Trump Does Not Have a Mandate​

The big lie Donald Trump told after the 2024 election was that he’d won a “powerful mandate” from the American people. He hadn’t, and neither had his MAGA movement. The United States is, undoubtedly, a divided nation. But a majority of Americans who cast ballots in the 2024 presidential election actually agreed on one thing: They did not want Trump as their president. With almost all of the votes tabulated, we now know that around 50.2 percent were cast for someone other than Trump. That’s a small anti-Trump majority, but it’s enough to vex the incoming president, who has been at great pains since election night to foster the fantasy that he has achieved “a political victory that our country has never seen before, nothing like this.” His right-wing allies have been equally outlandish in their assertions that America has gone full MAGA.

Trump Does Not Have a Mandate

He didn't win a majority of the popular vote, and the idea that America has gone full MAGA is outlandish.

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

Trump is preparing an executive order to abolish the Department of Education—a move that will undoubtedly hurt teachers, students, and parents in red states the most.

The draft order will direct the department to slash spending and slash staff, according to The Washington Post. Such an aggressive decision on such a large scale would have sweeping consequences.

“The Dept of Education provides crucial funding for low-income public schools—eliminating it would result in the loss of 6% of teachers’ jobs nationwide,” former adviser for Barack Obama, Steven Rattner, wrote on X.

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.”

New Poll Confirms: Trump’s Plan to Abolish Department of Education is Extremely Unpopular Among Voters - Student Borrower Protection Center

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.

Q: Do you want the USA to keep spending $280B annually to graduate the dumbest classes ever?

Q: Did you know that immediately prior to the formation of the Department of Education (1979) the USA had the world's BEST Academic performance, and we are now one of the WORST ?

Trump's cabinet doesn't need to be informed or qualified.

That's not the priority.

Then, libs should be happy.

The purpose of liberalism is to punish those who disagree with them.

I don't agree with the whole "mandate" mantra, but as it's ways said...elections have consequences. When Joe Biden was there and dems had control, everything shoved down our throats was brought to us by 306>232
