President Donald Trump on Tuesday reiterated his preference to dismantle the Department of Education during his second-term, but indicated he preferred to build consensus around the idea rather than attempt the maneuver through executive fiat.
Trump said that some of his advisers had said he could shutter the Education Department through an executive order, but that his preference was to work with Congress as well as teachers’ unions.
“I think I’d work with Congress,” Trump told reporters Tuesday in the Oval Office. “I think we’d get — look, we have to work with the teachers union, because the teachers union is the only one that’s opposed to it. Nobody else would want to hold it back. Look, we have to tell the teachers union we’re rated last in the world in education.”
