President Donald Trump is expected to take a pass on handing out this year's National Teacher of the Year award honors — forgoing a tradition that dates to President Harry Truman.
Last year, Trump awarded the honor to Mandy Manning, who teaches English to refugees and immigrants in Washington state. At the White House event, Manning handed Trump a letter from a Rwandan immigrant student that urged the president to “take care” with his language about immigrant and refugee communities. She also wore a pin that read “Trans Equality Now.”Sign Up
Trump during his remarks honoring Manning noted the longevity of the tradition of the president bestowing the award.
Maybe he's afraid the winner will ask him to spell something or, solve a simple math problem.
MiaFarrow Just because I am Canadian, does not mean I don't care! Lies, Trump has told over 10,100 since taking the white house. Every country in our world is in trouble.Please stop all the fighting. America has always been the example we all look to. Get the traitors out! Once and for all
Mention the reason. Do it.
MiaFarrow Why hand out awards to teachers when you don’t value education? His time will be much better spent perfecting his golf swing. 🏌️ Fore! IndividualNumberOne UnindictedCoconspirator VeryStableGenius FeckingMoron WeLoveTheUndereducated
Did he do it last year?
MiaFarrow Wow!
MiaFarrow tRump prefers the uneducated. Easier to LIE, manipulate & CONtrol. Educated ppl see right through him, he’s a FRAUD & a HATER ImpeachmentNOW
MiaFarrow Why? Why can he not follow any traditions or norms?
Idiots are commonly afraid of teachers.
MiaFarrow He can't read so why bother
Because the winner is BLACK! No other reason except for realDonaldTrump bigotry.
Congratulations to Mr. Rodney Robinson - 2019 Teacher of the Year! I only wish there was a real president in the White House that could celebrate this accomplishment with you. Unfortunately, we all know that Donald would somehow make your award about himself. teacheroftheyear
MiaFarrow Must have a tee time that takes precedence.
How about Obama filling in!
MiaFarrow Good. I know not a single teacher who would want to be even miles near him.
AvaHarlow Will Betsy fill in for him? Because you know she’s so qualified in the field and all ...😐🙄
is there someway the rest of us can send this gentleman our congratulations, like a bombardment of congratulatory cards and letters? we need to shower him with appreciation! and overshadow the story of trumpsky's racism!
He’s black and Trumps’s racist. See how easy that was
The teacher is black.
He's got more important issues to deal with than handing out teacher awards. Maybe some Congress peeps can fill in. Take a break from filing subpoenas and working on destruction of trump.
Another example of this man's disdain for the working class of this nation. A large majority of teachers in this society today find themselves acting as far more than mere teachers. If any profession deserves presidential recognition it is they. A TRULY SAD ACT.
True to form. The man does not like to read.
Perhaps he'll hold a rally instead.
Dumb kids are afraid of teachers.
It makes sense that Trump should not hand out an educator's award. An uneducated & ignorant Drumpt isn't qualified to do so!! DeVos is also singularly unqualified to do so!!
It would be so obvious if it weren't so obvious.
Waste of time anyway, we are not educating the kids it’s called indoctrination.
Good call. Just avoided a boo out
I may be mistaken, but I believe the National Teacher of the Year is a black man. If I am correct, then DerangedDonald is even worse than I thought!
If the 45th Agenda is cleaning the swamp then everything must go...can't pick and choose what you want...there will still be cancer cells....can't just depend on remission it might come.
Plan and simple 🤔
No current teacher should be honored for indoctrinating the children into the lies of the dem party. Teach them the truth about history and then, we'll talk. Stop pushing the evil islam on everybody also. Teach about the bible again, it is the truth, not the koran.
What a relief for teachers!
Thats because the last years winner was a hater and embarrassed herself. Trump doesn’t want anymore teachers embarrassing themselves. MAGA
Coward.
If I was that teacher, I would be glad to not get it from a bigot like Trump
When realDonaldTrump passes on being US president? Never seen a more useless man than him.
He had a date with the NRA, I heard. Money first.
He's jealous because National Teacher of the Year is loved & smart...something he is not!
