President Trump said he is comfortable with his son and grandchildren going back to school, arguing that schools should be open despite concerns that it could lead to more coronavirus infections
Trump’s push for schools to reopen comes even as cases of the deadly disease skyrocket across the country, including in states critical to his re-election in November such as Florida and Texas.He said he was fine with the children in his family returning to school buildings.Trump said children had strong immune systems and suggested they would not bring the disease home to parents and elderly relatives, something he said was being studied.
Trump cited civil rights demonstrations around the country as one reason for the spike in cases. The president has been criticized for his “law and order” emphasis in response to protests after the death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man in Minneapolis who died in police custody.

Trump again encouraged people to wear masks. He said it was up to governors to decide how strongly to encourage or require face coverings in their states. Trump has only worn a mask once in public but this week started encouraging their use on a wider scale.“I’m finding more and more people are saying, ‘Wash your hands.’ So, wash your hands,” he said.Our Standards:
