And Trump swallowed the first ignorant post hook, line and sinker.

Trump is the most pathetic thing to happen to America.

Last Sunday, Germany (population 80.2 million) had 159 new cases of covid-19;
Florida (population 21.5 million) had 15,300.

America's biggest problem at the moment is Trump's administration poor handling of the pandemic.

Until that is fixed, nothing will work. Unfortunately, Trump is only interested in reelection.

With coronavirus infections spreading fast and COVID-19 deaths climbing yet again, most Americans say the country is not ready to send children back to school this fall — and they emphatically reject every aspect of President Trump’s new effort to force public schools to fully reopen, according to the latest Yahoo News/YouGov poll.

The survey, which was conducted between July 11 and 14, found a remarkable consensus on the issue of school reopenings that transcended party lines, geographic boundaries and demographic divisions.


A full 63 percent of Americans say Trump should not be pressuring schools to reopen. Only 25 percent say he should continue his push. At the same time, a mere 30 percent of Americans believe the Trump Administration is doing everything it can to stop the coronavirus.

Instead, more than three-quarters (77 percent) insist that America’s priority should be to limit the spread of the virus, even if it means students can’t physically return to schools; just 23 percent think America’s priority should be to fully reopen schools this fall, even if it increases the risk to public health.

Majorities of Democrats (95 percent), independents (72 percent), Republicans (58 percent) and parents of K-12 students (72 percent) agreed that reopening schools should take a backseat to public health. The only category of Americans who disagreed, by a slim 51 percent to 49 percent margin, was those who say they intend to vote for Trump in November.

Likewise, fewer than one quarter of Americans (23 percent) favor a return to in-person classes for children in places where there are large numbers of new COVID-19 cases. A majority (52 percent) are opposed. Again, the only group that wants schools to fully reopen in hotspots (45 percent to 29 percent) are self-described Trump voters. Even Republicans are evenly divided on the issue, with 39 percent saying yes and 38 percent saying no.



Reports have suggested that Trump launched his back-to-school offensive after advisors pitched it as an effective wedge issue that would “play well with the female and suburban voters the president needs to remain in office.”

There is little evidence, however, that the tactic is working.

Trump has blasted as “very tough” and “very impractical” the CDC’s guidelines on school reopening, which recommend staggered class schedules and call for schools to intensively clean surfaces, ensure proper ventilation, spread out desks and provide isolation rooms for sick students. Yet according to the Yahoo News/YouGov poll, only 9 percent of Americans think that the CDC’s guidelines are “too strict.“ Seventy-nine percent think they’re either “about right” or “not strict enough.”

Trump has said that Democrats want to keep schools closed “for political reasons, not for health reasons.” Americans believe the opposite, with 62 percent citing health and only 38 percent citing politics as the reason some officials are reluctant to reopen schools.

Trump has also threatened to withhold federal funding from school districts that refuse to fully reopen. Only 19 percent of Americans would support this.

Overall, just 41 percent of voters approve of Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic; 57 percent disapprove. Huge majorities think Trump should be doing things he has resisted doing, including wearing a face mask to set an example (75 percent); encouraging others to cover their faces as well (78 percent); and meeting regularly with Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert (61 percent). A plurality (44 percent) say the COVID-19 situation would be better right now if Joe Biden were president. Just 30 percent say it would be worse.

If Trump wants to alter perceptions of his pandemic response, he could start by pulling a 180 on school funding. A full 67 percent of Americans favor increasing federal aid to public schools to keep students and staff safe from the coronavirus this fall; only 16 percent are opposed. The policy is even popular with Trump voters, who back it 59 percent to 24 percent.

In March, less than one percent of Congress’s pandemic relief package went to K-12 schools. In May, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called a $3 trillion, House-approved relief bill containing K-12 money “dead on arrival.” More recently, McConnell has said the Senate is likely to consider an additional relief package that would prioritize money for schools. A report Wednesday in the Washington Post indicated that the White House and Senate Republicans are developing plans to prod schools to reopen by attaching incentives or conditions to tens of billions of dollars of new aid as part of the next relief.

Canifa:
@ OP, what are u insinuating attributing Trump to this?

Yes. See picture of the Governor at the rally. No mask, no social distancing. And yes he was warned. It was a very big debate just few weeks ago.

Olominira:
If it's possible, I'd have suggested the elections be postponed to save lives. Unfortunately, this is beyond anyone's capacity.

There is already a legitimate and safe option for voters - Mail-In Voting.

Anyone who do not want to come out to vote, can just request for the ballot and vote from home. Postal service will deliver it. Officials will count and volla.

Trump is catching cold.

Trump and his crew kept living in denial and calling it a hoax.

Many Americans have died due to Trump's negligence and mismanaging the pandemic.

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt announced on Wednesday that he has tested positive for COVID-19 weeks after attending a campaign rally for President Trump in Tulsa.

During a remote press conference, Stitt said that he tested positive for the disease caused by exposure to the coronavirus on Tuesday afternoon.

