Prez goes off on Biden, ‘lefty’ schools

President Trump made a stop in the battlegrou­nd state of Florida on Friday, along the way unleashing a series of salvos on Democratic rival Joe Biden and schools across the country that may not reopen in fall and over certain curricula.

Trump was forced to cancel his New Hampshire rally scheduled for Saturday night as Tropical Storm Fay bore down on the New Jersey coast on a northerly track but he promised he would be back, tweeting: “Stay safe, we will be there soon!”

Trump said former Vice President Joe Biden stole from his new “Buy American” economic plan.

“He plagiarize­d from me. But he can never pull it off — he likes plagiarizi­ng,” Trump told reporters on the White House lawn.

Biden when he ran for president in 1988 dropped out due to a plagiarism scandal. He was exposed for using without credit lines from British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock in one of his speeches. Trump did not specify what Biden plagiarize­d, but the barb came after observers noticed the similariti­es between Biden’s new economic messaging and Trump’s more establishe­d economic nationalis­m.

In tweets aboard Air Force One shortly before arriving in Miami, the president fired his latest salvo in a war with the nation’s schools as his administra­tion pushes to have them fully reopened by the fall amid the pandemic:

“Too many Universiti­es and School Systems are about Radical Left Indoctrina­tion, not Education . . . therefore, I am telling the Treasury Department to re-examine their Tax-Exempt Status and/or Funding, which will be taken away if this Propaganda or Act Against Public Policy continues. Our children must be Educated, not Indoctrina­ted!”
