In Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and many other countries, SCHOOLS ARE OPEN WITH NO PROBLEMS. The Dems think it would be bad for them politically if U.S. schools open before the November Election, but is important for the children & families. May cut off funding if not open!

I was unsure whether my kids' schools should open in the fall, but if that's what he thinks, bring on the distance learning!
Everyone knows by now that the president's Twitter feed is a biohazard, but it's also, according to the White House, a compendium of "official statements" by the President of the United States. So let's take the three sentences of this tweet one at a time in reverse order.
May cut off funding if not open! Schools aren't funded by the federal government. He has no power to do what he threatens to do. He could, however, read his daily intelligence briefings.
The Dems think it would be bad for them politically if U.S. schools open before the November Election, but is important for the children & families. A clear case of projection. Translation: U.S. schools must open before the Election—capitalized, like "God"—because it would be bad for me politically if kids were at home at 11 a.m. on weekdays to remind their parents of what they think of how I handled the coronavirus epidemic.
In Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and many other countries, SCHOOLS ARE OPEN WITH NO PROBLEMS. Interesting that he thinks we should follow the example of all these socialist countries. He tweeted this today, July 8. Here, according to Worldometer, are the figures for new coronavirus cases on July 7 for each country named in his tweet:
Germany----------298
Denmark-----------10
Norway-------------11
Sweden-----------271
USA------------55,442
To the degree it's true that their SCHOOLS ARE OPEN WITH NO PROBLEMS, it may be that, comparatively, they don't have a problem. The best prospect of getting rid of our root problem was announced today by Cook Political Report. But we gotta vote. If like me you live in Minnesota, you can request an absentee ballot here. They mail you the ballot, you mark it and mail it back: simple. They won't send you the the general election ballot until sometime after the August primary, but you can request ballots for both elections now.
