I disagree. He's pushing to reopen schools for the same reason he pushed to reopen in May.

vote in person taking proper precautions AND COVID doesn't know if you are democrat or a republican. The rising COVID disaster is NOT PLUS FOR TRUMP OR GOP.
this is a complete non-issue

He is desperate for things to go back to normal because he sees his reelection chances going up in smoke.
He's basically throwing a Hail Mary with American lives.

Or quarantined and thats just the beginning.
The virus will infect the repukes the same as Dems and then force them to vote by mail just the same....how is that any kind of strategy?
