such a good question. Yeah I mean you hear what I was saying, or what Scott will be involved, and he’ll be talking to you in the coming days. What he’s saying from great experience. No, I feel very badly for them.
And I have a feeling that on November 4th somebody’s going to announce: ‘Schools are open, the country’s open, everything’s open!’ I really beleive a lot of it is done for political reasons, if you want to know the truth. I think so.
But you’re right, online is not the same as being in the classroom. And that’s been proven. It’s been proven loud and clear.”
He feels “badly” for the students? Not as badly as he feels for his own election chances!
Trump must think the deep state has control of 13,506 local school districts. That would be an impressive organizational triumph for any nefarious group.
This question comes in the 70th minute of Trump’s rambling Lie-a-Thon.
