U.S. President Donald Trump called on governors across the nation to work to reopen schools that were closed because of the coronavirus, pointedly taking issue with Dr. Anthony Fauci's caution against moving too quickly in sending students back to class.

The president accused Fauci of wanting "to play all sides of the equation," a comment that suggested he is tiring of the nation's top infectious disease expert.

Fauci later clarified that he was not implying students should be barred from returning to class until a COVID-19 vaccine is developed. But his comments were nonetheless seized on by conservative commentators, as well as Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who called the notion "kind of ridiculous." Trump and Fauci have publicly disagreed before, including on the effectiveness of certain drugs that have been tested to treat the virus. Trump has also complained to aides and confidants about Fauci's positive media attention and his willingness to contradict the president. But Trump has also acknowledge that the blowback to removing the doctor would be fierce.

Burgum announced this week that schools may offer some summer programs beginning June 1 if local school officials approve and precautions are taken, such as limiting class sizes. Democratic Gov. Jared Polis this month began to gradually relax restrictions, however, while warning there could be rollbacks if the virus surges.

Fauci is a fraud and Trump knows it. Fraudci has been wrong on so many levels. I wouldn’t agree with him either

HEY CTV DID YOU HEAR ABOUT JOE BIDEN SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE.

Dont open schools and put children at risk. They could die or have lifelong problems from this virus

What do you expect from a science denier anyway?

Does he want more people to die?

Which one is the President again?

He was clashing over Fauci’s non-statement when the great “Doctor” basically said he does and doesn’t support reopening

Not clashing. just disagreeing which all have the right in a free country. .Don't fuel irresponsible reporting re South of the borde;r, not a good idea. Prayers for Canada to be free. Health prosperity.🙏🙏🙏🙏

He’s using his Trump University protocols.. “Profit at all costs”

He's not the one going to school so he's not the one at risk.
