Just watched a Forbes youtube video.

At 1:25 he says he will close the Dept of ED - previously he said he would increase its budget and gave this pipe dream about new programs would save the day.

Let's see - overwhelming sentiment on this board is to close it. I was the first candidate to say so officially, then Vivek, and now Trump.

It's good to see him pull his head out of the clouds and finally realize you can't just throw money at things and hope they get better.

I suspect RFK Jr will not be in favor of shutting down that department. Obviously Biden would never support that. Other than Vivek, I don't think anyone else in the Republican field has endorsed that plan.

As long as a non-Dem wins this election, we may have a good shot at removing this department from the federal government.

You’re probably right to some extent. It’s blatantly obvious that Trump’s political decisions are driven by his perception of the population’s reaction.

It’s exactly why he can’t win elections anymore. He doesn’t understand how or why being beloved by the 35% of the Republicans who flood online forums doesn’t garner broader support.

Poaching off of DeSantis. As usual.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said in an interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum that as president, he would shut down the Internal Revenue Service and the federal departments of education, commerce and energy

I didn't know DeSantis had joined the club as well.

Thanks.

I have never met anyone who was educated by the Department of Education.

We’ll if he does choose to offer closing the DOE, he’d better promise to put that money into paying for exceptional teachers. Otherwise many who find the ‘Woke’ madness detestable, will vote DOE/the money.

Last election, Trump said multiple times, including during a debate, that he would close the Dept. of Ed. He didn’t. I’m a huge Trump fan, but he’s full of shite on this one.

He probably reads it to keep tabs on your campaign

Reagan promised to abolish the Dept of Ed in 1982.

Edit: maybe promise is too strong a word. He called for it to be abolished.

Dude man, he doesn’t have the mental fortitude and capacity to keep up with said campaign. He’s got the IQ of an elephant.

I believe Desantis poached it off of our very own POTUS2024 though. I don’t even know what to think anymore. It’s a crazy, mixed up, topsy turvy world we live in.

Then I would like to hear him say “all around and as far down in Louisiana people need to have patience.”
