Con Man: The Education Department Is “A Big Con Job”

“Look, the Department of Education’s a big con job. So we have a Department of Education where people from Washington, D.C., who many in many cases don’t care about the kids out in the country, They don’t care about the farms and the farmer’s daughter and the father’s – farmer’s sons. We have a massive bureaucracy in Washington, D.C.

“We have buildings that are all over the city – Department of Education. Department of Education’s on all these buildings. By the way. Nobody shows up to work because they’re all working at home, you know, ‘working at home.’ They’re not working at home. And a lot of them have second jobs.

“And that’s the other thing that Elon Musk is looking at. How many of these people are getting checks working at home, but they’re not working because they have second jobs and even third jobs?

“You’re going to find a lot of them and those people are going to be fired because we have to make our government smaller.” – Trump, this afternoon.

REPORTER: How soon do you want the Department of Education to be closed?

TRUMP: Oh, I’d like it to be closed immediately. Look, the Department of Education is a big con job.
