Trump knew he would get blocked, but that is now negotiation and battles work. You go for broke, knowing that you won't get it all right way. But eventually, you could get it done.
Libtards don't know this because they are girly men who know nothing about business or the real world.

Only Congress can kill what Congress created, derpa-duh fer MAgATs. Hey shithead Musk is that communist who lives off capitalism in China, but you'd suck his ass you are so enthralled with the Chinese agent in our administration.

Education reform is like the old joke, "We need a bigger truck".
An act of Congress created the Department of Education did it not? It requires an act of Congress to remove it. MAGAmerica forgets that our 3 branches are co-equal and there is a seperation of powers for a reason.

President Donald Trump has been forced to walk back his plans to shut down the Department of Education.
Trump announced on Thursday that he was signing an order that would “begin eliminating the federal Department of Education once and for all.”
He glossed over White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s earlier remarks that the Education Department would continue to handle student loans and Pell grants as well as other “critical functions,” including enforcing some civil rights laws and programs for students with disabilities.
The U-turn comes amid concern in the administration that Congress would balk at Trump’s plan to shutter the entire department.
Trump said he hoped that, “ultimately,” a bill would go before Congress to shut down the agency altogether.
“The Department of Education will be much smaller than it is today,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said ahead of Trump’s announcement. “When it comes to student loans and Pell grants, those will still be run out of the Department of Education. But we don’t need to be spending more than $3 trillion over the course of a few decades on a department that’s clearly failing in its initial intention to educate our students.”
What seems strange to me is that Congress and the Judicial branch seemingly has power over the Executive Branch. Why is that?
Trump is at the head of the Executive Branch, so it stands to reason he should be in control over it. It would be akin to Trump telling Congress what to do in any way with their branch.
Congress should have created the Fourth Branch of government under the Legislative branch instead of the Executive if they wanted to keep control over it.
Of course, you have an army of Federal judges doing the same thing to Trump, trying to tell him what he can and cannot do under the Constitution. But if I recall, the Constitution has nothing to say about an absolute army of unelected bureaucrats basically running the country.
Nothing.
Trump is not a king.
Yet.

Democrats never shrink the size of government. They expand it.
We have a 7 trillion-dollar size federal government. And a low-level judge that is a radical extremist and put into that position for this reason can control that. Are government was coopted decades ago. Trying to cut the fat and waste is seen as subversive per Progressive Socialist Communists. They should e working with the Trump administration and are not.
Look how fast we turn on people. Republican voters at least have a history of seeing it. And are sensitive do to it. Progs have no excuse. The last few years or so anyone who does not toe the line 100% is excommunicated. Now you have two factions within your party. Extreme leftists and what is called Prog moderates. You have decisions to make. And we all live off of Communist Capitalism from China. We enabled them.
Nice rant. But it has nothing to do with the fact that Congress created the Department of Education and Congress is the only that can remove it. Not the Executive. Well…unless you are going to shred the Constitution and crown him king.
Actually, from what I read, the size of the federal workforce has remained roughly the same for over 50 years while the US population has increased by 68%. That means in relation to our population, it’s been shrinking. This has been the same through both Democrat and Republican administrations.
There are other ways to expand government.
They overstepped reversing roe v wade. You lived with it no complaints. Right wing nuts are 100% conditional on law and order.

You seem to have no understanding of the American Constitution. How very odd. Did you not have Civics Classes when you attended Public School, Votto????
Why does it seem odd to YOU that Congress has power over the President. What part of "3 co-equal branches of government" do you NOT understand, Votto.

Did anyone expect the rest of the rant to be worth reading?

Education reform is like the old joke, "We need a bigger truck".
For Republicans, "education reform" is stripping out history lessons you don't like. Lessons about slavery, racial discrimination, and the genocide of Native Americans. Anything that reflects negatively on "white people". A very smart historian once said "If your nation's history doesn't make you uncomfortable, there is something wrong with you".
Republicans want your public schools to turn out good little Republicans. Smart people want an education system that prepares students for employment in the REAL world, where they will have to deal with people who don't think like them, or look like them. Where they understand science and technology.
Republican goals for public education are at odds with the real needs of American students, and employers.
