“… Shifting duties away from the Education Department aligns with President Trump’s goal of eventually closing the agency, a move opposed by teachers’ unions and student rights groups and one that can only be accomplished with an act of Congress.

Less clear was how moving programs to other agencies aligned with Mr. Trump’s reason for closing the Education Department, which he has said was to give states more power in shaping school policies. A senior official at the Education Department said the changes would streamline bureaucracy and direct more money to the classroom.…”

I've said it elsewhere, but while Trump 1.0 was certainly bad, Trump 2.0 has simply been the drawing together of some of the worst people this country has to offer and putting them into positions of great power. Are you a bully, blatant racist, misogynist with a history of abusing/harassing women, ignorant as hell about the job you're holding, self-righteous Christian who behaves nothing like a Christian should and indulges in all sorts of sinful behavior in private, xenophobic, anti-diversity white nationalist nativist who wants all immigrants gone even while you gladly hire and use them for a variety of manual labor? Are you vulgar, crass, low-class, and love offending and trolling and threatening people on social media 24/7? Do you love using the power of your office to terrorize vulnerable groups of people who can't fight back? Are you a Social Darwinist plutocrat who wants to cut social services for poor and vulnerable people to the bone and leave them to fend for themselves while you reap massive tax cuts and benefits for yourself and your corporations? Are you a conspiracy freak who believes in bullshit medical cures and hates actual medical evidence and research?

Then boy, do we have a job for you! Just sign up to work for the second Trump administration! We'll hire you in a hot second and fire a qualified and competent and humane person to get you a position!

He's turned the presidency into a cheap, tawdry, tasteless, crappy reality television show that is increasingly totally disconnected from reality. Which ought to terrify anyone in this country with a brain, because he's just getting started and we have over three more years of this at least.
