Education secretary: Mass layoffs first step toward total shutdown​

Education Secretary Linda McMahon affirmed late Tuesday that mass layoffs are the first step toward shuttering the Education Department — a longtime goal of President Trump’s since his time on the campaign trail.

“Actually, it is, because that was the president’s mandate,” McMahon told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham on Tuesday. “His directive to me, clearly, is to shut down the Department of Education, which we know we’ll have to work with Congress, you know, to get that accomplished.”

Is completely shutting down the Dept. of Ed really trump's mandate?

Poll comes as Trump continues unconstitutional authoritarian takeover of federal agencies and prepares to take excecutive action to dismantle U.S. Department of Education.

The repeated claim by trump justifying his actions cuz he has a mandate is, well, nonfactual. Much of what is being done is not popular, even among Repubs.

It wouldn't be surprising if Linda is just misinformed, or uninformed, since she also can't identify dept. programs.

President Trump indeed has an overwhelming mandate to fulfill his agenda.

Mrs. McMahon is doing her part.

The "poll" that mattered was back in November, not some liberal bullshit taken since.

Fortunately, Linda has experience at firing people, if you'll remember how she fired Jim Ross with the traditional kick to the crotch.

President Trump indeed has an overwhelming mandate to fulfill his agenda.

Trump did not even get 50% of the popular vote. His current job approval is 45%.

"overwhelming mandate"

Fuck yea. Close that BLOATED NEEDLESS BUREAUCRACY!

Fuck Jimmy Carter.

A one vote difference would have been an "overwhelming mandate" to the rubes.

They're the Manson Girls.

The DOE was less than a year old when Ronald Reagan was sworn in.

Reagan promised to strangle the DOE in its cradle.

He failed.

Why didn't Trump end the DOE in his first term?

This is just more theater for the rubes.

You are misinformed. Thanks to the department of education, the US school system ranks 36th in the world.

Why didn't Trump end the DOE in his first term?

President Trump thought he could reform the DOE with Secretary Devos, who did a tremendous job.

But libs failed completely by stonewalling and not working together with Secretary Devos in a bipartisan way.

Nope.

We pay our teachers dogshit compared to other developed countries.

If we want quality teachers, we need to pay them what they are worth.

Actually, US teachers salaries are near the top of the list of 200 countries.

BTW, when I was in school, we were taught by nuns, who weren't paid shit compared to government school teachers.

And the results were tremendous, in comparison to the government schools. Paying more doesn't mean getting more.

That's factually incorrect, not matter how many times it gets repeated.

President Trump won every swing state by a higher margin than he did before. He won both the Senate and House.

I'd say you libs got thoroughly schlonged and no fake poll can prove otherwise.

Anti- Marxist MANDATE.

There is no mandate for eliminating the Dept. of Ed. When did you come to believe that narrowly winning an election gave any prez carte blanche to do anything he/she wants? Like pardoning violent criminals.
