President Trump on Wednesday said that he would be comfortable sending his school-age son and grandchildren to school in person this fall amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

“I am comfortable with that, and we do have a national strategy, but, as you know, ultimately, it’s up to the governors of the states,” Trump said Wednesday after being asked if he plans to “do a national strategy to help schools reopen” and whether he would feel comfortable sending the children in his family to school.

“I would like to see the schools open 100 percent. And we’ll do it safely. We’ll do it carefully,” Trump told reporters at a Wednesday press briefing.

Based on this person's particular individual and familial psychopathology, is anyone really surprised by this?

Suffering from NPD as he has, and being raised by someone with sociopathic tendencies, he sees his children and grandchildren less as human beings, and more as commodities and opportunities. If would be benefit him politically for his child or grandchild to be seen in school during a pandemic, who cares if his own or others' children die as a result?

Yes, we have a gameplan, but you guys run out on the field and do whatever you want.

My thoughts exactly. I want schools open as usual, face-to-face, 5 days a week, and if you don’t I will cut your Federal funding. (I want my magical outcome).

But it’s up to the governors. (But if bad things happen, I want someone to blame).

He’s just thrashing around so much these days, he can’t keep a coherent thought process going.

BTW, he doesn’t have a plan to safely reopen schools any more than he has a great health care plan that’s going to be signed next week.

That may happen. But they would be walking into an expensive private school most likely, a place with the financial means to upgrade ventilation and provide other methods of protection from the virus. They start with smaller class sizes as well.

Now walk into a public school, that ain't happening.

Cruella DeVos has a gameplan:


‘ Betsy DeVos just crossed another line. She's an ongoing danger to teachers and students.’


“ Secretary DeVos is, in effect, out of control. Each day she remains in her position she presents a real danger to the health and well-being of students and the state systems of education that serve them. States and school leaders must abandon any pretenses that the Secretary of Education can or will provide any helpful leadership. If our schools are to make it safely through this coming academic decision, they must look inward, make decisions based on local circumstances, and exercise the authority that rests in their hands, not with DeVos. “

He never said what school -- Public or Private?

The Loudoun School for Advanced Studies is a 6-12 school that has a 4:1 student to teacher ratio. Total enrollment is 53.

That is a long way from typical DC public high school enrollment of 1,800.
