8. Someone in the MSM needs to ask him just that:

"Mr. President, umm, sir, sir, when will you be sitting in at a school after the reopening, in a regular classroom, sir, I mean with coughing and sneezing children all around you, none of them wearing masks, sir, when will you schedule a day or, better still, several days, in schools in different parts of the country, in city schools, in country schools, in private schools, sir, when?"

Because if he won't do it, it's because he knows that ordering schools to reopen is a death sentence for teachers and support staff as well as for some of the children. And he also knows -- or god damn him if he remains ignorant of the fact that -- many of the people he condemns to unsafe classrooms who contract the disease and do not die will, nevertheless, carry debilitating and lasting side effects with them to the detriment of their health and life expectancy -- even the youngest of the children. And whether despite knowing the dangers or through willful and spiteful ignorance of those dangers, Trump will be responsible for every episode of covid19 emerging from schools that open too early, for every lingering side effect, for every death.

Maybe the MSM has to get on him about this, or on any of his spokes-zombies at the very least.
