Summary

Donald Trump announced Peggy Schwinn as the next U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education.

The decision sparked backlash from his MAGA supporters on Truth Social, who reminded him of his campaign promise to dismantle the Department of Education.

    Trump may not feel he needs these people anymore because all they have to offer are votes. He can’t run again unless the rules change, and if he manages to change the rules, then he will change them so radically that he still wont need their votes. He is only listening to folks who can give him gratuities.

    Only a matter of time before these jokers drop the first syllable when they call Trump a “reneger”. Then all bets are off. These are the folks who like watering the tree of liberty every now and then, after all.
