During a recent chat with Elon Musk, the 45th president didn’t hold back.

He pointed out that U.S. education scores are nosediving compared to our international pals.

We used to be #1, now we’re # last.

Money is flowing to the DOE and it’s not helping.

“I want to close the Department of Education and kick education back to the states…”

The question is, how will the media spin this?

Breitbart reports:

Former President Donald Trump wants to end the Department of Education and empower states if he is reelected, he said during an X Spaces interview with Elon Musk on Monday.

The 45th president pointed out that U.S. education scores are tumbling compared to other developed countries, even though the United States spends “more per pupil than any other country in the world.”

“I want to close the Department of Education — move education back to the states…” Trump told Musk, Tesla CEO and X/Twitter owner.

Trump contended that if states were allowed sole control of their own educational systems, it would decrease costs while driving up healthy competition between the states.

“But if you moved education back to the 50 [states], you’ll have some that won’t do well…But they’ll actually be forced to do better because it’ll be a pretty bad situation,” he said. “But if you think about it, you’ll have some of these states — I’ll bet you’d have 30, 35 states [where education] will be much better. And you know what? It’ll cost less than half what it is in Washington. And these people don’t care about the students in these far away states.”

“It would be unbelievable,” he emphasized.
