For Trump, teachers would represent not only years of being told to do things he didn't want to do, but year after year of confrontations with his failure to learn, whether or not it was due to an actual learning disability.
Add to that teachers and teacher unions opposing him politically. But I'd bet the chldhood attitude is more important.
So there's not only a lack of concern behind his wanting schools to reopen despite the risk to teachers.
It's almost certain there's actual malice toward the profession.

"In the second grade I actually gave a teacher a black eye I punched my music teacher because I didn't think he knew anything about music and I almost got expelled," Trump says. "I'm not proud of that, but it's clear evidence that even early on I had a tendency to stand up and make my opinions known in a very forceful way. The difference now is that I use my brain instead of my fists."

(15,051 posts)He thinks almost everyone who workers harder than him, for less money, is a sucker/dupe/loser, and I'm sure teachers are included in that.

(83,987 posts)He has several, never been a father figure. The only one he has any attachment to seems to be Ivanka and he has time and again said that he wanted to **** her.
He hates kids and would sell his own out in a NY minute to save his worthless ass.
No surprise that he wants to send them back, along with the teachers to die for his reelection.

(32,017 posts)I suspect, however, that he has a special loathing for teachers, and I dont believe for a second that he has any concern for the health and well-being of teachers.
