President Donald Trump lashed out at the Department of Education in the Oval Office, reiterating his desire to destroy the worthless agency.
Linda McMahon, Trump’s nominee to lead the Education Department, faces the Senate tomorrow for her confirmation hearing.
Trump said:
Look, the Department of Education is a big con job.So they ranked the top 40 countries in the world. We’re ranked number 40th, but we’re ranked number one in one department: costs per pupil. So we spend more per pupil than any other country in the world, but we’re ranked number 40. We’ve been between 38 and 40. The last time I looked at was 38, and then I looked two days ago. It came out, the new list, it came out at number 40.So we’re ranked 40. Norway, Denmark, Sweden, I hate to say it, China, as big as it is, it’s ranked in the top five and that’s a primary competitor. We’re ranked number 40. So if we’re ranked number 40 that means something’s really wrong, right?And I say send it back to Iowa. To Idaho. To Colorado. Send it back to places. And there are a lot of…Indiana, you have a great new governor. You have a great senator, that Jim Banks just got elected. You got great people, I’ll tell you what ndiana is going to be fantastic.We probably have 35, maybe 37 states, that will do as well as Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden. They’ll be just as good. Then you have the ones that we all know about. It’ll be the same story, but you know what?Even they will be good because you look at New York, you give it to Westchester County, you give it to Long Island, you give it to Nassau County, you give it to Suffolk County, same thing you go out to and you give it to upstate New York so you’d. Have four or five sections. You give it to Manhattan, Manhattan is a little bit tougher for some reason, I don’t know why it would be tougher, but it is. You give to California and you go to various areas outside of Los Angeles and you might have six or seven different subgroups.But generally, like in if you go to Iowa, you give it to Iowa. You don’t have subgroups, you have Iowa. And other places that do a good job. If they do a good job, they’re going to do a great job in education.
Trump cannot dissolve the Department of Education.
However, Trump and those he puts in the department can deplete and gut it to the point where it cannot function.
Wouldn’t that be delightful?
