After USAID, Donald Trump's next target is Department of Education

Days after halting funding to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Donald Trump and his ally Elon Musk are targeting Department of Education.

Trump said in his interview to Fox News  that over the next day or so he will order Musk to turn his government scalpel to the Department of Education, a frequent target of Republican ire.

"Then I'm going to go to the military," Trump said, reiterating his call for a review of spending at the Pentagon, whose budget totals some $850 billion.

Donald Trump's action on the Department of Education has garnered massive criticism. Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association, the country's largest labor union, said closing down the Education Department would be devastating for students with disabilities, low-income students and other children at risk.
