Trump on Biden Busing Controversy: ‘Certainly a Primary Method of Getting People to Schools’

“You know, there aren’t that many ways you’re going to get people to schools,” Trump said.

Asked to comment Saturday on the controversy surrounding federally mandated busing to integrate schools, President Trump appeared to view the question as a no-brainer—before launching into a baffling answer. “Well, that’s something that they’ve done for a long period of time. You know, there aren’t that many ways you’re going to get people to schools,” he said, responding to a question from NBC News during a news conference at the G20 Summit. Apparently confusing a mandate for local school districts to provide children with transportation with the topic of desegregation busing to integrate schools—an issue on which Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) slammed former vice president Joe Biden at the 2020 Democratic Debate on Thursday—Trump continued: “It is certainly a primary method of getting people to schools.” He also said that he thought if “Biden had answered the question somewhat differently, there would have been a different result.”
