'Five-alarm fire': Trump's latest public schools threat causes experts to panic
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
D onald Trump said something about public schools that got no media coverage, yet it's causing political analysts, ex-prosecutors, and other onlookers to sound the alarm.
Trump began hinting last year that, if he were made the president once again, he would withhold all federal funds from schools that require vaccines or masks.
On Saturday, he doubled down on that promise.
As reported by former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA), "Trump said in Richmond, that he will take all federal funds away from public schools that require vaccines."
"Like most states, Virginia requires MMR vaccine, chickenpox vaccine, polio, etc.," she then added. "So Trump would take millions in federal funds away from all Virginia public schools."
Former federal prosecutor Shan Wu responded to Comstock Sunday, saying, "It's almost like Trump and his advisors want Americans to be sickened from disease..."
The comment futher caught the attention of Elizabeth de la Vega, also a former federal prosecutor. She said, "Trump said yesterday that he would take away federal funding from school systems that require vaccines."
"This should be a five-alarm fire," she then added. "In 1955, before the polio vaccine was widely administered, my 13yr old brother spent a year on his back because of polio. My H.S. English teacher, a former football star, walked with arm braces [and] dragged his legs because he'd had polio years before. This is the world Trump wants."
Former "Tea Party" Republican Rep. Denver Riggleman (VA) also chimed in:
"We can only surmise, Trump cares for all children about as much as he cares for his own."
"His ignorance is an infection that needs its own vaccine," the former lawmaker added.
Conservative Rick Wilson called Trump's purported plan "a death sentence for American school kids."
Actor Jon Cryer said it would be "truly psychopathic."
"It's difficult to overstate how disastrous this policy would be if enacted," the former co-star of Two and a Half Men said on Saturday.

the most unfit presidential candidate in US history
back in the day "the Congo" was synonymous with the n word in some white neighborhoods
Lovely. I'm glad my son has already graduated from the Virginia public school system. But I do have to wonder, from where do these idiots expect me to hire employees, if schools here aren't funded? I don't have time to train employees who lack a basic high school education.
(1) Can you provide a link to him saying it?
(2) What authority does the President have to do this?
I don't care if he has the authority or not, he's not fit to hold public office in the United States of America.
what kind of fucking maniac says that in a campaign speech?
The fool, Donald Trump, is desperate to win this election in 2024! Otherwise, he will be held on at least two federal court cases he would gravely prefer to end by his direction to his newly 2024 appointed Attorney General!
He is going to say anything about, through, for, at, and in the approximate vicinity of: The proverbial - "kitchen sink."
Here is the article with the video of Trump saying everything that is attributed to him.
No authority at all.
I've listened to the complete speech and there were more lies in it than in the last 100 years.
Trump has said many times, "Presidents have the authority to do whatever they want."
It is all just rhetoric to this fool, Donald Trump. Because even if barred by contractual agreements or law, Trump will make inane statements and assertions just to get the "itchy" ears of his supporters to clamor: "Yes!" "Yes!" "We love this—Win and do it!" That man is the biggest piece of work that ever picked a moment in time to become president.
What a first class clown: The fool has forgotten or does not care that he received his 'ration' of vaccinations too and took a 'battery' of reparative measures up the 'ying-yang' when he and his family got sick with Covid-19 in the White House, of all places.
We can't afford a second 'turn' at social ruin, because of a selfish, disreputable, indulgent fool, and disastrous liar like Donald Trump!
Teacher unions unite! Resist!
Resist now!