“I feel fine,” said Stitt, the first U.S. governor to announce testing positive for the COVID-19. “I felt a little bit achy yesterday. I did not have a fever.”

Stitt said he is working with contact tracers and will keep working from home in isolation. His wife and children have tested negative, he said.

The Republican governor attended Trump’s controversial campaign rally in Tulsa on June 20. Health officials there said the rally “more than likely” contributed to a surge in coronavirus cases.

“The past two days we’ve had almost 500 cases, and we know we had several large events a little over two weeks ago, which is about right,” Tulsa Health Department Executive Director Bruce Dart said on July 9. “So I guess we just connect the dots.”

At least eight Trump campaign staffers who attended the rally in Tulsa later tested positive for coronavirus, according to CNN.

On the eve of the rally, Stitt downplayed concerns about holding the event amid the pandemic.

“We have been safely reopening,” Stitt said during an interview with Fox News on June 16. “We were one of the first states to start reopening. So, we’re 57 days into our reopening campaign, and we feel like it’s the right time to start reopening. So we’re excited about the president coming.”

Stitt, who did not wear a mask at the rally, said Wednesday that he does not believe his exposure came from the event. He also said he would not have been contagious before this past Saturday, but it’s unclear how he would know that.

On Tuesday, Oklahoma reported 993 new coronavirus cases, its highest single-day tally since the pandemic began. Overall, the state has had more than 21,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases, and 428 deaths.

“We need to take this virus very seriously,” Stitt said. “We need to come together and make sure each one of us is doing the best we can to slow the spread."

Many states have mandated that people wear face coverings to stop the spread of the virus when social distancing is not possible. Concern over rising cases and deaths recently prompted the governors of Alabama, Kentucky and Louisiana to join more than a dozen other states that have some form of a statewide mask mandate.

But Stitt said that Oklahoma won't be one of them.

“I’m not thinking about a mask mandate at all,” he said, adding: “I’m hesitant to mandate something that is problematic to enforce.

President Trump is the most pathetic fellow to occupy such an elevated post in recent times.

President Trump has called many things hoaxes over the years — the investigation into his 2016 campaign’s dealings with Russia, his impeachment, global warming — but on Monday he called into question the existence of an epidemic that has killed more than 135,000 Americans.

During a flurry of activity on his Twitter account, Trump retweeted a message from game show host Chuck Woolery that claimed “everyone is lying” about the coronavirus as part of a plot to sabotage the economy and hurt Trump’s reelection campaign.

“The most outrageous lies are the ones about Covid 19,” wrote Woolery in the message promoted by Trump. “Everyone is lying. The CDC, Media, Democrats, our Doctors, not all but most ,that we are told to trust. I think it’s all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I’m sick of it.”

Asked about the retweet at a briefing later Monday, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said that the “notion of the tweet was to point out the fact that when we use science, we have to use it in a way that is not political.”

A key problem keeping the economy from coming back is the 135,000 Americans dead from the coronavirus, per tracking by Johns Hopkins University, which reported 61,352 new cases and 685 deaths on Saturday. Woolery didn’t say whether he thought the death toll was faked. Florida set a record for most single-day cases of any state so far with more than 15,000 reported Saturday, the same day Walt Disney World reopened in Orlando. Arizona, California, Florida, Mississippi and Texas have all set record highs for daily deaths over the last week.

Trump sometimes uses “hoax” as an all-purpose denigration of opinions — or facts — he doesn’t like. In February he called criticism of his administration’s response to the coronavirus the Democrats’ “new hoax,” but he didn’t quite deny the existence of the epidemic, as Woolery appeared to do in his tweet.

There is no obvious precedent for a president repeating criticism that a key agency in his own administration — the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — is lying, except for Trump himself, and the many times he has accused the FBI and the intelligence services of intentionally undermining him.

Around the same time, Trump’s former acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, who belongs to none of the categories Woolery said were telling “outrageous lies” about COVID-19, signified that he took the pandemic seriously. In an op-ed published on the CNBC website, Mulvaney wrote: “I know it isn’t popular to talk about in some Republican circles, but we still have a testing problem in this country. My son was tested recently; we had to wait 5 to 7 days for results. My daughter wanted to get tested before visiting her grandparents, but was told she didn’t qualify. That is simply inexcusable at this point in the pandemic.”

Trump also retweeted Woolery’s statement “There is so much evidence, yes scientific evidence, that schools should open this fall. It’s worldwide and it’s overwhelming. BUT NO.”

The mortality rate in children is lower from the virus, but there’s still much researchers don’t know about COVID-19, including the potential long-term effects on children and their ability to spread it to older, more vulnerable relatives and caregivers. Teachers’ unions say their members are reluctant to return to classrooms until the epidemic is under control. On Friday, the American Academy of Pediatrics hedged its initial plan for in-person schooling by releasing a statement that said, “Public health agencies must make recommendations based on evidence, not politics” and “Science and community circumstances must guide decision-making.”