You know he doesn’t like THE BLACKS, teacher or not, he’ll pass.
He doesn't like teacher because smart people don't vote for him
There is a God.
Frankly, the Teacher of the Year wouldn't want to have their day ruined with realDonaldTrump 's presence. Stay home, Donald, no one will miss you!
Keep them stupid - Vote Republican!!
Why should PresidentTrump celebrate teachers if he loves the poorly educated?
fatNixon really sux!
Education.. not his strong suit.
So he'll give Tiger Woods some ridiculous award for winning a golf game but he can't be bothered to give a teacher an award? DerangedDonald realDonaldTrump
I just wonder why trump is not going to this social events. I believe bc they are probably to early for him to wake up and not have enough time for his crazy tweets or too late that he can't miss flush fox news.( flush when you flush your toilet)
I wonder why he’s skipping out? Not really.
It would take a leader to hand out this award. Donnylittlehands is not a leader. He’s uneducated and well versed in cheating and lying. Three things teachers despise.
How did a guy teaching social studies at a juvenile detention center become the best public schoolteacher in the country? It doesn't sound 'politically correct' or anything, does it?
He's afraid there's a test at the end.
The GOP war v. public education.
Wonder why? Could it be cause TOY is black?
He is a disgrace.
Let me guess, he’s too busy? 🤣🤣
Well he’s not much on education
It's because he can't read. So, respectful.
What teachers the teaching wing of the communist party
No one cares if realDonaldTrump shows up for anything! Keep your ample orange behind at home! The less we see you the better! He scared a teacher might ask him a question to see just how dumb he is 🙄🤥👿🤡
DerangedDonald
The Teachers Union needs to Get OFF The Liberal Band Wagon and Join the Constitutional Conservative Band Wagon FORGET Republicans and Democrats
Trump does not want to be near black people and he prefers to be in the presence of people who are worth millions of dollars. He worships money. There are strong reasons why Jesus Christ said that it is difficult for a rich man to enter God's kingdom. Matthew 19:23-24.
Trump had his feelings hurt last year
Why? Because he’s dumb?
No more fake awards to liberals nominated by fake teachers and coward demons asclowns liberals that hate great conservative Christian teachers . You will not trick The lord Jesus.
How would he read? What a challenge for ignorants.
2019 teacher of the year...I see a pattern maybe Trump thinks he is from Kenya
School Choice Now!
Yeah, because who needs teachers? 🙄
trump = biggest mistake in USA history
So what
He can't even SPELL teacher!
No one wants an award from Trump.
It gets in the way of golf.
He is a schmuck
Is Mr.Robinson Black? Is that why Racist in Chief wont be there? AFTunion
In the spirit of 'everything he touches dies'...no one should ever be in the same room as His Supreme Assholiness. Consider it fortunate,he does not deserve to be in the presence of teachers.
This administration certainly doesn't champion education.
I’m pretty sure trump never had a good interaction with any teacher.
First off, he’d be the dumbest guy in the room! Secondly, he can’t take a joke! Which actually you need some amount of intelligence to do that which we know he doesn’t have!!
Hates being in the room with people smarter than him 👈
Along with the women's basketball tradition. He only wants women around he can grab by the pussy. (Children, immigrants, esl models, etc). Teachers and female pro athletes are intelligent and won't take his abuse. He's a monster.
Wow. That is disgusting. realDonaldTrump
Of course. Teachers don’t make enough money to give large campaign contributions or to buy his luxury apartments.
we don't need no education betsy will give us some vouchers hey teachers leave them kids alone all and all we're another brick for the wall
I would not expect anything less of him. Hes such a joke.
Adding to the list the GOP hate the poor, the middle class, the elderly, the Gold Star family and Teachers.
That’s bc he never learned a damn thing. cheaterinchief
Thank you, President Donald J. Trump for Making America Great Again! It's been a Great rally in Green Bay Wisconsin on this beautiful Saturday night! USA
Makes sense to me. Teachers are 95% liberal...
Incredible.
? WTF?
Because Donald averaged F in his school years
Dear god. If he went you’d give him a hard time too