It’s accurate that other countries are planning to open schools in the fall, but they did a better job at suppressing the virus through testing, contact tracing and communicating the importance of masks than the U.S. government.

Trump has downplayed the deaths of Americans previously while in office, stating that the death toll in Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria wasn’t as high as multiple studies concluded after the White House’s slow response to the natural disaster was criticized.

“3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico,” Trump said in September 2018, a year after the storm. “When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. As time went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000.”

The official Hurricane Maria death toll, according to the Puerto Rican government, is 2,975. That number, calculated by researchers with the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University, is lower than that of a Harvard study, which put the number at 4,645. Either number would make Maria the deadliest natural disaster in the United States in over a century.

The president has consistently called the investigation into Russia’s influence on the 2016 election a hoax, but special counsel Robert Mueller’s team found evidence there was foreign interference and contact between Trump adviser Roger Stone and Russian intelligence officers.

“We also identified numerous links between the Russian government and Trump campaign personnel — Stone among them,” Mueller wrote Saturday in a Washington Post op-ed. “We did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired with the Russian government in its activities. The investigation did, however, establish that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome. It also established that the campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.”

Trump also called his impeachment over his attempts to pressure Ukraine into releasing damaging information on Joe Biden a hoax, although a majority of the House — nearly every Democrat and Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, a Republican turned independent — voted to impeach him on counts of abuse of power and obstructing Congress. Every Democratic senator along with Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah voted to convict on the abuse-of-power charge, but they fell short of the 67 votes needed to remove him from office, as the other 52 Republican senators supported the president.

Trump has repeatedly called global warming a hoax, at one point saying it “was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” A vast majority of scientists believe that humans are causing climate change, and last month a Russian town within the Arctic Circle saw a record temperature of 100.4 degrees.

OLAADEGBU:


Stone was convicted in Obama's court for covering up Russian Collusion which Muller's report proved never happened as the cartoon I posted depicted.

Obama's Court? Guy, your case is pathetic and irredeemable.

Shm

OLAADEGBU:


Same way Trump was impeached by the corrupt kangaroo court of Democrats while the Senate acquitted him.

Stone was tried and convicted in court. It was not a partisan conviction. And you know that.

But you can keep posting your cartoon like the toddler in the White House.

OLAADEGBU:
yA1€

We know why Obama's court will not like this development.

Spin it all you want, it is on record that Roger Stone was convicted in court for deliberately lying to Federal Prosecutors, misleading Congress and undermining investigation into Russia's interference in the Election.

Trump commuted his sentence to buy his silence. Even against the advice of his people.

Trump risked it all because keeping Mr. Stone silent is a bigger priority for him.

Trump commuted his sentence to buy his silence. Roger Stone must have threatened to spill on the Russian Interference.

Another Nondisclosure agreement on the table. Very corrupt Pay To Play extortionist.

Another Nondisclosure agreement on the table.

President Donald Trump on Friday commuted the prison sentence of longtime adviser Roger Stone, who was found guilty of seeking to thwart congressional and FBI investigations into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Stone, 67, was sentenced in February to three years and four months in prison after a trial late last year where a jury found him guilty on all seven felony charges brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

The White House said in a statement: "Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Grant of Clemency commuting the unjust sentence of Roger Stone, Jr," calling Stone "a victim of the Russia Hoax that the Left and its allies in the media perpetuated for years."

Trump acted just after a federal appeals court panel denied a last-ditch bid by Stone to delay an order for him to surrender at a federal prison in Jesup, Ga. next Tuesday. Stone claimed he suffered from health conditions that put him at serious risk of dying if he went to that prison, which is experiencing a coronavirus outbreak.

Trump's move to protect a close ally from a conviction stemming from a probe that also included an investigation of Trump’s own conduct quickly set off explosive recriminations in the Democratically controlled House, where leaders have long said clemency for Trump’s inner circle would amount to obstruction of justice. It also comes despite Attorney General Bill Barr’s declaration that Stone’s prosecution was “righteous” and that his sentence was fair.

“Stone repeatedly lied to the House Intelligence Committee under oath and threatened a witness, all to cover up an effort by President Trump and his campaign to secretly communicate with Wikileaks and exploit its release of Russian-hacked emails targeting his opponent,” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said in a statement. “With this commutation, Trump makes clear that there are two systems of justice in America: one for his criminal friends, and one for everyone else.”

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler and House Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney said they intended to immediately seek a briefing from the White House counsel about the circumstances of Stone's commutation.

Trump’s involvement in the case prior to Friday — criticizing the initial sentence proposed by prosecutors, attacking the judge and jury in the case — had already prompted howls of outrage from Democrats, accusations of self-dealing and warnings from Justice Department veterans about an effort to shatter the justice system’s independence to benefit the president.

The rebuttal of Buhari saying he didn't make that promise according to thread link you sent has no verifiable link from a media house.

If the news was fake news, those two media houses would have removed it from their website since 2015.
